Converter cable makes PSPgo fatter

We're just about ready to post our PSPgo review but we couldn't wait to share this accessory with you. This absolutely ridiculous-looking contraption is the Sony PSPgo Converter Cable Adapter, a device you'll need to buy for your PSPgo if you don't want all those PSP-1000 - 3000 accessories to become useless. That's right, almost all of the original PSP accessories will not work with the PSPgo.

Judging by the photo, we're not sure why this gadget needs to be mounted on the top and bottom of the PSPgo, and we can't imagine having a comfortable grip on the device when the screen is slid open.

We also agree with the Ars Technica blogger who pointed out that this basically negates the PSPgo's main attraction, its slim and sleek form factor. Of course, you'll be able to purchase all the new PSPgo accessories when they go on sale alongside the new handheld on October 1.

The PSPgo Converter Cable Adapter goes on sale in Japan on December 24 for around US$21. No word about availability in Asia yet, but we'll keep you in the loop.
