Im wondering if i should even get a psp because i play World of Warcraft (really addicting). And if i should PSP Go or PSP 3000? I want to be able to quickly just play a game for like 30 min and then slip it into my pocket and i like the feature on the PSP Go where u can pause the game and go do other stuff and i think you can turn it off im not sure. What do you think?

If you've never had a PSP before (i.e, don't have any UMDs), and you also have a wireless router connected to the internet, then the PSPGo is pretty good. UMDs bought from stores cannot be used with the Go, so you have to get all games off the PlayStation store (which is accessed thru the PSP, thru the wireless internet). The PSP 3000 has a bigger screen, and does everything the PSPGo does, as well as being able to play UMDs. That's not to say the Go is inferior (well, IMO it is), as it is apparently more ergonomic, and the screen gets tucked away so it doesn't get scratched. Either one would be fine, but my personal recommendation is the 3000. This is the last time I am making a recommendation of this kind, as it is a total waste of my time. :roll:

Bluetooth is just another cool way to shorten battery life. I do love using it...wait no I don't. I never have need too. But you point is taken, the go and the 3000 do have their differences but in terms of gaming they do not.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is a great game (that sounds like what you are thinking) but it is NOT an MMO (though it does have multiplayer). Go vs. the 3000...

That pretty much sums it up...

I went with the 3000 because I wanted Sit Meier's Pirates, and that wasn't on PSN. If you like the compact look and feel of the Go, then get a GO

You got me there, but in theory it's not a large improvement.

For some it isn't but for others it is. I use it a lot, having a wireless headset is really awesome.

Yeah, a PSP GO is probably the better choice, as long as you can handle the pricetag.
