unless the PSP-Go has hardware modifications as in more RAM to run the OS or a faster processor, the in game XMB should be possible on the PSP 2000/3000.

"The new portable should still make your pockets bulge a bit, but since you'll be emptying those pockets in buying one of those, there will probably be more room down there."



I lqtm'd.

Not interesting. It is too small. NO THANKS! PSP 1001 and 2001 rocks!



I will wait for PSP2 in the future.

It is fully possible on the 2000/3000. The same way IRShell can multitask applications by forcing them to load into the last 32MiB of RAM.



The problem with the XMB is that if it detects its running on a 2000/3000 then it tries to allocate more than 32MiB for itself (which isn't available in-game). If the XMB was forced to think it was running on a Phat, then it would only allocate less than 24MiB and it could be force to load along side a game on the 2000/3000.

i approve

THere's just a few things holding me back from getting a go.



1 - $250 bones when my current PSP still works.



2 - 16gb would not be enough for my current collection, perhaps 16gb expansion would help... but I bet it wont be cheap.



I think it's smexy as hell... but I still have my PSP1000 and am just as happy with it as any other PSP i've used.

BT will also add the use of a/the PlayStation/any bluetooth headset for ingame voice/mic support. With having Duelshock support now with the video out we can play games at a distance to the tv, also with psx games well have full control again. and some game makers may add a controle option in there games for full Duelshock controllers while still having a psp based control options When the hacking community break it open we might have BT access for keyboards, GPS or any other BT devise.

I wouldn't mind using the PSP Go with a PS3 controller. Entering the XMB while playing a game is worthless unless you can listen to music or actually do other stuff while playing the game(which, just like the PS3, I'm sure it won't be able to.)



If you ask me. IRShell ftw. Switch to the IRShell interface to listen to music, open files, etc, all while still in the game. That way you can switch back and forth if you wanted. Listen to music while you read something on Bookr. IRShell is ahmazing.

This "new" psp is *****. too small of an area to press the button, no 2nd thumbstick (WTF!), ugly as *****, and why the hell would i want to use a controller on A PORTABLE SYSTEM!?!?! Back to the drawing board Sony, i'm never buying that with those specs. PSP GO? that name sounds lame as hell. GO? why GO? because Americans are "always on the go?" No epic failz. Sony i would hate you to end up like SEGA as you are my favorite console company now as i really hate XBL (from OLD Halo 2 days) and it really hasn't gotten any better. Think Sony. Sell us something we would want, not destroy.

all sucks

psp1000 ROCKS!

i will be wait for PSP2

WTF is this ***** all about???

Is this a freaking contest???

What company can shrink his handheld...to the best WTF..!

Whats next even smaller then GB..?? whats name again?? the smallest handheld I ever saw..from Nintendo..lol



screw those *****.. just come up with the new PSP already lol

where you could play two player games with the device and the controller..at least it should work that way for ps1, and hopefully soon ps2 games, that you download to the system.

that the game developers can add options to the games like a second analog stick and L2 R2 functions for people that can use a ps3 controller? that would be sweet!

why would you want to run ubuntu on a psp? that makes no sense? i can just imagine:



you: "hey guys i can run ubuntu on my psp!"



guys:"you're stupid"



back to the topic:



i dont really care for ds3 on psp. someone already mentioned, this is so supposed to be the ultimate portable video gaming device (pls take note: GAMING not run ubuntu device; god, iamshawdow youre a boner).

That defeats the purpose sitting at home playing it with a ps3 remote. when I bought my first psp I went everywhere with it. if they make games 4 the psp that u can play with ps3 remote then y don't they just make games 4 the ps3.

You will fill up 16 gigs fast....music, movies...and the big one all your games must go on there.



it would have been nice if they kept the pro-duo slot....as so many of us have bought tons of pro-duo cards.



I will probably get it, because my 1000 is getting old, and i'm sick of updating it all the time with custom firmware to keep up with features. I would like to have one that is legit and I can just click one thing like a newb to update it and not worry if remote play will work etc....

the psp was not created to run linux and was never advertised as a portable computer.



"that's the attitude I'd hear coming from someone stupid enough to say 'Official firmware updates help the security of my PSP, I only use official SONY updates'"



you lost me here. i have no idea what kind of point you are making.



"the 'gaming device' is proprietary BS made up by companies like Sony and Nintendo"



huh? of course a 'gaming device' is meant to play games that are made for a specific console or handheld. i don't understand how that is BS.



"a portable computer...that can run any form of Linux would be more useful than a device that just runs games and is considered nothing but a toy"



the usefulness of a is relative to the individual. if someone wants to just play psp games, listen to music, watch movies/porn, then the psp would satisfy with no problem. if someone wants to a personal portable computer (i think it's called a laptop) then the psp would not sufice and be useless in the respect.



DURDURDURDURDUR !

why in the hell is there wires behind the PSP NO?? isnt it hand held? and that thing cant be charging...if it is FAIL....sorry for 2 posts..

im glad you cant listen to music and play games at same time on ps3 , i find it annoying enough when ignorant people turn mics and and i have to hear them and people around them talk and breathe on the mic at same time,,can u imagine what it be like in Call of duty WaW lobby when u cant mute noone ?@!

so.. the ps3 controller use bluetooth.. i wonder if some neat mobile phone hacking tools will then get released
