PSP camera accessory not compatible with PSP Go

If you're planning to play Invizimals or EyePet but only have a PSP Go, then you're out of luck. Apparently the camera accessory Sony is readying for a North American release along with the aforementioned games is only compatible with pre-Go PSPs.

 

Posting in the comments section of the US PlayStation Blog, senior social media specialist Sid Shuman said, "No, the current camera will only fit onto the larger PSP-3000 model."  Further on down he added, "No workaround that I know — the camera was designed for the pre-go models only."

 

There's still hope for you Go owners, though, but only if you don't mind spending a little extra money. There's actually a PSP Go converter cable that's compatible with the camera, but it's only available in Japan.

It makes me wonder what they're smoking over at SCE HQ. I mean do they really hate their customers that much? Is there some kind of bet on how much they can get away with pissing off their customers? Some high up in the company will somehow make a fortune if the company goes bankrupt?

I mean seriously, what are they thinking? Let's make a new psp, but instead of actually making it next gen, let's just make it smaller so it can fit in your pocket. So far so good I guess. Now let's make it completely incompatible with all the previous psp's games and accessories so we can sell more of both. Some of our customers want to be able to transfer their umd games? Let's act like there will be a way, but then pull the rug out from under them when we release it. While we're at it, let's not bother putting all those old games on the psn so that we can, you know, actually sell them or something.

I used to love Sony, but they've changed. I'm sure the overall company isn't going to go bankrupt, but how much can the games division screw up before Sony kills it off? I'd say they've got monkeys making their decisions, but that's obviously not true: monkeys would do better!

It's a kiddy game, sure, but Invizimals looks like fun.

Invizimals IS fun, I've been playing it for a year or better and still haven't finished it. and it's kinda like yugioh in a way, advertised with little kids, but older kids still play it

You're a patient kiddo, that's a KIDs game, I've played it but got annoyed with moving around and the camera had to be on the exact spot or it wouldn't capture.

Is this going to be the original PSP-300 Go!Cam, or is it the 640x480 only invizimals model PSP-450?

well the game is actually pretty fun and the camera should have been released in NAmerica. "Santa" got 1 for my son and he hasn't stopped playing the game yet(7.5 months later). And he uses the camera to take videos and pictures of his fun days(he is 9).So why didn't Sony release it here yet , I dunno. The only trick with Invizimals is to make a sheet of paper with lots of different colors.My son wised up and made one because when you are in the back of a car on the way to school "Where would you get something yellow or green,etc...?".And its a second generation camera already PSP-450. Japan an Asia market been had it.
