Psp Go to have Logitech External Umd Drive Accessory [Rumor]
December 3rd, 2009
A source has told video game news site CVG that Logitech is currently working on “a UMD drive add-on” for the PSP Go. Commence laughing.
A representative of Logitech’s UK office told CVG that they’re not aware of any such product, so “… it may be something the US office is working on.” If this UMD drive does come out, let’s hope that Logitech (or Sony) includes software that can rip UMDs so that people can transfer their UMD-based games to the PSP Go’s memory. Either that or sell it dirt cheap. Otherwise this is a slap in the face of everyone who bought a PSP Go.
If and when this device is released and all it does it play UMDs, it will be an implicit admission that the PSP Go is a crippled and expensive joke of a device. You know Sony, if you really want to go backasswards, you’d be better off bringing back PS2 software emulation on the PS3.

PS2 software emulation is so 2008. I want my PS2 on a chip emulation back. At least I still have a launch day PS3 that actually still plays PS2 games
You lucky man! I never owned a PS2, but right now I just can’t see myself shelling out money for that. But I really really really want to play Persona 3 & 4. Arrrrrggggh!
I don’t see why this would be a bad idea. I can see how it would be good for people who “upgraded” their old PSP to the PSPGo, and don’t want to buy the same games again. The ripping would be a huge benefit, but wouldn’t that be more of a software issue on the PSP rather than a hardware concern??
This would be gr8 for people who own psp and pspgo both now they can run older games on psp go.

The only reason I want the Psp Go is to ditch the UMD Drive. (not to say the awesome design and other cool new features I like.)
Long ass loading times, crappy disk drive for the Umds, carrying around those disks etc.
Plus I never owned a PSP 1000-2000 or 3000.
BUT say if I found a great deal on a used Psp Game (UMD) I could use this to transfer it to digital content to my PSP Go HD.
I easily get addicted to PSP games and i am always updated with the newest PSP games in town.,*~
