PSP Weekend Warrior: Prinnies, piracy, and the PSP Go

Yes, the PSP Go is still making headlines. The problem is, the main one we heard this week wasn’t exactly flattering. The Go has been getting a mostly lukewarm reception since its launch earlier this month, and the trend continues in Australia. There’s a silver lining, though: overall PSP sales have reportedly gone up since the Go hit retail. Sony most probably have software sales to thank for that. Oh, and maybe the Go’s making people buy PSP-3000s. Just speculating. For the facts, hit the jump and check out this week’s PSP Weekend Warrior.
