If you ask this type of question on PSP forum, you're going to get a biased response. Do your own research by looking around on the web. It's not that hard. Compare the iphone/ipod touch apps and games/movies and stuff to what the Go will have to offer.

My 2 cents: If you want a good gaming hendheld, get a PSP 3000, not the Go. If you want an excellent multimedia handheld, get the ipod.

It depends on your priorities. If you mainly want music, then definitely get the iPod Touch. But if you want really good games get the PSP.

Zune HD. :P

In all seriousness though, I'd go with the PSP Go, mainly because if you want REAL games you'll be satisfied, and you can also add more memory to it too which is a big plus. I'm going for the PSP Go myself and I can't wait until the first. :)

Truly, get the PSP 3000, its better than the PSP go as on the 3000, we can download as well as play UMD games. The go also has a smaller screen than the 3000. The only advantage is bluetooth. The Go has bluetooth, the 3000 does not.

Save states. More portable. Better analog stick (placement and the stick itself). To the TC Are you looking for a real gaming machine or just something to pass the time? If you really want to play games, the iPod won't satisfy.

Both are different. If you want music, then you should get iPod. If you want games, then you should get PSP.

The reason those games do not work is because they were not bought with your account. Those games have a license file and it is tied to the original owners account, you would need his account details to play them. Basically you can only play games that you bought on your account.

Well I do appriciate the help and info. I will look into possibly contacting the original owner. I almost wish I wouldn't have connected this thing to the internet because I would still have $100 in games I could play. But what can you do I guess im the idiot. I do got gta wars on my other psp-2000 thank god. I mean its not like the original owner has much use for the games. Hopefully I can contact them and they can help. Thanks again all.

What should I get?

OR

-PSP GO

Franchize-24

This is coming from someone that just made the decision to buy a psp. (it's paid for, but I have to wait for the BBbundle to ship.)

I had the opportunity to buy either a psp or Iphone/touch 2g. I went with the Apple product. I figured it would be a better workout companion, would have the better music interface, and comparable games. A few months later I decided it is just too large for a portable music player. The interface is great, but the size and weight make it awkward for workout routines. I initially thought the games were pretty good. The Hot Shots golf knockoff is pretty good and only $2 now. Which is what made it appealing in the first place--cheap games. Since then, however, apple has upgraded the hardware, and the newer games don't run quite as nice as on the 3G/s models. So it's rather frustrating, and it's bound to happen again and again and again. Plus the games just feel like afterthoughts, imo. I still play peggle, but that's about it.

I have both and each has a strength. They both have fun games and a music/video player. But PSP is better for gaming, it has far better controls and a lot more hardcore games. The iTouch is better for managing and playing music and videos, plus some of the apps you can get are cool, but the touch screen limits gaming controls and games are not very in depth. It has some fun games, but PSP has better. It depends on the buyers wants and needs. Or like me, buy both. :)

ok i have owned both but i own a psp 2002, anyhow i sold my ipod touch because all i did was play music and browse the internet, i found it to be a waste of money, if you are just going to play music and browse the net, ipod is the best option, if you are after playing decent games go for the psp. the games on the ipod aren't that entertaining. it all depends on what you will be using it for, both are good for browsing the net but the ipod wins slightly, music: ipod, games: psp, utilities: ipod.

Considering the age of this thread I'm assuming you've got one of them now. Out of interest what did you get?

The answer to the query really depends on how you're going to use the device. If it's a pure gaming machine and you plan to sit and play fo r a long time then a PSP will probably server you better as the games are more detailed. The iPod has a variety of games but most are casual or designed for a short plays. On the flipside iPod games cost a couple of bucks each so you could probably get 15-20 iPod games for every one PSP game you buy

Personally I play my iPhone a bunch more than my PSP. Aside from Final Fantasy Games, God of War and a couple of others the PSP just doesn't have great titles IMO. My iPhone is smaller, is an awesome music media unit, and much better for quick games on the go (if I want to sit down and play a game for more than 20 minutes I use a console). That's me though, you choose one based on what you want it for.

Oh, and for all those saying that the iPhone has no real games, take a look at Chaos Rings. This is a decent RPG made by Square-Enix and comparable to other handheld console games. Developers are starting to develop more complex and detailed games for the iPhone...it'll never bea gaming console with it's current limitations but Chaos Rings sure proves what the unit is capable of doing!
