I don’t like the Go, the controls don’t do anything for me, it’s dumb none of the X000 series accessories work with the go.
AND THE DUMBEST THING EVER is no UMD drive, I will be getting a 3000. Although the Bluetooth addition is not a bad idea and so is the built in memory.

I think you missed the point of the whole article, Jose. Not everyone owns more than one PSP. And it doesn’t make sense for Sony to charge such a high entry price for the Go (obviously covering the cost of the unit so there is no loss on hardware) and then still charge such a substantial mark-up on the games as well over brick and mortar stores.

WHY DID YOU DO THE COMPARISON THEN, NUMNUTZ?! You should have just done the highest rated available at launch, you goofball. The rest are a waste of time! Yeesh… One thing to consider, you can put a downloadable game on up to 5 different registered PSPs… I have three… ALL GAMES ARE LIKE 66% off to me!!! w00t!

In Australia many Platinum games are cheaper brand new in UMD format (many under $20) than on PSN (around $30). The PSN range does need to expand quickly- esp in RPGs and action/shooters. Metal Gear Peacewalker may even be a console-selling title, but whether its the 3000 or the Go that people buy is a different matter.

I would have thought they might introduce a Go-only pricing structure to differentiate and encourage people to lean to the newer format. The more games people get on their Go, the more attractive it looks to others- even if only in a “Pay more now, less later” way. I have 6 already and people cant believe that its all in there. Obviously this was always possible on a Pro Duo but lets not forget that was always an added $50 minimum for 16GB.
