PSP™ General Discussion

[Tom218]

I personally think that this the best design Sony could have gone for. Regrettably the original shape was to big for portable gaming. I hope that the prices of digital games are governed fairly with that of umds. Case and point Resistance is 9.99 on play.com whereas on the ps store its £25 They seriously need to lower the price of the console to under £200 .

2 Questions if you will:

1) Does Media Go work on a Mac?

2) Is the PSP Go still over £200?

I'm more and more interested in this the more we see..  The design just seems a lot more compact and easier to carry around, etc.  But again, price.  £230 is not reasonable, it's not even worth considering at that.  The original was launched at £180, that would at least be reasonable, but that's still more than a 60gb Xbox 360.

£150-160 and then we'll talk.

Not buying, too expensive, I don't know why it's so expensive as it should be cheaper with the removed parts (16gb of flash memory doesn't cost that much, and the remioval of the UMD drive would make up for it anyway)



I'm sticking with my PSP Fat, I'm gonna buy one of those extended battery kits on eBay, as this has the same battery even though it should last longer due to no UMD spinning, smaller screen etc

If you can bring yourself to do it, you could install Windows using either Boot Camp or Parallels / VMWare, then it should work on a Mac.  I have Parallels (an Intel Mac is required) and it works pretty well, dunno how good USB support is as I haven't tried it yet.

According to the Media Go web page it is only for Windows XP or Vista, there is no mention of Mac OS X, although strangely enough it does require Apple Quicktime.

i must ask this, what would happen to us with UMD's. are we SOL? or will you find some way in your hearts to help us out.

i have my UMD's for my games i like in their cases (I.e. Ape escape, prinny: can i really be the hero, Archer Maclean's Mercury), and my sis is getting my old PSP and she wants the UMD's i have, so what will happen? will i have to rebuy em, or will you do what i heard, and do a charity thing for em?

The media GO looks really impressive, a lot better than the media manager right now.

slow down people what if ur memory is all on ur psp only and u buy 5 games for $70 and ur psp go breaks. now u bought a new psp go now do u have to pay another $70? i think yes now think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[WinterSnowblind]

No, it works the same as it does on the PS3, you can transfer the liscences of your games to other systems, up to 5 times.  So unless you go through 5 PSP's, you're fine.
