News Downloadable PSP Titles Will Average At Around 700MB

There was one announcement we were anticipating from Sony during their PSP Go unveiling at E3 this year
We didn't think it would be a focus, just a quick aside, but we expected it all the same. Trophies on PSP. Seems like Joystiq expected it too, but they were told it's flat-out not happening when they asked. The interviewee, Eric Lempel - director...
News Take A Look At The Wealth Of PSP Go Accessories
We'll get this out of the way straight up - the PSP Go doesn't have a standard mini-USB adapter so that means if you already had peripherals with your PSP-3000, they'll no longer work

E3 2009 A Higher-Resolution Shot Of The New PSP Go
It's been a long afternoon, feels like weeks since we broke the news of the new PSP design
But we've had confirmation and here it is in higher resolution. Honestly, we like the look of the top-half of the system, but hate the placement of the "Start" and "Select" buttons. The analogue stick's placement looks like it could make...
