I have an offer on Craigslist for a brand new PSP Go, still in the sealed box, for $180. Dude got it as a present and has no use for it. There are well documented pros and cons of the Go. I was gonna wait for a price drop to seriously consider a GO...looking for your opinions.

No. I have no interest in getting a Go since they hamstrung its capabilities. It should be selling for $100 new to be a justified buy, IMO.

I'm one of the suckers that bought it for $250 :P. That's a pretty good deal, IMO. It really depends on how bad you want the thing (personally, I'd say the Go is for new buyers...if you have a massive collection of UMDs, don't bother with the Go ;)).

Nope, not until Sony stops charging forty dollars for digital titles. Also the PSN store doesn't offer a lot of the games I want.

I personally wouldn't since I already have a 3000, but if you wanted one, it's a good deal.

Nope. I just don't like the idea of having less than half of the current game selection available to me. Cut that price in half, and I'd consider it. But I'd rather get a 3000 for the same price and have all of the games selection available.

If you NEVER had a psp before then $180 is pure awesome deal; Its about the price of a PSP 3000 and less then a PSP 3000 Bundle; I got it for $220 on eBay and im happy; seeing as i never had a psp in my life;

I'll buy a PSP Go for $250 when all games are playable on it from the PSN store AND I can transfer my UMD's onto there.

No, Ill stick with my 1000. Besides, I would just get a psp 3000. The GO is just an overpriced ripoff that sony is trying to take advantage off. Wach, it'll drop in price in just a couple months.

I'd buy it if it came with a free case, I just want some sort of a deal. More or less made up my mind of getting the Go over the 3000.

No.. Psp 3000 is better size and design imo. Plus the playstation network has a very limited selection and the games are overpriced.

I can understand why some would like the Go. It looks nice for sure, smaller screen, but still looks nice. But no. I wouldn't buy the Go at all.

Thats a terrible deal considering if you buy it from gamestop you get 3 free downloads of your choice which could equal $120.00 if the 3 you choose are$40 titles. If you think of it that way, the psp go is really only costing you $130.00. Plus you can wait for the titles you want to be released because this offer stands until March 2010. I would download Assassins Creed Bloodlines, Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars, and Gran Turismo.

That doesn't make any sense. You're still paying 250$ for the GO, and just getting 120$ (potential total) of games. Doesn't make the GO any less expensive. It's just added incentive. Your post is misleading.

yeah, cuz new buyers don't know they're getting ripped off... :P

And, no, I wouldn't buy it for that price, even though all my games are from PSN and would be easily transferable.
