PSP Go unboxing in video and pictures
by Randy Nelson 
{ Sep 19th 2009 at 12:15AM } 
So, we of course got the unboxing on video (and in pictures below) but there was one stipulation: We can't actually say anything about the final hardware until a week from Monday, so you'll just have to enjoy the schweet tunes we picked for your aural enjoyment as the unboxing (and our vocal silence) unfolds.

The video doesnt work....fix it! P.S. I love you joystiq
Frostblade10 @ Sep 23rd 2009 1:50PM
Look at me, i downrate people for pointing out problems with the video and for praising the site.
Look at me, i'm an asshole!
Dont worry, I didn't downrate you. :D

buying this is almost as bad as buying avatar clothes
MystileArmor @ Sep 19th 2009 12:28AM
You're an idiot.
Avatar clothes are worthless, in the sense that it's just a pointless something you can purchase for appearance sake.
This thing plays games, some of 'm you'll own as physical media and transfer and some of them pure downloads. If that's your kind of thing, why not?
It's not my kind of thing either, since I'd like to own all my games as a tangible thing, but if someone travels alot, doesn't want to physically carry around all their games, then why not?
Can't really say I'm surprised though, with a username like "iluvmyzune", only little girls spell "luv' the way you do and you've already have "got Microsofts proverbial balls all in my mouth" all written over it.

oh snap.. i'll be surprised to see him again after that massacre

Joystiq...
Drink less Caffeine, *sHaKe tHe PsP gO a LiTtLe mOrE* next video.
Cal @ Sep 23rd 2009 11:18PM
well they still haven't said anything about transfering UMDs yet have they?
Residentevil72501 (PSN: rankore) @ Sep 19th 2009 12:21AM
Now it works /hug joystiq.
Ahmed @ Sep 19th 2009 12:28AM
Man, you had the jitters!
Space @ Sep 19th 2009 12:40AM
I feel for you Randy, I have shaky hands too. I can't eat in front of my friends without one of them opening their stupid mouths for the 3412359879087th time
Martin @ Sep 19th 2009 8:05AM
Me too. Let's unite!
BoofuTheMoose @ Sep 21st 2009 10:37PM
Shaky hand Ultimate Alliance!
DeepFriedSushi @ Sep 19th 2009 12:29AM
randy how come you're shaking so much?
IannCannon (XBL&Steam: ianncannon. PSN: Iann Cannon) @ Sep 19th 2009 1:30AM
I think he was quivering with anticipation for the AMAZING launch the PSP GO is gonna have. Or maybe he was cold. Probably cold.
Randy Nelson @ Sep 19th 2009 1:48AM
I just noticed it, too. :P
I actually hadn't eaten all day and had just *hiked* uphill to Engadget's SF office to shoot the video. I've eaten now and am once again "Smoove Hands Randy."
Dan @ Sep 23rd 2009 5:06PM
It's actually his cousin, Michael J. Nelson... *booo!*
Jacksons @ Sep 19th 2009 12:30AM
It's a nice box, I'll give it that.
skyzbig @ Sep 19th 2009 12:30AM
Wow...that box looks well small!
[ArchiGamer] @ Sep 19th 2009 12:31AM
I would buy this if it was 1) cheaper and 2) be able to download pass titles for a minimal price or nothing at all.
But a man can a dream...
Special Agent Steve @ Sep 19th 2009 12:46AM
I would buy this... no I wouldn't. I would trade this in for my current PSP 2000- that's it.
Once the new gameboy hits this thing will become obsolete.
derickw69 @ Sep 19th 2009 12:32AM
cool video but kinda short :(
1up.com has a longer more thorough unboxing video if anyone is interested. Still not getting one though.
mooseinabox @ Sep 19th 2009 12:32AM
was it just me or were you shaking like hell? nice unboxing, i really want one!
TomCo @ Sep 19th 2009 11:01AM
I bought a first gen PSP a few months ago, cost me 60 euro.
Pandora battery and Photofast card cost 10.
I love playing original playstation games, and the 16Gb of cheap micro sd memory certainly helps in this regard.
TomCo @ Sep 19th 2009 11:02AM
Damn comment system.
DesertPyrate @ Sep 19th 2009 12:40AM
Well, it seems to me the PSP Go was suppose to be the rumored PSP Phone but something went wrong and Sony just released this instead. Its smaller, has bluetooth and an internal hard disk, a mic, a slider panel for the controls, yep looks like a phone! Heck looks a lot like the Sony Mylo. I'll hold out for a Playstation Phone. Its kinda sad though, I got a PSP on launch day and held onto it for about two years and it literally collected dust due to lack of decent original games and expensive memory, then I sell the thing on Ebay and it gets re released and the games get a bit better and memory stick duos go down in price but this just doesnt do it for me, its too pricey for a do over, kinda how Apple resales the iPhone with little enhancements and people make a big fuss like its reinventing the wheel, perhaps I'll hit ebay and buy a cheap PSP Slim instead?
ChuckBartowski @ Sep 19th 2009 12:46AM
your waaaaayyy better off just buying a slim. 100 bucks cheaper and it has physical games. 50 dollar more here and you could have a ps3....
Residentevil72501 (PSN: rankore) @ Sep 19th 2009 12:55AM
The Playstation phone is the Sony Ericsson Ainio or whatever it comes out this year. It doesnt play games but it streams all your media off your PS3 from anywhere in the world.
Meghterb @ Sep 19th 2009 12:46AM
Nice video. Too bad I bought a light PSP 2 months ago, not to mention that I already have an old PSP. I`m still thinking about getting this but having 3 PSPs is kinda ... weird?
Apollo @ Sep 19th 2009 12:55AM
All the shaking got me scared for some reason. o_0!
Markez @ Sep 19th 2009 12:56AM
You're an asshole.
That is all.
No Kill Tayler @ Sep 19th 2009 12:58AM
When you say that you can't say, does that mean your hiding something we don't know about?
I'm thinking too much.
But if there is, I called it.
Anthony @ Sep 19th 2009 1:01AM
overpriced and ugly.
Jocaju @ Sep 19th 2009 7:29AM
Considering that you are an Nintendo and Xbox fan, your statement it's no surprise.
Anthony @ Sep 19th 2009 11:44AM
@Jocaju No. As a matter of fact I just purchased a ps3 slim, and love it. as well as my 2000 which is a far superior psp. hands down. Don't speak without thinking next time. Ass.
johnnynumber5 @ Sep 19th 2009 3:39PM
Well I think it's damn sexy. This video makes me want one even more and I have a PSP 3000!
Deadpool @ Sep 19th 2009 1:05AM
What was the name of the music playing?
War Machine @ Sep 19th 2009 11:54AM
I'm with him on this one. Who plays that song? What's the song's name?
Marco @ Sep 21st 2009 5:47PM

