I'm with you Chris. LBP is the one game that me, my son and my daughter all play together. I was going to use this as an excuse to get two new PSP's for the family. Oh well, so much for that idea. I still think I'll have a lot of fun playing it though, and it will be a little easier on the budget!

Anyone notice that there is no remote in that list of accessories. One of my frustrations about the lack of a touch screen is that you can't access the xmb with the slider closed to change music or movie tracks, fast forward etc. They better have a bluetooth remote or something in the works, having to open the slider everytime you want to skip a track or scene makes this a sub-par multimedia device.

*sigh* Probably not, but I'll wait to see if they release any information about new features like maybe the ability to use it as a PS3 controller since it has bluetooth.

I need a new PSP (my 1000 is close to dead), and I was hoping to get the Go, but at this point my 8gb stick is more than enough, so I see no point in spending an extra $100 for a system that is slightly smaller and...nothing else.

Plus, I think it's annoying they didn't include touch screen controls, that means you have to slide open the thing every time you want to switch music or movie albums. Unnecessary. I would have paid $300 if it had a touch screen.

Again, I'm hoping Sony has some very good unannounced features on the Go, if not it looks like I'll be getting a 3000.

I'm psyched about this, and will buy one release week, and pass my old PSP onto my son.

Just a couple thoughts:

These rumors keep saying no touchscreen. But if the system is a slider as the rumors keep saying how will users navigate the XMB without sliding out the d-pad. Seems like a mistake to me. A touchscreen would make this a much more usable media player.

The rumors also keep saying it won't have a second analog nub because they don't want to alianate old PSP users. Why would it have to? When the DualShock first came out for PSone there were a lot of new games that supported both control schemes. Why can't they do that now with new games?

Neither of these is a deal breaker for me though, which is probably what they are counting on.

Bring on the UMD-less PSP sony. I'm ready to buy it first day and pass on my PSP Phat to my son.

I use remote play for videos and sometimes music. For games the lag is just too bad, I've tried it a handful of times, but unless it's Bejewled where you don't care about timing, it just doesn't work.
Maybe on the PSP-4000/PSP2...whatever it will be.

I take back my comment from last week about feeling forgotten as a PSP fan. It's a good thing I'm getting a new job soon.
