go vs 3000

so i've decided that i'm going to buy a psp. i thought about going with the psp go, but than read some reviews that said i'm better off with the 3000. now, saving money would be nice, but it isn't a major issue. i just want to know what would be the best portable gaming experience. what do you think i should go with?

P.S.: by 3000 i mean the slim & lite version of the 3000

get the 3000 cuz u can still play umds and u can download the same games as the go frm the psn

There's a sticky for this at the top of the forum, and no offense, but the topic has been posted to death and you can find people listing the pros and cons of each unit pretty easily -Please do a search before posting a new topic thread in the future.

Thank you!

You know we get this question on average once or twice a day. Im going to break it down like this:

If you are new to the psp scene then I would recommend the 3000. It enables you to play all the games and not limit yourself to the psn network with its limited selection. That way you can go back and play games on umd and still be able to download games that you want to a large memory stick. If you have had a psp for a while then i would recommend the GO. That way you can take advantage of the portablility to take all your games with you but still be able to play umd on your other psp console.

Its comes down to preference. I have had a 2 psp 1000 and a psp 3000 and i can attest that the GO is my favorite of the bunch in terms of portablitiy. But the psp is for games and if you want to have the availablitiy to play all the games in the psp library then I would go for the psp 3000.

The PSP Go is anabsolutely brilliant machine and if you can afford it, do so. No matter what you do, buying a PSP is win.

3000 all the way ... it's cheaper, and the games are cheaper, plus I prefer the layout of the buttons and knob. (That sounded kinda wrong but ...)

i see this topic beaten to death in this forums. i have not really participated a lot in these discussions. It's been a while since the GO came out, and I can honestly say, I hate the whole idea behind it. SONY did not release all the games that came out originally for the UMD on their PSN like they promised; which basically means the customers are limited to picking a game based on sony's discretion on what they put up on PSN. I dont care if SONY has licensing issues with other 3rd party developers. They should have told the customer this before saying every single umd will be available to download on psn.

Stick to the 3000 series. You get to download games from PSN if you want to or can go to the store and buy a used copy or can even find games that are not even offered on PSN. PSP Go must GO.

Well IMO get a Go if......

1. You want to spend more money on the initial outlay

2. You can live with not having access to the full back catalogue of games

3. You can live with paying PSN prices (which are almost always higher than the best internet prices )

4. You can wait an average of 2 to 3 weeks after release date for games to appear on PSN

5. You want smaller "more pocket sized" console

6. You want the convienience of not carrying UMD's about

Well I aint got so many UMDs (guess you too) so I would Go with the Go - its alot smaller lighter and well its better in any single way except for the UMD (gogitec are making a UMD addon for the Go BTW)

Go for the PSP GO. Sure, it costs more but it's well worth the price and offers the best package out of any PSP model.
