Well I just spent the better half of a day playing the psp go and the verdict. It handles well the analog stick is better than the older ones and its smaller size has improved my ability in monster hunter freedom united. its new features are nice too and the wifi seems faster but that can just be buyers illusion. So what do I say, if you don't already own a psp its a good buy if you want one with no umd hassle, but if you already do own a psp just get a ps3 instead. Also there are rumors of an external umd drive you connect through the usb slot but that can just be random speculation.

I don't know why everyone is being so negative with the go. I plan to buy one at launch for one simple reason its smaller size. I have deformed wrists and a handicapped gamer and with the old psp I have to use over sized grips to play games on it and cant take it anywhere. But with its smaller size I can play it without the grips and take it anywhere. Yes it sucks that it can't play umd but to me thats acceptable and this is nothing but a test for sony they are preparing the psp 2 and they wanted to test a download only system to see how well it does. In 3 years you will see the psp 2 and it might be digital download only.
