Despite a lukewarm release, the Sony PSP Go is starting to steadily grow in popularity throughout the gaming community. The handheld does represent a brave leap forward in gaming, and it seems many consumers weren't quite ready to embrace the exclusively download-based handheld. However, with a host of upcoming PSP Go accessories to look forward to, all this should be put right.

Firstly, and to make the PSP Go more attractive to a wider audience, Sony are producing a wide range of alternate colour shells for the device. Unlike other handhelds, which offer a small selection of colours, Sony plan to create a vast range of colours and have been conducting online surveys to discover which hues would be most popular. These upcoming PSP Go accessories will help to push the device out there with more stylish gamers.

One aspect of both the PSP and PSP Go which has always been popular is the ability to link the device to a TV screen and play the games on the big screen. However, the transfer of a small image to the big screen does take its toll a little on the picture quality. Therefore, one of the highly anticipated upcoming PSP Go accessories is the gold plated video cable. This gold plating offers optimal video and audio output, giving a clearer and crisper display.

Finally, and probably most promising, is the news that renowned hardware company Logitech may be producing an external UMD drive for the PSP Go. One of the biggest gripes with this device is that existing PSP owners cant use their UMDs with it. Therefore, Sony would likely benefit greatly if such a peripheral was created. Of all the upcoming PSP Go accessories, this would be the one which could propel the device into the favourites.