Reuben @ Sep 19th 2009 1:16AM
Real poor taste, man.
chrisredfield31 @ Sep 19th 2009 1:17AM
when he said there was gonna be some soothing music I thought he meant rock or something and it actually turned out to be soothing rofl
ChuckBartowski @ Sep 19th 2009 1:24AM
I was just about to ask whether you had gotten a stick up your ass that morning before posting that or was Kanye West posting for you?
Shimrra @ Sep 19th 2009 1:29AM
HOLY SHIT for a second it looks like a Boomer from Left4Dead is unboxing the PSPgo.
SpiderMike @ Sep 19th 2009 1:49AM

"Welcome to Jazz Club.................NICE"
That is all.
Traceur_Ryuk (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Sep 19th 2009 1:50AM
I don't get it. Can someone fill me in....
iTzDaKroniK @ Sep 19th 2009 1:56AM
I know I'm going to get downvoted but id much rather pay an extra 50 dollars and just get a 32GB iPhone.
Eggy @ Sep 19th 2009 4:21AM
Good luck playing PSP games on that thing.
mooseinabox @ Sep 19th 2009 11:12AM
yeah, but you're also locked into a contract on a shitty network provider. and have getting one on eBay, maybe it'll cost you $600 minimum. but if you're talking about a 32Gb iPod touch, then it goes to preference.
iTzDaKroniK @ Sep 19th 2009 3:05PM
I already have AT&T plan and all i got to do is just switch, and there is no game on the PSP that i want.
Hedgeson @ Sep 20th 2009 1:23PM
If you are not at all interested in ANY PSP... how does this post even concern you?
That's like someone without an XBox posting on XBox exclusive games they don't like...
iTzDaKroniK @ Sep 20th 2009 4:43PM
I was interested in the PSP go VERY much but for that price forget it, ill buy Chains of Olympus and borrow the cousins PSP 3000.
