PSP Go!Cam - Image 1The PSP Go!Cam, which has been launched in Europe, is now headed for the Middle East.

This handy dandy little portable camera for your Playstation Portable will have its own Go!Edit software available for download at www.yourpsp.com to edit on the go. Featuring its own microphone and 180-degree rotating lens, this little baby can store up to 40,000 images and about 2 1/2 hours of video (with the right Memory Stick.) This 1.3 megapixel camera will be a fine addition to the PSP lover's gear.

No news yet if it's going to head for the U.S. though, funny enough.

by - 2007-07-03 23:01:02
SONY

why can't you just release the camera in all the countries at once?

Go CAM :-(

Forget about the GO CAM - When is the GPS coming to the USA?!?!? Any news on that AT ALL???
by - 2007-07-03 23:17:11
FOOLS!

IMPORTING CHOTTO SHOT NOW! can't wait for the us release, cause it'll probalby never happen.

Retarded

Who hired the guy in charge of the NA division of Sony? Probably from EA games...since thats where all retards come from.
by - 2007-07-04 00:10:42
*****e

its *****e anyway, they could ahve done better than 1.3 megapixels, it's out here in the u.k. right now for £30, what a rip off.
by - 2007-07-04 00:18:31
Hmm

I think part of the reason this isn't coming to US soon is because its only a 1.3 mega pixle cam. Most Americans have at least a 3 mega pixle. So I'm betting thats the reason for it, its because most Americans would find it kinda cheesey.
by - 2007-07-04 00:26:56
LOL...

You too?!
by - 2007-07-04 00:27:06
umm

you make no sence, Ea is not part a of sony at all
by - 2007-07-04 00:29:46
but...

there is an icon for the camera on the us version of the firmware. that means it IS coming to the us. i just dont know why it is not released for all countries (at the same time).

If sony wants to make money....

I dont know what Sony is thinking... I dont have any stats or anything, but im willing to bet there are more individuals with a PSP in the states than the middle east... release it in the US.. more people will buy it, more money for SONY.... and then they can use that money to start mass producing the GPS and then release that everywhere, and hence.... MORE MONEY FOR SONY!!!! If they were smart, they would have released it already!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want the GPS , but any accesories for the pSp are a dream :)
by - 2007-07-04 01:20:46
WTF

How *****ed up is Sony when they pretty much give insurgents (not saying all the Mid East is terrorists, I just mean we know there's plenty there) an option to have non-imported PSP cams before the U.S.?! This is bull*****.
by - 2007-07-04 01:23:37
1.3 megapixel is garbage

could have been way better and its a sony product? Sony is known for making good hardware because its a hardware company.... 1.3 megapixel garbage
by - 2007-07-04 01:30:10
ROFL!

u dumass
by - 2007-07-04 01:36:23
This sucks

I've been waiting for the camera since it was announced. It pisses me off that Japan got it before us, then Europe, and now the middle east, and there's still no announcement on when we will get ours? that really sucks. I mean come on man, the US is where the psp is making most of its money off of, why are we left out?

skies

now you know how Australia feels 90% of the time
by - 2007-07-04 02:51:11
great

STFU AVELLIN with your insurgents nonsense!
by - 2007-07-04 03:17:33
Xeno

this is also how Europe feels most of the time, remember how long it took for the PSP to show up in Europe !!!, you got the Iphone elready we'll have to wait 5 months !!, but it will probably be a better version :LOL
by - 2007-07-04 04:17:47
Buy it off eBay

I saw quite a few of them on there and it says it works for ALL psp's.
by Wicked_Insider - 2007-07-04 05:33:29
SONY hates...

Americans Thats exactly why everybody else gets one first and we are left hanging dry with nothing to show for. I don't care if it's 1.3 megapixel, first thing I'd do is hack the cam to accept a better internal 3 mp cam.

Jews are all the same. Know one, know all

I bet Avellin is a goddamn jew. Thatßs why he rants about them
by cory1492 - 2007-07-04 06:46:42
Funny thing is...

The chotto shot I have far outperforms my 3MP camera... though the 3MP isn't exactly top of the line it was easily 8x the cost of importing the chotto.
by - 2007-07-04 08:01:52
the middle east

the places where they are likely to sell (sell the most) will be in the UAE where Dubai is, i've lived there for half my life in Dubai and there are no "insurgents" "terrorists" it is a very rich city with all kinds of people there
by - 2007-07-04 08:06:22
lol

wasn't it a while back that us Europeans were saying the same to you about not getting the ps3 lool
by - 2007-07-04 08:32:56
Yep

PS3 was too overpriced to be worth it at it's release if you ask me. Only now, with the release of the next to useless iPhone, has it become worth it. The iPhone is packed with features, yes, but seriously why are going to show it to people? Because you managed to get one. If you use all its features that's grand, but I bet it'd be easier on a laptop then on something as small as the iPhone.
by - 2007-07-04 08:32:57
what if..

k guys wat if where getting it last because sony is gonna make improvements when releasing it it out in the U.S, we can only hope right?? maybe they're trying to release it with a higher megapixle camera?? any wyas i cant wait for the north american release!!!
by - 2007-07-04 08:48:07
LOLLLLLLL

I bought this ***** since like 5 months ago (chotto shot) and i live in MONTREAL loooollll i bought it from the internet and it was like 50 $ , oh and the program Go Edit is comming with the chotto shot on the box
by - 2007-07-04 09:10:26
hmmm...

