In Sony press-only booth, there was a area reserved for showing off the various accessories that will be available for PSP Go when it hits US shelves on October 1. There were cases, wrist straps, Sony-branded screen protectors etc… But since the handheld doesn’t have a standard mini USB port like the PSP-3000. PSP GO! owners will have to buy all new accessories!

The PSP Go has a new multifunction port on its base  that is used for everything from data transfer to charging to video output. Also there is the fact that the new accessories  are more expensive than existing accessories  ,such as component A/V cables, voice headsets. Let’s not even take into consideration the numerous third-party add-ons, or Sony’s own GPS module. Hmm maybe Sony  should think things over…
