FCC documents originally believed to have revealed that the PSP Go had a 480MHz processor -- over 40% more
than the PSP (1000-3000) -- were actually talking about another part of
the device ... the USB. Sony Computer Entertainment has stated that
those extra megahertz are being used to clock the USB transfer and not the CPU.
When
the PSP first launched, did you suspect its games would ever look so

combat, tag-team scuffles. We're hopeful that Koei will have better

inevitable Warriors Orochi 3.
