The PSPgo is the fourth entry in the PlayStation portable line and debuted October 1, 2009. It is considerably more toteable than its predecessors, with a slick form factor that resembles a slider phone. Measuring in at 5 x 0. 7 inches (closed) the PSPgo is about half the size of the original PSP. PSPgo is attractively compact. To access the controls, the bottom section slides forward with a smooth but firm mechanism that seems sturdy enough to resist clumsy gamer hands. The whole console weighs just over one pound so it may feel like it's going to fall apart under heavy gaming but Sony has promised otherwise. It's small but comfortable, even for those of us cursed with large hands: it's just wide enough for the index fingers to curl around the body of the PSPgo while your thumbs fall into prime button-mashing position without feeling cramped. The face buttons are a little bit thinner and more responsive, and the analog nub is recessed into the console's casing, giving you much tighter control than with earlier PSPs. PSPgo is the first dedicated gaming handheld to fully address the demand for an all-digital entertainment device. |
