As much as I want(ed) the camera, it's only something like 1.5mp unless they made a whole new one, doubt it though

@PR0F3TA
They actually did make a whole new one.
It's only 0.3mp now.

If you go to the Amazon page linked above and look at pictures, you'll see that it is the PSP-450, which is the lesser of the two.

@linebeginstoblur wow, thats almost as bad as the new ipod touch. I love seeing how japanese phones have 12MP cameras in them and cost barely anything and for some reason we can't even get 1MP in something we pay $200-$300 for.

Seriously? Man your cellphone camera is probably better than the new Go!Cam and much less expensive...

UMD vs PSN PSP i wouldn't know the exact ratio but it definitely wouldn't worth buying a PSP Go for, how many games have come out since the PSP Go has been released that are available on PSN, not a lot

So your telling me that more than 25% of the games that came out on the PSP UMD were released on PSN. I'm not talking PSP Mini's or PSN games only but actual games that were released on UMD were also released on the PSN....I doubt it

There may be a lot of games on the PSN but it's still missing a ton of the ones people actually wanna play. I'm STILL waiting for Crisis Core to be released... and I know I'm not the only one at Sony/Square Enix/Disney's throat for keeping Birth by Sleep from being on there (seriously one of the dumbest decisions ever... one of the most popular franchises and you aren't going to make it available to those who bought your newest system??)

Sony and Square Enix are separate companies, so no, the PSP is not Square Enix's console, it's Sony's.

Correct but I believe it was stated by Sony that it's up to the company(ie Square Enix) to put the games in motion for PSN not Sony.

I really only want the camera, just so that I can have a camera on my PSP.

The older Japanese camera (Chotto Shot) is better than this one, but that one is difficult to obtain.

what's the point of the camera to the games?

@KISYUYEKI In a nutshell, it's an augmented reality game, like "Eye of Judgment" in which you battle Pokemonesque creatures on your desk and find them all over your home and wherever you go. You do all that using the camera.

You use the camera to take pictures of things in the real world and that somehow translates into making invizimals for you to collect Pokemon-style. It actually sounds like a pretty cool concept and I hope more PSP games use the camera.

As far as I know, this bundle is the only way to get the camera in the U.S. so far.

Actually, you use the camera as a detector to search your environment for the Invizimals, which are found by seeking out surfaces of specific colors. Then, once the creatures are revealed, you have to capture them (in real-time, while keeping them in your field of view as they move around) through assorted means, like scaring them with your voice or smacking them with your hand. The interactivity is pretty immersive, and impressive. There is no picture-taking except for an interaction mode with Invizimals you have already caught; the game allows screen caps, so you can get pictures of the creatures doing stuff in the real world.

Come on Sony, Camera attachments are so 2005! They should have just updated the psp and put one inside it...

I'm really glad I bought that 250 dollar GO so I can NOT be able to play games like this without making it into a Moon Pie.

Seriously, does anyone want my GO? I can't even sell it at Play N Trade... they don't want them.

I bought japanese version of the camera from amazon like over 2 years ago. The quality isn't that bad under the right light, since it doesn't have flash.

Is funny how most of the bundles don't involve the pspgo.

The color looks cool, but i'm more interested in the camera.
