The PSP Go (also written as PSPgo Sony PSP Go or PSP-go, model PSP-N1000) is a version of the Sony PlayStation Portable handheld video game device made by Sony. It was released on October 1, 2009 in Australia. Although its design is somewhat different from previous PSP hadhelds, it does not replace the PSP 3000, which Sony continues to sell and support.
Unlike earlier PSP devices, the PSP Go does not feature an optical UMD drive, but instead now has 16GB of internal flash memory to store your games, video, music and other digital media. This can be expanded by up to 32GB with any Memory Stick Micro flash card. Also the new PSP Go's rechargeable battery is not removable or replacable. It has a 3.8" 480×272 LCD. The screen slides up easily to reveal the main thumb controls.
PSP GO Connectivity
The PSP Go features built in Wi-Fi connectivity. A new proprietary multi-use cable is used for USB connectivity. A suitable USB cable is included with the PSP Go. The new multi-use connector allows for charging and USB similar to previous PSP GO's, but also allows video and sound output with the same connector (with optional Composite AV cable and Component AV cable), unlike previous models which had TV OUT functionality on a separate port to the USB port.
Sony will soon be offering an optional PSP Go cradle for charging and USB data transfer.
The PSP Go adds support for Bluetooth connectivity, enabling the use of compatible Bluetooth headsets and working with Bluetooth-enabled mobiles. This may also enable users to possibly connect and play games using a Sixaxis or DualShock 3 PlayStation 3 controller or Bluetooth headset.
There are also demo games on the PSP Go.
PSP Go Games
As the PSP Go does not feature a UMD drive, games and other PSP Go titles must be downloaded from the PlayStation Store.
The PSP Go can directly download to itself, or users can also download then transfer the games from a PlayStation 3 or the Media Go software on Windows based computers. All current downloadable PSP and PlayStation games available for older PSP models will be compatible with the PSP Go.
Sony has also confirmed that all UMD based PSP games released after October 1, 2009 will be available for download, and a majority of older UMD-only games will also be downloadable at that time.
PSP Minis
A new section of the PlayStation Store is available to all PSP owners (PSP and PSP Go). These games are under 100MB and a variety of developers will be contributing to the creation of "Minis". These games will be smaller, cheaper, and will be download only.
Expected PSP Minis included Tetris, Fieldrunners, Minigore, Puzzle Scape, Alien Havoc, Sudoku, Brainpipe, Pac-Man Championship Edition, Burn Zombie Burn 2D, Funky Punch, BreakQuest, MelodyBloxx, Hero of Sparta, and Championship Manager. Halfbrick will contribute four Minis: Echoes, Rocket Racing, Blastoff, and Zombies. Icon Games Entertainment has revealed it's working on four Minis: Arcade Air Hockey & Bowling, Arcade Pool & Snooker, Stuntcars and Arcade Darts.
