hey guys john r Ettinger here and i want to give you a walkthrough of the PlayStation Store on the new PSP go this is UMD less and it's got no physical optical drive so the only way to really get new content onto it it's either to put it on manually from your computer or to download it via Wi-Fi from the PlayStation Store so the success of this new PSP is really dependent on how good the PlayStation Store is so I'll give you some opinions as I walk you through it but let's go ahead and get started so here is the PlayStation Store we'll go ahead and launch it up and for those you that have a PlayStation 3 this is going to look very familiar to you so you can walk through and it's broken down into a few categories right now wearing games there's a video section as well which I'll show you a little bit later it's sectioned by new releases downloads PSone classics PSP add-ons demos media themes and view all so you can get brand new PSP games from here on out all games are released for the PSP will be released in two formats digital and with UMD suppose you that don't know um DS those little weird sort of medias looking things that shipped with older versions of the PSP so there are a ton of new releases that are available so let's go ahead and take a look at one of them for example here is Gran Turismo and right now if I want to buy grant threes mode will cost me $39.99 and the way billing works need to set up an account and it automatically charges you it's a pretty seamless process actually fills you that have used the PlayStation 3's PlayStation Network it works in much the same way so this is 937 megabytes and I've got a relatively fast Wi-Fi connection here and I will tell you that to download a 900 megabyte file it's going to take you about 25 minutes once you download that you're not in the clear you actually have to install it as well and to install that's going to take you about another 10 minutes so it's from no game to a new full game you're looking at probably anywhere from a 30 to 40 minute process nothing that's that but it's something that you need to be aware of so you can view some pictures of the game you can sort of learn more about it let's go back and check out some of the other new releases that they have here and there really is a relatively full catalog that launches with the PSP go which is quite nice you can see that there are over 126 games that are right here and some of them range in price from $1.99 all the way up to $40 and the price for the new release games are generally the same price as what they would be for the UMD version on the older PS PS now if you download a game when your PSP crashes Soniya saying that they will be a way for you to get the game back on your new device so just because you're only a digital content you still are owning something something to keep in mind let's go back and keep walking so use all the new releases or the ton of games you can download and we're going to go back to downloaded games and that's going to show you sort of what you've what you downloaded and here we've got downloadable games and these is really a list of all the games that you can download new releases PSP add-ons and a ton of other content it's broken up really nicely and pretty easy to navigate we got PSone classics these are games that were playable on obviously the ps1 and then a ton of good ps1 games here you know I didn't have a ps1 definitely a lot of these games that I was a fan of so here's blood omen here's Castlevania and these games generally run about 6 bucks you can see these here are $5.99 and I do like how they tell you the size of it so you can anticipate how long your download time is going to be this one here is 335 megabytes I can say that's probably going to take me about 12 minutes to download something nice to keep in mind and all the downloads go to the 16 gigabytes of internal storage although after the OS is on top of that you're only going to get about 14 gigs you can also take advantage of the expandable memory port on the side and put into these much memory as you'd like but for now 16 gigs seems to be quite enough there are also PSP add-ons and these are sort of using Xbox you know what the Avatar add-ons are these are just sort of additions to to the game sort of an extra level or two but give maybe your character a green hat there's nothing really that big here but if you're into add-ons they are here you've also got demos which is a really cool feature for a mobile device so I can actually go through and download demos of new games I want to try that's a feature that I really like on the Xbox and the ps3 take a look at there you can see demos from some of the new games so if I want to say maybe play NBA ten and go ahead and get the demo of that game as well there's a rock band and go ahead and download the demo of that there really are a lot of demos and a lot of the new release games have demos for the PSP so you can give them a whirl before you want to buy them and I think that's going to be a huge success for the PSP imagine sort of sitting in bed downloading the demo reel if you like the game and you can actually buy it right on your device you don't have to get up and go anywhere which is either a great thing if you're a little bit lazy or nice to you know convenience from a convenient standpoint let's go ahead and keep navigating through here here's media this you can view movies and TV shows that you have but we'll get to the video side later this right here is more a game related media themes and wallpapers got what you'd expect themes and wallpapers and you can view all now one of the really cool things I think about the PSP go is in addition to being a fantastic game device it also has a really solid video library so you go to the top and go over to video I think look at some of the video content that we have here I've got movies TV shows top TV episodes and rent and you can actually rent movies right onto your device let's check out some of the new releases we'll do new release movies it's either quite a ton year so here's x-men origins Wolverine that one was just released on DVD and blu-ray so you can rent it either in the SD version which is really the only way to to rent it on here if you do it online so via the ps3 you can get an HD version but here it's only standard definition and it's 399 - rent for most movies you have to cart and you're good to go but keep in mind the size is a big deal this is one thousand seven hundred and forty five megabytes so that's going to take you quite a long time to download just something to keep in mind so we'll go back so some more movies non-si all new releases but a ton of movies we've got TV shows so here's Hiro's actually a big fan of Heroes so I can download actually full seasons and watch them right on the PSP it's also broken down by top movie downloads top TV episodes and you can actually buy these as well if you'd like so you can you can own some movies although there's actually much more to rent I think then there is to own at least right now and as a PSP go sort of build an audience and Sony can gauge what people are looking for this store is only going to grow this is just sort of a quick overview of what you get with the PSP go and what the PlayStation Store looks like overall I'm extremely impressed with it it's quick its elegant easy to navigate and things download considering you're getting a full game over-the-air sort of fast the install time was a bit of a surprise I would expect them to automatically be installed and they were downloaded but that's not the case if you are debating between the PSP go or the PSP 3000 difference is going to come to whether or not you want to own the actual disc or not for me I like having the smaller form factor and I like to be able to debilitate to download things just remotely right to the device so it's really going to come down to a matter of personal preference and certainly both these have a different look and feel this with a slide on mechanism down below and the psp-3000 has the more traditional PSP design so guys hope you enjoy it is going to be a ton of more PSP go content so be sure to stay tuned to the channel for that for exclusive content check me out on twitter twitter.com slash John for Lakers and