I really want the gps in the US... the cam with the 1.3 isn't good for me.. even my cellphone is 2.0 but want the new cybershot just when I hang out to not carry a bulky camera...
by - 2007-07-04 09:56:16
LOL

My cellphone which cost me 49.99 with no contract has a 1.3 megapixel camera and the cellphone is very portable (very small). Also my cellphone can take videos :)
by - 2007-07-04 10:00:33
???

Most europeans have 7.2 megapixel cameras or higher and japanese people I don't wanna even imagine (12.8?). US is way behind. I know this cause when I went to Europe we were the only one with a crappy 4.1 megapixel camera and all those europeans and chinese people with their high tech camaeras... Anyways this product targets the psp fanboys, everyone who's smart knows you can get a cellphone with 1.3 megapixel camera for 50 dollars without contract...
by - 2007-07-04 10:02:51
@ Avellin

Cause they prefer a country of insurgents than a country of hillbillies and red necks...
by - 2007-07-04 10:07:38
LOL

I'm from Pakistan but this is 100% worthless, 1.3 megapixels? This camera is like from the mid 90's... My camera which I bought 2 years ago is a 12.7 cybershot camera. Beleive me that this won't sell in the middle east, this is old crap 1.3 mp that noone would use...
by - 2007-07-04 10:50:02
GPS

yeah, what about the GPS!? we might actually get some use out of that if it ever actually came out it in the US!
by - 2007-07-04 11:19:35
but this is 100% worthless,

No it's not. I have one, it's very handy.
by - 2007-07-04 11:51:30
no

that would cost sony too much to upgrade the camera and change things, the rest of the world would be mad if the US got a 7MP camera for $50, so no. Just buy it now, and give a japanese vendor or european vendor money instead of waiting for the american release, and giving your money to wal-mart or something.
by - 2007-07-04 12:07:34
Aww

USA - Don't feel bad, look at the UK's PSP site on the PSP. It's not been updated since January! All the demos (Yeah all 4 of them!) still require 3.02/3.03 firmware! And for the record, I have an 8MP camera, so I wont be getting one. Probably at least.
by - 2007-07-04 14:48:18
yea

i actually just came back from isreal, and 2 days before i left, the BUG store ( sort of like eb games ) got the !go camera in stock. my cousains friend works there so i got a special price, 74 bucks, which is still kinda expensive... reg price was near 100 bucks ( 389 sheckles )
by - 2007-07-04 15:36:10
Hmmm

I think you people need to stop complaining and making fuss about this. Go read a book or something!
by - 2007-07-04 15:39:24
?

Why go through all the trouble? Why not put the camera inside the PSP itself, or put a PSP inside a camera?
by - 2007-07-04 15:41:15
:)

Yup i agree, for 500 bucks id rather buy a smart phone with internet.
by - 2007-07-04 20:25:24
.

well since all you americans are complaining that the camera is so usless, why would sony want to sell it to you guys anyway
by - 2007-07-05 01:41:57
to avellin, patriotsky etc.

Why must every comments section resort to racism? WHY??!!
by - 2007-07-05 18:35:00
IT IS BECAUSE

YOU ARE BLACK.
by - 2007-07-05 23:33:03
yeah middle east

yeah dubai = tons of rich kids ... believe me i know one ... her and her rich friends and thier bmw's and porshe's
by - 2007-07-15 07:36:16
chotto shot is still useful at 1.3MP

bought the chotto shot via an importer out of Los Angeles... have taken some wonderful pictures w/my PSP, and it's nice to have the accessory even if not used that often (handy when traveling as a backup cam)... surprised that YouTube and PSP fans haven't picked up on the utility of this little device... but i can certainly understand the frustration for some consumers... it's slightly maddening that Sony would have the Camera function menu in it's U.S. region PSPs, but not make the camera available on the market! Sony NA must be run by a bunch of idiots... repeat after me: DRM IS EVIL DRM IS EVIL DRM IS EVIL DRM IS EVIL DRM IS EVIL DRM IS EVIL
by - 2007-07-18 06:34:35
Its com ing to australia now Myers selling it for $79
