PSP Go More Capable Than Originally Expected?
See Full ImageWhile we're not big tech guys - as far as I'm concerned, these things could run on magic, and I wouldn't care - we can understand numbers. As in, which one is higher than the other.
According to Sony Insider, the PSP Go may be more powerful than we initially believed. The article turns your attention to recently filed FCC documents that outline the sleek new PSP; these documents list the processor speed as 480MHz. ...well, this is in stark contrast to the earlier announced 333MHz. It's more than possible that the unit will be locked at the latter speed, but if we remember our history, the original PSP-1000 was locked at 222MHz, but firmware update 3.50 allowed developers to have access to the maximum 333MHz. So even if the PSP Go hits store shelves with the estimated 333MHz, we can likely expect an update to release the full power of its FCC-rated 480MHz, which should come as good news to prospective owners. If you're wondering what kind of difference the enhanced processor speed can make, ask anyone who has owned a PSP from the time of its inception: after the upgrade to 333MHz, the lighting was better, the overall picture was better, and in general, it just made for a better portable experience.
We'd like to think that a new PSP would certainly be more capable; it's only logical. The only question now is, when might they unlock the system's full potential...?

i cant believe how freaking expensive those things are.
on ebay atleast.
a friend of mine just got back from the US today, he bought a 3GS 16GB for 400 USD.
then i have a look on ebay and there going for 1200 USD.
WTF i thought ebay was supose to be cheaper not more expensive.
god dam it i should of asked him to get me one, i dident know he got his so cheap.
but why are they so expensive i mean its faster so what.
because its faster your going to pay a extra 400 bucks?
i picked up my 3G one 2 months ago on a optus prepaid for 700 bucks.
and when they announced the 3GS apple said it was going to cost less than the 3G.
400 bucks extra because the CPU is faster youve gota be nuts.
