Agreed. PSP 300 is way worth the money.

PSP 3000 simply because you can't use UMDs with the go. I would never buy a handheld (or a console) where you can only download the games.

if your just starting out and don't buy many used games, than the form factor in more than enough of a trade off for the lack of a UMD drive. of course this is assuming you have a strong wireless connection or a PS3 with internet to download from. The PSP Go seems to get unfairly bashed by those who haven't played it, granted i still have yet to buy my own, but if you think Digital might be the way for you than you can't go wrong

It's the fact that you don't get full access to the PSP's library of games with the PSP Go, because not every game is up for download.

I love digital download, I love how sleek and sexy the Go looks, and how it feels in my hands, and I hope that Sony puts forth the effort to make the digital marketplace shine on the PSP2, but they slipped up with releasing the Go.

It's going to be alright, just look for the silver lining! Oh wait, I guess that figure of speech doesn't apply here.

If some were to absolutely force you, and I mean at gun point, to buy a PSP, the 3000 is the way to go. If they dont have a gun then just run! :P

i have both, and i can honestly say that the 3000 is better. Do yourself a favor and buy a 16gb memory card.. i take my go with me when i travel out of town. having 32gb of games, movies, and comics is really awesome.

you can get a 3000 plus a 16 gig memory stick plus a few games for less than the cost of a go. thus eliminating the need for a go to exist at all...

Should you buy a PSPGo

Positives: Bluetooth, smaller size

Negatives: smaller library, smaller screen, cost more

neutralor deceptive:

16gb memory - also available for the normal psp for ~$50

apps - there were suppose to be some... where are they?

battery life - same as psp 3000... why?

So unless bluetooth, and size are really important to you I wouldn't recommend the go.

I'd say get the PSP Go but $250 is a little to steep. If the PSP Go was $200 then I would say get the Go. but you a bit better off getting the PSP-3000.

People saying both suck either:

A. Don't own a PSP or PSP Go and are DS trolls.

OR

B. They DO own a PSP or PSP Go but have very crappy games that they judge the system by those games.

Anyway, I'd choose the 3000 over the because it's less expensive, and you get the whole library of PSP games. But for looks, get the GO.

Go for the 3000, UMDs mean you don't have to just buy from the PS store.

You know, I was very much against the Go when it was announced, but now, I have one and I'm very pleased with it. It all depends on how you play games...when I was collecting games, I wanted box art and perfect discs. Now, I have less money to spend on collecting and would rather just enjoy them instead of seeing the boxes sitting on a shelf getting dusty. I also picked up a used Go in perfect condition (even had a screen guard on it) for $150...which I used my old PSP 1000 and a few games to trade for. Take into account exactly what games you want to play and find out what is available on the network and readily available in stores. Either way, you're going to get a great system and have access to some fantastic titles.

The PSP Go is a great reason to get a PSP 3000. With the 3000, you get a PSP Go thats 50% off, has all the same capabilities, and can play UMDs. Sony was smart, creating the PSP Go. It worked wonders as a marketing device for the PSP 3000.
