PSP Weekend Warrior: The PSP Go saga continues
The PSP Go remains a hot item this week. Nasayers still think it’s going to fall flat on its non-face. Sony, for their part, is busy touting it as a success, throwing out some impressive — yet ultimately still unsubstantiated — sales numbers. While the “go or no go” tug of war is happening, unscrupulous types are capitalizing on the new handheld by releasing their own thinly-veiled knock off version. All that and more in the PSP Weekend Warrior.
