PSP Go! - Shall I?

Christmas is almost upon us and i'm trying to decided what I want. As I dont really need much I am stuggling to decide if I should get the new PSP Go! I have the original PSP 1000 which I would sell along with around 12 games. This should take around £100 (give or take a little) of the hefty price tag.

So what do you guys think? Is it worth it? What are the main advantages?

Thanks!

Honestly, I believe with 100% conviction that gaming will go to digital distribution model sooner rather than later and the PSP Go is a great example of how it should be done. Yes, the screen is slightly smaller but it is a higher quality screen with regard to brightness. The PSP Go has awesome battery life, has the ability to expand to 32GB of storage with an additional M2 memory card (which is what I did) and the ability to have so many games preloaded on the system with absolutely no discs required is an awesome feeling. I think I currently have 10 PSP games and 8 PSOne classics loaded on mine so I can play what I want when I want. I highly recommend it so long as you don't have the stigma others seem to about not actually owning a physical piece of software that they can hold in their hands. Great handheld IMO.

Really?

Sacrificing the screen in the hardware and then having a small amount of your entire catalog of titles ready to download for users is how it should be done?

Also having one of your biggest games on the system (Little Big Planet) unavailable at it's launch to an entire region who have to get it digitally?

That's the right way to do it?

If you're going to upgrade grab a 3000 and enjoy everything a PSPGo can do plus everything the standard version can do too.

well its not perfect atm but its still fairly new. but if you don't care about physical copies or the price and want a psp thats actually easy to carry around (fits in your pocket) then i say get the go. i definitly plan on getting one for christmas or just after the holidays.

Both are easy to carry around, there's not much difference between the two when it comes to overall size

What is noticeable is the smaller screen on the go compared to the 3000

You'd think if they were going to shrink it they'd keep the screen the same size

I beg to differ on the size issue. I wear tight pants on occasion, and the Go fits much better for me. In my case the Go has proved to be much more portable in many situations. Also I can still play all my UMDs because I still have my old PSP. If you are looking for portability, the Go is the best choice. At the end of the day, it's still the smallest handheld you can own.

Oh... oh my... is there a "vomitting" Emoticon?

:lol:

And by the way... I think the "Other Company's Handheld" is technically smaller.

Well I never said how tight...and jnco's are thing of the past so...

I have both, and the PSP Go feels much smaller when carrying it around in my pocket.

You see, where I find fault in what you say is that you do not give any reasons as to why it is a lousy example of how things should be done with digital distribution. Sony's PlayStation Network functions as well as any other distribution model that I have seen in gaming. Given that the average PSP game is apx. 1GB in size, I could have anywhere between 20-35 games preloaded on my PSP Go given that I have maxed it out to 32GB. If I could ever play more than that many games at one time then I would be a gaming wizard. These arguments remind me of when iTunes first started selling digital music. SO many people would say that it would never work and that they simply had to own their physical CDs...now iTunes is the largest music distributor in the United States. All I was trying to say is that this will be the eventual distribution method, either by adoption from consumers or from the developers forcing us to buy games this way. It is simply more cost effective for the company and that will rule the day 99% of the time.

I think if you really need the added portability of the go then do it, if you really dont then the 3000 is a far better albiet less cool looking option. : )

You're selling 12 games!!!??? :shock:

if you really plan on not playing most of them ever again then i guess Go ahead and take a shot at it

the go is not much smaller than the 3000. the 3000 is a much better deal. Just buy a 3000 and then buy a 16gb memory card. Problem solved.SF_KiLLaMaN
