What can you expect more from PSPgo?



PSPgo is here with lukewarm sales. Indeed Sony should improve its support on PSPgo. So what could improve PSPgo? Here are the wish lists: 

1. UMD transfer to digital.
Since PSPgo don't have UMD drive to play UMD games, Sony once promised that it will find a solution to its UMD transfer problem. Alas, right now the plan has been put on hold because of piracy and legality issues. Well, we still waiting on this one though.
 
2. Up to date PS store games library. 
PS store is updated every week with bunch of games for PSP. However certain games are available in UMD format, but nowhere to be seen in PS store. Now, that's not fair.


3. Cheaper games on PSPgo?
Being digital download only, no UMD or packaging involved, less distribution cost, the games should be cheaper, no? Well, it should! However, since Sony is afraid that cheaper games on PSPgo might threaten retail stores, the price on digital download is more or less the same! Well Sony, if you dare to launch PSPgo, please take some responsibility to those who has faith in your product.  


4. Comics from Playstation Store
One of the feature that might soon be available is that you wil be able to read digital version of paper comics on your PSP. Sony has partnered with Marvel, IDW, iVerse, and others to give you an array of digital comics, once a firmware update this Dec launches.

5. Video ratings guide
Some people will not care about this feature, but for parents it will be different story. The guide will gives an ratings whether it is ESRB for games, or MPAA for film. Older PSP might get this feature via update in the future.

6. Game rental
Though there is absolutely no confirmation from Sony about this one, however if you go to your game information (with firmware 6.0), there is a information about expire time limit of the game.
It could be for future game rental on PS store and Sony has mentioned a monthy fee based PSP games rental service at the Game Developers Conference earlier this year. Rental service will be a terrific idea. Personally, I do want to try a few games without commiting to buy it because I afraid that I might find it uninteresting later.
