    Man. I really thought this game looked good. I'd been following it for some time, even showing off trailers and art work to friends hoping to get their interest. What a shame.

    I still use my PSP-1000, and it still works like the day i bought it back in 2005 other than a busted Disc Door (i have to open it manually) and its starting to get a little bit of burn in on the center of the screen.

    But if this become's reality, i MIGHT buy a go then........

    So after paying the $250, you can pay more and get what would amount to a 3000 series with less battery life?

    Uh...

    And if this can play hard copies, Logitech would be handing people a means to freely pirate, because we all know someone will have it cracked within hours. What's worse then PSP piracy now? Making it even more accessible.

    This would murder DLC sales if cracked too, because no one sane is gonna pay those prices when they could go pick up the hard copy, rip it and then sell it.

    @Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: How exactly would a UMD port allow for more piracy? Hacking is done through the MemoryStick ports and batteries, not UMD.

    I do not believe that with Sony's firmware, this would be technically possible. At the very best, Logitech could license encryption hashes from Sony and make a unit that can rip a UMD to the stick, but I very highly doubt that would happen...

    @PlasmaGlory: They absolutely could - Sony could make an update that streams info from a USB UMD reader. It seems extremely unlikely they would though, especially for a third party.

    I just mean that with PSP firmware as it is now, no amount of genius technical skill will make an external UMD drive work unless Sony wants it to. Hackers could also write a firmware plugin for it since the firmware is so awesomely modular and extensible under the hood, but then we wouldn't be talking about a consumer product from a licensed company anymore.

    So, this guy invents the jet engine and shows it to his friend ... and his friend goes, "Wow, what a radical change from prop planes... you should sell that, and once they're being made I'll sell a package that adds propellers back to the planes!"

    @jayntampa: Would be a nice analogy if the Go supported all PSP games, which it does not. :( I don't see this being enough to get people to upgrade to PSP Go, at least if it forces you to have the UMD and add-on with you at all times to play those disc games.

    @WhiteSkyRising: You're right... I need to think farther outside the box - why buy a plane with an engine, OR add an engine to a glider? I'd fly a glider and put an engine on my PARACHUTE!

    ...which in the PSP analogy would uh... mean that um... I don't know - that I'd make my PSP case read UMDs? But if I saw someone with a PSP Go with a UMD reader, I'd think "more money than sense!" more than I would if it were just a Go... certainly no style...

    Putting an engine on a hang glider? Now that's manly... maybe not as manly as jet engines on a wingsuit, but still impressive!

    I'm willing to bet that the add-on will be expensive enough to dissuade people who haven't already purchased a PSPGo from purchasing both the PSPGo as well as the adapter together, negating the value that it could have to interested parties that fall into that category.

    PSPGo owners might fall all over themselves for this solution, though. I mean, even if it's expensive (and Logitech could totally get away with charging an arm and a leg for it, given the price of the PSPGo), it's the thought that counts, especially in this case, where a third-party jumps all over a solution that probably should've been addressed by the hardware manufacturer.

    Kudos Logitech.

    P.S. Your circular D-Pad beats the stuffing out of Sony's D-buttons.

    @Omnimon: The iPhone and iPod touch are the one thing, aside from PCs, doing well with the all digital model.

    But the iPhone and iPod touch are two things still in very high demand. People want the PSPgo about as much as a punch in the gut from Mike Tyson.

    Little Big Planet on the PSP not getting a digital release at the same times as the tangible copy wasn't too helpful either. If they want this to really happen it needs to be backed, fully, by more than just a few forward thinking fellows that spend a lot of time in nice chairs.

    @Friedhamster: it may be a slight backwards move but if we cant play media and games for the psp on the PSPgo, few are going to upgrade and abandon a library they have built. I would prefer sony give us some sort of voucher for UMDs... though with piracy and dishonesty being such a common trend i don't foresee sony doing anything of the kind anytime soon. This is a decent compromise, and if the rumor proves to be true i will likely upgrade.

    @Eoja: The problem with the PSPgo is that it seemed, at least to me, to want to be the new PSP. To replace all the past PSP's. That the PSPgo would be the PSP. That was a mistake.

    By releasing a system that can't play what games PSP-1000--though---PSP-3000 owners have they sort of shot themselves (Sony that is) in the foot, and hand, ... and face.

    The problem was that it wanted to do two things without being able to do one of those things. It was supposed to be, at least as I took it, to be the gateway to the digital market while allowing us to play past PSP games, only digital.

    I think what Sony should have done is still release the PSPgo but not have called it a PSP at all. Call it something else and don't worry about releasing every PSP game that comes out digitally. Do something new, cater to a completely different audience, and don't try to please two when you're going to fail.

    Had the PSPgo been called the, ah, DMDgo (digital media device?) then we wouldn't have had this issue. Call it the DMDgo and release games for the DMDgo as a seperate platform. Sure, maybe, sometimes, a game on the PSP-3000 gets a digital release on the DMDgo as well, but it won't be in direct combat with the PSP-3000 if it's something else.

    I see the same problem with the DSi right now when it isn't selling as well as Nintendo seems to have hoped it would. The DSi and DS-lite are too similar.

    If Sony really wants to try and back this digital idea we need to see something that is 100% backed, no more half assed crap. Speaking of "half assed" how's Home doing for you Sony? Oh, right, that isn't a priority for you these days.

    We need to see things that are priorities, no more bang-wagon hijacking.
