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.

You know, just like how they revived the DualShock...

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.

It's what real men do.
Gotta put an engine on my Christmas tree though.

If you put an engine on your Christmas tree, you shall be a god among men, sir! *tips invisible hat*

You see a man in a propeller plane (for lack of an aeronautical education), and you say, "Meh."
But you see a man who put a god damn engine on a glider, and you're like, "That man has balls. Two and a half, to be exact."
It's all about style man, and with an invisible hat you should know a wee bit more eh?
And this entire time I've been imagining hang gliders, not gliders as wikipedia shows :/

...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!
@Ryuuenjin: There are electric organs, steam organs, and even flame organs... but now I want to make a supercharged V8 organ! (Like a spleen?)

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.

Its actually missing the fat?
Thats jsut a rip off, do Watchdog not know about this, why do consumers not scream from the hills.
How can Walls even get away with this.

In the meantime, I'm glad I have so few UMDs. :p

Sooo when is the switch to games being totally digital going to happen?

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.

I obviously wanted a PSPGo more than a punch in the gut from Mike Tyson, since I have one and not the other.

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.

So, not only do I have to pay to buy the game and the cards, I have to pay for the expansion to use the cards I've bought. Someone didn't think that through ... it's no wonder it died.

Anyway. I'd love a Magic:tG-type card game on the PSP. If they do it right, I'll be all over it - it should suit my increasingly compulsive nature. :)
12/02/09
I probably should think twice, I doubt I'd have time to play it and/or it will be mediocre. But I just know I won't. :(
12/02/09
It's been dirt cheap for a while so there's not much of risk should you decide to check it out.
12/02/09
I've been looking for a good card game on a portable (it's probably not something I'd want to play on a PS3/360/Wii).
OK, after watching a couple of gameplay videos, it looks like it could be right up my alley. And yes, it's cheap anyway.
Thanks again.
