The song really did get to me after a while, but I really miss this song being played in Playstation Home. Bring it back Sony 
Great video, I'll be getting a PSP GO when it's released

you can put downloaded games onto your computer? that means you can upload full psp games onto download sites and people can then get games for free.
or am i missing something
wouldnt this just increase illegal downloading ?
No, it tranfers it directly from the internet to your PSP, it isn't saved anywhere on your PC.
I really like the look of PSPGo, but there are a few questions that Sony have yet to answer...
What price will the downloadable games be? Gran Turismo PSP has an RRP of £24.99 but Play sell it for £17.99 on UMD. Will the fact that there is no physical media and game booklet mean a reduced price and will pricing be competitive?
Will PSN be the only place to get downloadable games, i.e. will Play, Amazon etc sell them too?
Can you pre-order downloadable games to take advantage of special deals (like the GTPSP voucher for an exclusive car)
Can I backup or store my games somewhere so that I don't have to have all of them on my PSP? i.e. I might want to make some space for video and music and temporarily remove some games?
What about "older" games, I can buy titles for less than a tenner in Game but will I always have to pay full price for the downloadable equivalent?
I need answers to these before I can put some money down.
Also, don't forget guys, the PSPgo isn't a replacement for the PSP3000, it's a deluxe alternative
Well I think its all horse's for course's. I myself can't wai for the PSP-GO. I have an import PSP from when it was 1st released in the states. I think its a great system, but I dont really play it coz of the size, weight and the fact I have to carry around a few games too, just a pain in a backside. I cant wait to have a smaller, much lighter system that I can have a load of the game I want on it ready to. As someone posted above, I dont use my PSP or mobile phone for music (like I know a lot of people do), I have my ipod for that. To have GTA, FIFA, SOCOM, Resistance etc just sitting there for me without game swapping or extra pouches etc, roll on Oct 2nd for me.
Much nicer looking system too IMO.

I WOULD SAY YES, BUT PLAY ETC WILL SELL THE PRE-PAY CARDS.

NOT SURE, YOU COULD JUST BUY A FLASH MEMORY CARD AND HAVE THAT FOR YOUR MOVIES ONLY, SO YOU COULD HAVE A COUPLE OF FLASH CARDS WITH A LOAD OF GAMES AND OR MOVIES ON THEM.

IT WILL STOP YOU TRADING GAMES, BUT THEN IF THEY COME UP WITH A SCHEME THAT ALLOWS YOU TO EXCHANGE YOUR UMD TITLES FOR DOWNLOADABLE VERSION, THEN YOU MAY STILL BE ABLE TO BUY THE CHEAPER PRE-OWNED UMD AND GET IT SWAPPED FOR THE DOWNLOADABLE ONE. YOU NEVER KNOW, NOBODY DOES COZ SONY HAVE YET TO CONFIRM WHAT THE SCORE IS WITH THAT. ANYONE SAY'S OTHERWISE, ARE JUST GUESSING.

I may get one but I hate the black versions (first was black but not had a black one since as they are finger print magnets)
Will not get a Go until they release the Silver in the UK, unless someone can prove to me that the thing is not going to look like it has been smothered in grease within half an hour of owning it (and that is even with washing hands before holding it)
Hands + shiny black = untidy looking equipment.
Look at the finish on the PS2, it did not look bad at all and you could never see any finger prints on that, the black Go should be the same finish as the PS2.
Can we confirm what colours are coming to the UK, if it is only Black (which will mean SCEE are really giving Europe a raw deal yet again) then they are going to fall flat. Look at the DS..the number of black sold to the other colours was quite low...people like variety, especially when the black looks so dirty so quickly.
Also at the moment the PS store is selling new PSP games for about £25 (Resistance Retribution for instance) In the shops on release I bought the special edition for £19.99 so for £5 less I got a booklet, a disk, a set of postcards and a box) With digital distribution the possiblity of "Sales" and "Special Offers" is practically none existant.
Unless they sell new games for about £10 - £15 I think they are going to have trouble shifting them.
Looking at it to start;
- PSP Go costs less to manufacture due to the removal of the UMD drive, it costs twice as much as the 3000 with no benefit other than bluetooth and sliding screen (the screen is actually smaller)
- Digital downloads cost more for less (no box or hard copy etc)
- Those without internet access or with slow internet access will only ever be able to buy the 3000 as they cannot download GB worth of information
I don't mean to sound negative (although I know I do) but Sony need to have something up their sleeves for this to work...It would have made more sense for them to say new games will be released on 2GB MS duo micro for same price as UMD games. Box + Instructions + MS duo micro game (With space to save on) = Success for shops and also consumers and therefore Sony.

sorry if this sounds like a daft question but its been bugging me for ages
i just want to know if the psp go will be able to use go!cam and go!explore
That aint a daft question, but the answer is no
the slots that the current accessories use (Go!Cam/Explore included) use the USB and the screw sockets at the top of the console
The Go! only has a slot at the bottom, which is for the stand. The stand, just like the PS3 headset, will have a USB socket for USB Data transfer, and a charging socket, but not the screws which are used for current accessories.
To be honest though, naming the PSP as PSP Go! would lead someone to believe that the Go!Accessories will work on it, but i dont think Sony thought of that. Unless they change the design slightly to incorporate USB/screws at the top of the console, which i dont think they will
Wow - Sony are pure geniuses. They've developed a portable device which plays games, music and video; it connects to a store using WiFi; and it uses software to manage the device's content. Why didn't anyone think of this before?… 
I'll stick with the perfect integration of my iPod touch and iTunes, thanks… with my Mac!
It's a lovely looking device but Sony will have to make the software for Macintosh for me to even consider it.
