PSP Weekend Warrior: Of the fate of UMD and the “real” PSP Go

Even with E3 in full swing, we still managed to get some non-E3 updates on the new PSP Go hardware this week, headed by an unmasking of the “real” PSP Go. Sony has also let the gaming world in on their plans for UMD games that people may want to play on the new PSP model, but it’s still just a rather vague statement as they’re still putting the plan together. Until they finalize and announce this, I think there will be quite a few PSP owners who’ll put off buying the Go. Read on for the rest of this week’s PSP Weekend Warrior.

You may have already noticed that all of the console-specific Weekend Warriors this week don’t have any E3 2009 news in them. This one’s no exception. We’re saving all the E3 news for another special feature we’re putting up later today, so check that out too.
