PSP Go, Portable Media Bliss with DRM Coal for Your Stocking

I thought… what would be better than giving my boy the smaller, portable offspring of the PS3 itself – PlayStation Portable. A crash course in PSP was a lesson in portable media and state of DRM.

Sony PSPgo Review - IGN

Since launching the first PlayStation Portable in 2005, Sony has taken a strictly incremental approach to design variation. It took the company nearly two years to introduce the first redesign with the PSP-2000 or PSP "Slim," and with it, only trimmed down the size of the unit. In 2008, the company tweaked the system again with the introduction of the PSP-3000, but otherwise, the PSP has only diversified in terms of color variations and limited edition bundles.

The PSP Go is the latest in the PlayStation Portable family. This mobile gaming device is smaller than its predecessors, and has a sliding design. It forgoes the UMD drive in favor of 16 GB of built-in memory. Jen Edwards brings us this review.
