PSP Go is released
The PSP Go is now released. Like the PSP, it's a hand-held console with a sleek design and has 16GB of internal storage. It also supports Bluetooth headsets for voice chat as well. The cost of this console is $250 USD (Wow that's near the price of the PS3 Slim!).
Sony has claimed they will launch 225 games to download on the PSP Go via the Playstation Network Online Store, also they will release "Minis" which are bite-sized budget-priced releases. Yes, that means spending money too to download games.
They seem they were aiming for the iPhone-style way. There is one thing however they should have included but they sacrificed anyway.
No UMD disk drive. That means you cannot play your PSP game discs on the PSP Go.
However, Sony did say they will find a way for playing your PSP game discs on the PSP Go but it will only mean you have to buy the game. AGAIN.
So worth it? Depends. If you want an iPhone-style hand-held to download games on the go and you have the money to cough up, get it. Though if you wanted to play mostly PSP game discs on there, it's worthless.

Don't have a PSP.
Do not want!
They put PSPGo right next to PSP. People are going to buy it, and then buy a UMD Game, or as a replacement for their regular PSP. and they're gonna find out it doesn't support UMD. Then there are gonna be some pissed off customers

How do you feel about vocal songs in the radio rotation?
PSP Go makes sense if you don't have a regular PSP. As an upgrade it's kind of useless, but as a new thing it's not too bad.
Except for the price, of course.
