I'm not sure if this should be in System Wars or not but bear with me please :), also sorry if there's a million of these.

Anyway I'm not sure which one to buy. I'm thinking I'd prefer the go because I like the all downloadable aspect. Plus I never have like a billion games and it seems like most games are from 300mb to 2gb as far as I've seen. And I'm fine with that, plus I can always buy another 16gb memory stick. Another thing I'd like about it is that I had the psp 1000 and 2000, the 1000 broke, and I traded in my 2000 because I could not stand the plastic-ee feel and there weren't too many good games coming out for a while. Does the 3000 feel like that? I liked the 1000 a lot better than my 2000 because of it's feel. But on the contrary, the 3000 has a bigger screen, and the button layout is simple, is the go's button layout hard to get used to?

Thannks guys that's all I have to ask, and maybe you could tell me some other things about the systems too.

I am planing to buy the 3000 soon but the go is an waste and you can download 5 games which it suck and you have to get another PSNaccount.

No, you can download way more than 5 games. First of all it depends on the file size. Patapon is only like 300mb. And second of all, the biggest game file I've seen was like 2gb, that would mean 8 really big games.

Are there any games that are only on UMD that you want? If no, and price is not of serious concern to you (or you find it at a good price), I'd actually say the Go. The controls are not uncomfortable at all- on the contrary, they're far more comfortable. After using one, it's hard to touch the older analog nub. I'd also suggest you think about whether you'll be playing it outside of your home often and whether you intend to play through a TV. You probably need to provide a bit more information before I'd definitively say one or the other.

Well since I just destroyed my Ipod Touch and at the same time dropped my phone in the ocean. I'd be using it as my main media player inside and out when I'm not using my xbox. I'll be using it for music, and import some mp4 vids over on to it too. So it'd be used inside an out. I don't really care for playing it on the tv. So that doesn't bother me. Another cool thing I just noticed on gamestop's site is that they give you socom ftb3, little big planet, and some other game free if you buy one. That's pretty cool. And because it'd be my main media player carrying around UMD's wouldn't be too great.

Technically speaking, you can download PSN games to a PSP 1000, 2000 and 3000 models. Obviously you would have to buy a memory stick or two if you plan on doing that but it would most likely cost the same (or less) to do so if you plan on buying new...when compared to a Go. I do find the Go has a superior control setup though.

I have a GO and i love it, but i wouldnt recommend it to everyone. The depends on taste and what your plan on doing mostly with your psp. Since I use mine similar to a iphone/itouch I need the Psp Go for bluetooth, save state, and form factor. I dont really care that all the games dont come on the psn because the do still have my 1000 that I can use for umd's. I do purchase the PSN game before UMD though because I can put one game on both systems as if I have 2 copies, which made Peace Walker easier for me and my brother (3 psp's and just one copy, cant beat that).

Still for your case, I would get whatever feels better. The GO doesnt feel cramped like everyone says. Ive seen people play iphones for hours and didnt have and hand soreness. Just know that if you do get the GO, you have to succumb to the PSN as your only source of games. Im not going to pick which one for you since you can go either way and enjoy it.
