PSP go----7 changes you need to know

2009-10-05T02:39:00.001-07:00

It is go time, PSP "go" your net word. The fans of PSP have different opinions with the considerable difference with PSP go. While we will have a review with the changes of PSP go. You should know exactly what you`re getting and whether you`re buying a PSP go.

1. The appearance of PSP go

The PSP Go is 16% lighter and 35% smaller than the PSP-3000. Downsizing however doesn't mean diminished gaming as the PSP Go's 3.8" TFT LCD screen slides up to reveal all the usual in-game PSP control suspects. It features 16 GB of built-in storage and is designed for the “on the go digital consumer”.

2. The removal of the UMD slot

One of the bigger changes between the PSP Go and “regular” PSP-3000 is the deletion of Sony’s UMD player from the Go device. Users will be encouraged download content from Sony’s on-line store instead of paying for UMD disks.

3. Nongaming apps

Sony will also be selling bigger-budget downloadable games (UMD) and for those titles we recommend transferring the data directly off your PC or your PS3 rather than using the Wi-Fi connection on your PSP. Users can download software off of the PlayStation Store directly to their PSP Go (it's got built-in Wi-Fi) or transfer data from their PC or PlayStation 3 via USB, and needn`t convert the game anymore.

4. Media Go software

Included with the PSP Go you get a Media Go software, this Media Go software lets you convert videos to PSP go and can Convert DVD to PSP go device as well. It is means you can convert your media for free. The software acts as a mediator (think iTunes for an iPod) between your PC and PSP Go.

5. Fans of PSP go

As a user of PSP go, who will accustomed to the network, and has become the main users of the service (PSN). This will promoting the development of Web services. PSP go is not conflict with other PSP, and it`ll not replace other PSP.

“Go” can understand as put the PSP users around the world “enter” the network and become friends with each other.

6. Bluetooth

New to the PSP Go is Bluetooth which allows gamers to pair up stereo Bluetooth headsets with the PSP Go. This also allows the Go to perform several other nifty tricks such as pairing up with a PS3 controller. Bluetooth feature does not only apply the data transmission, it can copy the computer files, and listen your music with a Bluetooth headset too.

7. game of PSP go

As far as games, the 225 available on launch day will include PSOne Classics (like the videos, these were playable on older PSP models if you transferred them from a PS3), Playstation Network originals such as Echochrome, and several of the PSP's previously-released UMD games such as God of War: Chains of Olympus, Daxter, and Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny.

For owners of existing heavier and bulky PSP 1000 and 3000's, the PSP Go is probably going to be the upgrade they've been waiting for. For gamers with a Nintendo, iPhone or iPod Touch, the decider to buying the PSP GO will probably come down to the range, quality and desirability of the games available for the PSP Go.

Digital music sales to increase heavily by 2013, says firm

2008-12-02T19:03:00.000-08:00

According to a new report from Forrester Research, digital music sales currently account for just over 18 percent of the US music market but that figure should grow exponentially to about 41 percent by 2013.

The report, "U.S. Music Forecast, 2008 to 2013" also expects that 55 percent of US online consumers will pay to download at least one track in 2013.

Forrester did say however that digital music growth will not compensate for the steep decline in CD sales and that the total market will shrink to under $10 billion USD in 5 years. At its peak, in 1999, the market totaled $14 billion.

Perhaps more notably, the report found that digital music consumers are moving as much as 60 percent of their music budgets to digital and away from CDs and other physical media.
