Either 2000 or 3000.

The PSP Go doesn't have that many game titles on the PSN. A lot of 3rd party game devs aren't putting them up on the PSN. So you're better luck with a 2000 or a 3000.

PSP Go is UMD-Less, meaning there is no UMD drive. Games can only be downloaded via PSN. It comes with an internal 16 gig, but... not worth it for me. UMD all day.

I have a PSP Go and I love it. I like it because it's so easy to carry around. It's a lot easier to fit in my pocket than the 3000 is. The only downside is there aren't as many games for the PSP Go as there are for the 3000, but that doesn't matter to me, because I don't buy PSP games very often. If you're looking for the best portability, then get the PSP Go. If you're looking for a larger selection of games, then get the 2000 or 3000.

if this is your first psp, get a 3000. U can play any game out there and sell the games back if you dont like it. And this is coming from a psp go owner and lover. I would only suggest a GO if someone already has a psp, is over 18 years old, or rather have the superior portablility of the GO. In your case go with a 3000 bundle.

Go with your gut feeling. If you like the look of the Go, then get that. If playing games like War Of the Lions is important to you (they are not on the PSN), and/or if you like the 3000 better, then go with that.

I say go with a 2000 or 3000 model. For the price of a PSP go you can pick up a 3000 model and a 16 gig memory stick.

Get the PSP 3000. Building on that, get the 3000 bundle with MGS: Peace Walker with some extra stuff for only $200.

If you love portability and digital games, get the Go. If you like physical copies like UMD and buy cheap used games, get the 3000. You can also digitally download games on your 3000 as well. Make sure you get the biggest MS possible. You will fill it up real quick.

I recommend the PSP 3000 because it has a bigger selection of games due to the UMD drive and even if you want to download games from the Playstation Store you can still do it on the PSP 3000 just get a bigger memory card. I personally don't like the PSP Go as I'm against downloading games I like to own physical copies of the game and buying UMD's are cheaper then prices on PSN.

While the Go has a big storage device already attached to it, the lack of avaliable games on PSN is a huge turn off for most people. For me I'd rather have a physical UMD and case for the game. I recommend the 3000 model or you wait until the rumored 4000 model comes out (might be a while).
