PSP Go: Confirmed!!

With E3 just around the corner, rumors of upcoming titles, systems and handhelds have flooded the internet, leaving gamers roaring for confirmations! Well one thing that VANTAGE can confirm for you guys is the upcoming PSP Go.

The PSP Go is the evolution of the Sony PSP, which sports a brand new look, and is packed with loads of new features! Features like a sliding screen that hides the buttons and UMD drive, 16GB of internal memory, bluetooth, and many more. 

More titles have also been rumored to be released for this handheld. Titles like Kojima's new Metal Gear installment, Little Big Planet, and Gran Turismo.

Here are a few more pics:

I'm definitely loving Sony's new sleek design for this handheld. I definitely wouldn't mind owning one of these if I were to base my purchase on hardware alone. But  let's admit it, the first generation PSP also looked cool as hell, but it failed to make sales and generate cash for Sony. Nintendo's DS was definitely king in the handheld wars. My advice to Sony, make sure that they release some big name titles if you guys wanna sell this. I mean, it looks great,the features sound promising, but nobody's gonna buy this if there aren't any games to play. Metal Gear, Little Big Planet, and Gran Turismo is definitely a step in the right direction. Now let's keep the games coming! 

Oh and another thing, one tip I wanna share with you guys, don't buy one right away. Sony is definitely gonna release a variety of colors, so be patient. I'm definitely holding out for a white or red one!

Sony's PSP In New Carnival Colors!!

Sony has recently announced that they will be releasing their popular handheld, the Sony PSP in new carnival colors! Although, I'm not sure new colors can save this losing battle for the PSP. I think that some new features or functions would've been better.

Anyhoo, beginning Mach 5th, colors like Radiant Red, Vibrant Blue, Bright Yellow, and Spirited Green will be made available in Japan. They are said to come alone for about 19800 yen (regular price for a PSP) or with a matching wrist strap/case and a 4gb memory stick for about 24800 yen (about $280.00).

Like I said, I believe that new colors isn't the answer for Sony. I've recently been to Japan, and believe me when I say that a huge chunk of the people walking around with handhelds are walking around with the Nintendo DS. I can't say for sure why, but my guess is that, maybe bacause the DS really has more to offer, functionality wise that is! But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Nintendo has recently released a limited edition Mario DS this past Friday. This DS will basically come in a bright Mario red with the "M" logo on its face.

I don't currently own a DS, and I probably never will. BUT, if I were to grab one, I would definitely grab the Mario edition! It looks really cool, and I love the fact that it's a Mario edition.

New Nintendo DS With Camera & Music Playback

"This Is So Going In My Blog,"

Rumor has it that Nintendo will modifying their current Nintendo DS, and giving this handheld a camera feature, music playback, and mor epowerful wireless. The camera will probably be incorporated into their games to add something new to your gaming fun. Who knows what Nintendo has up their sleeves this time around.

This will most likely be released in Japan before anywhere else overseas. Repeorts are saying that it'll probably go for about 20,000 yen. The current DS goes for about 16,000 yen. It's also expected to be released around April or May of next year.

I was never really a fan of the DS. I opted for the Sony PSP instead. So I was really surprised when I heard that the Nintendo DS was highly popular in the States. Now that their adding a camera and music playback, the DS doesn't so bad to me anymore. Now that I think about it, this new DS might actually come in handy! I guess we'll have to wait and see for more updates, so stay tuned!

"True Story"

New "Nintendo DS" Rumor

"This Is So going In My Blog,"

rumors have surfaced about Nintendo developing their followup to the successful handheld, "Nintendo DS." People were skeptical at first, but now sources say that this second generation handheld should be making its debut around April or May.

Sources also say that the new Ds will not only be incorporating the touch functionality on both screens, but as well as widescreen ratio. Hard to say whether or not Nintendo will ome out with a brand new design, but we shall soon find out. If Nintendo were to debut the handheld, it would probably be during the Tokyo Game Show which runs tfrom Oct. 9-12. So stay tuned!

I never really had the DS cuz I decided to go for the Sony PSP. But I've learned that the DS had outsold the PSP in sales. Damn. I never really expected that cuz the PSP was just so cool to me, Hehehe! But anyways, Nintendo is always coming out with somehting innovative, so I wouldn;t be surprised if this DS outsells its competitors again!
