PSP Go goes well with black and… white 

October saw the release of Sony’s new PSP, the flash-memory PSP Go, which removable battery, like its games, are not… removable. The 16 and 32GB internal flash memory has replaced the UMD drive which means games are loaded onto the console instead of being plugged in. All games are available for download at the PlayStation Store online only.  

The nifty new device, a whole 16 percent lighter and 35 percent smaller than the previous version, maintains the oblong shape while hiding the controls beneath the sliding screen, like Sony’s mylo COM-2 internet device.  

While the the nifty new PSP is, well…  nifty, it’s choice of colours is remarkably unexciting. Currently only available in a choice of black or white, the PSP Go is calling on Sony for some special consideration to release it in an array of colours. A survey is being conducted by Hall & Partners Europe among Sony users and loyal fans to determine which colour they’d best like to see their new device sport.  

Possible choices include sports car red, camo green, coral, burgundy, navy grey and ocean blue for the seafaring and retina-scorching turquoise. Perhaps a rainbow combination of colours will get the Japanese more interested in the console to boost sales in the East.
