forget about umd's a sec: GO vs 3000

okay so whenever people are asked which is the better system they always say the 3000 is better because the GO can not play umd's. so lets forget the umd's a sec say someone wanted to use the psp to watch movies, listen to music and look at photos (i know get an ipod but we're speaking hypotheticaly). purely based on the hardware what would you say is better the go or 3000?

Slide devices don't last that long.

If you don't want to use it to play games, then the 3000 does EVERYTHING that the Go does and costs significantly less.Senor_Kami

Wait... if we omit UMDs the 3000 has no games WTF how does this comparison work?Fightingfan

That's a pretty silly thing to omit, though. What kind of conclusion would we reach, anyway - if we remove the most significant feature of the 3000 then finally the Go can be deemed superior? It would be like Sony releasing a Blu-ray-less PS3 at a higher price point than the Slim and then ignoring the fact that it's been crippled.DJ_Lae

Well imagine that it came with a whole bunch of memory and all movies and games would be downloadable. C'mon, Its waaaay more convient to electronically own things than physically. Most of us have electronic mail, money, and music. The less physical stuff the less chance of it deteriorating.

not many people are able to keep track of old games. i have no idea what happened to all my super nes and nes games.

honestly I like the feel of the psp3000 better. the psp go is just too compact . and the volume controls are not as easy to operate as the psp3000.

oh and dont forget that memorysticks for the psp3000 are more common and cheaper to buy used (i bought an 8gb used for $20 at gamecrazy, u wont see a deal like that for the pspgo expansion slot). the pspgo uses a new memory type, that is more expensive (if you run out of space that is).

Yeah I have my old games too but its cool to have all your games ready to be played at the click of a button.

I second this.

i like my GO a lot more then any of my other models. I like the gamesaves and the bluetooth. Also I can always have my entire music library along with a few tv shows, movies, and half a dozen full games, and half a dozen minis all at once. I consider it the richmans or adult psp. So all you little kids fiddling with your umd's can keep the 3000

forget the umd's a sec

This is absurd. Stripping the PSP1/2/3k of its best feature to make the PSP Go superior... or maybe not, with the $249 price tag.

Obviously, the 3001 PSP is the best handheld system for large hands like mine. Plus I do not like the smaller screen on the Go. :roll:

Bafel

I have large hands and I like the controls on the Go better. The screen isn't that much smaller.

Based on the conditions you state. Then a PSP Go will work fine for Movies/Music/Photo's But the PSP brower will still Blow even on the Slick looking PSP Go. Just get the iPhone touch/ipad

If you forget about price issues and UMD, the PSP Go's design is superior. Yes, it is. It is sleeker, smaller and does not scream "I'm a gaming device" if you're in a professional setting. It even has bluetooth and lets you put in a PS3 controller.

In some senses, it was the right direction for the PSP to go in, ie. for PSP2 -- but the blunders on pricing and UMDs are huge and simply not overlookable.

from your question you say ignoring games right?

I still say 3000 since the only feature GO have over 3000 is bluetooth and smaller
3000 size isn't even remotley a problem for me and the prize diffrent is SO bigg.
I dunno exakly how the save state thing works but don't sound that great outside games
I also think 3000 battery is better (correct me if I am wrong)
