External UMD Drive for PSP Go: Good idea?
KaiserWAVE:
This is just a wild guess now...but if Logitech is actually working on an add-on UMD drive for the PSPgo then I'd say it's meant to be used to copy UMDs to a Memory Stick in your PSPgo.
In my eyes the PSPgo's main appeal is that it's pretty small. Not much bigger than a cell phone. The fact that you don't have to change discs and can have multiple games on one Memory Stick comes second.
I can't imagine that the PSPgo's target audience would actually consider adding an extra UMD drive to it when they're "on the road".
The way I understand it (although, again, this is just my guess) it's meant to provide the possibility of copying your existing or future game collection to a flash memory to put in your PSPgo.

That does make sense and would be great if thats what is planned. Problem is Sony is so scared of piracy they want to do anything possible to try and thwart it. Having the external drive copy your games over to the flash memory would open the doors for possible piracy. I hope you're right, as that would possibly sway me to get a PSPGO, but I don't see it happening.
