It's obviously a test to see if the digital format can succeed. Sony has already said the Go won't replace the current PSP's on the market. Hell, they didn't even need to spend much on design since it uses almost the same mold as the mylo.
Sony could have done so much more with this chance but has instead built a piece of crap. The slider design is totally impractical unless it is utilized correctly. Had they used a decent sized screen I would be on the slider bandwagon in order to make the package more compact and portable. But the Go took a screen DOWNGRADE... Not only that but they STILL haven't used dual thumb stick nub things, whatever you want to call them. The ps1 controller eventually had 2 thumb sticks. The ps2 had it, the ps3 has it. Why the hell on Sony's 4th model on the psp have they still not added it?!
The other problem with the swing into digital and non-physical formats is the fact that companies are so obsessed with DRM that it f's over the consumer. How inclined are you going to be to buy the Go if you have a huge collection of UMD's and no way to play them on the Go without having to re-buy them in their non-physical format from Sony? And you have to keep the regular consumer in mind because most owners of PSP's probably have no knowledge of the whole homebrew scene, and out of the box the Go won't support ISO's anyway.
