3.0 out of 5 stars Can't live without it (if you lose the original), January 11, 2010

This review is from: PSPgo USB Cable (Accessory)

Unlike, say, the PSP-3000, the PSP Go needs a proprietary cable - this one. It has the standard USB-A at one end but Sony came up with the multi-use data/charger connector at the other end where a USB MINI-B would be expected. Of course, a standard USB connector would be as capable of 'multi-use' (charge and data transfer) as the Sony proprietary connection but then a standard cable couldn't be sold at a premium.

If you lose the original cable that came with the Go, this item would be the recommended replacement or you may want to get one preemptively, as a backup.

To make it short, Sony's cable is guaranteed to work with the Go and it can be had for this premium price but there are lower price alternatives out there - just make sure that you order from a reputable vendor.

You need it, and a pc, to charge the psp go. Not sure if the wall charger has come out yet. I hope so. You also need it to download games, tv shows, themes, photos and movies onto the psp go.

Be warned does not charge in USB DC Charger or laptop, I scrambled at airport last minute to buy an A/C USB adapter and that cured the problem. Very easy to use and convinient. disappointed about not being able to use in car
