Future PSP GO owners get ready…

According to Sony a majority of PSP titles will be available via the Playstation Store by October first.  Since the PSP Go has no UMD Drive this has been a general concern.  The other concern is how to we get our library of UMD titles on our PSP Go is we do upgrade?  From what we have heard is that Sony will be putting together some type of “good will program” to get us a digital copy of our UMD owned games.  What this program is yet we are not sure but as soon as the news hits, we will publish it!

Good news indeed!

According to Sony this is a minor update to improve system stability. Use the network update of your PSP to go and get it.

If you saw the new iPhone announcement today during WWDC you probably thought “Gee, I can’t wait to get one”. Well, don’t get to excited just yet. I used the pre-order tool from Apple to determine how it would cost me to upgrade.  Here is how much a new iPhone 3G$ will cost me…

This phone is going to have the slowest conversion rate ever!   I don’t care how great they are I am not paying $599 for one.

I am sure people signing up for a new AT&T plan will be able to get these at the price point mentioned during WWDC; $199 for 16GB.  Even if I pay full price I am not going to get MMS Messaging or tethering.  We still have to wait for those and when AT&T is ready to allow tethering I am sure we will all have to pay more money for that functionality.

Last year was a better deal.  If you had the original iPhone you could upgrade.  Apple and AT&T would sell more iPhone 3G$ with the same deal.  I would be fine extending my AT&T contract for another two years this way.  I understand that people who purchased the original iPhone paid a premium to get their hands on new technology, I was one of them.  Then a year later I upgraded.  The new iPhone is nice and does have some updated features but I no longer feel that this is new tech that should have a new tech premium attached to it.  Early adopters always pay a premium…

My 2 cents…

It looks like Resident Evil is on its way to the Playstation Portable platform.  Not much detail is available yet but according to the Capcom-Unity Blog its going to be a different game custom built for the PSP Platform.
