Uncool. Expensive. That's what Apple thinks of the PSP. That may well be, but thanks to TGS we heard a lot of good -- and frankly, some really bad -- news for the Sony handheld. The good news is that there are free games in store for those upgrading to the PSP Go. The bad news is that you won't be able to play your sizable collection of UMD games if you trade in your UM drive-equipped PSP just to have enough money for that darn Go.

Sucks, right? At least all the games we heard about in the past seven days are still going to end up being playable on older PSPs. Read on for all the action in the PSP Weekend Warrior.
