I am an original PSP 1001 (phat) owner and love the Go model. I never liked the 2000 or 3000 series because they felt 'cheap' to me. The PSP slim models were built with a plastic frame where as the original 1000 series was built with a metal frame. Fortunately, although also on a plastic frame, the PSP Go is pretty solid. Keep in mind this is a slider design and therefor there will naturally be a little bit of play but nothing to worry about nor enough to drive you crazy. So whats great about the PSP Go? -Small size makes it more portable than other PSP models. It is just slightly larger than an iPod Touch for reference. Or a Palm Pre :) -Gamepad has been redesigned to be more compact and the buttons feel great. -'Pause' feature (essentially a save state) allows you to pause a game at any time while you are playing and quit the game. You can resume game play from the xmb. -PS3 controller support allows you to pair your PSP with your PS3 controller which is great for long gaming sessions where a handheld can be uncomfortable. -HD and SD TV video out support (additional cable required) which looks surprisingly good and great for long gaming sessions as well. -Screen looks great! -Bluetooth -Built-in microphone -16gb built-in memory with further expansion available to 32gb Whats not great? -High price -No UMD drive means you only have the option to buy games from the PlayStation Store on the PlayStation Network which usually means you are paying full retail price per game. -Wireless B. All PSPs have wireless B but I was surprised that Sony didn't throw in wireless G for the PSP Go.Read full review

In my personal opinion this is the best version of the PSP that Sony has made. The best feature to me is the slide out controls. It makes the system more compact and maximizes the screen size. I have no clue why Sony went back to the original design on the Vita with the controls next to the screen. Other then that the only thing I DO NOT like is that you have to download games from the PSN. So you either have to buy a bunch of memory chips, or a couple big ones. The only thing the DS has over the PSP is a built in camera, other then that the PSP blows the DS out of the water. The PSP is a total media center in your pocket: play games, watch movies, listen to music, look at pictures, surf the web, and remotely play your PS3. It is the best portable system on the market. Add a camera and the abillity to make phone calls and you wouldn't need anything else EVER!!!!Read full review
PSPgo is a great portable system with a huge library of PS1, PSP, and Minis available for download from the Playstation Network. 16gb of internal memory also gives players alot of freedom to bring their digital copy movies, music, and photos on the go. This system would receive an excellent rating if it weren't for having no UMD support as well as select previous PSP titles still being unavailable through the Playstation Network. I bought this system as a personal upgrade from the PSP-1000 series model. Having no UMD support is a huge predicament for gamers already faithful to Sony and the PSP system, so if your going to upgrade, be ready to incure the extra costs to re-purchase your game library. Other than that, it is an excellent system, with sleek design and performance that all true gamers should experience.Read full review
This is a great item for people who do not already own a earlier psp model. I am pleased with what it can do but I do have some concerns like will this "downloadable" only emphasis catch on? As of this writing the number of titles available aren't great but given time who knows. I just hope support for this model doesn't go the wayside because it is a decent device to play games and watch videos on. As far as wireless connectivity it has bluetooth and wireless b (really, come on) and has 16 GB internal memory. I wouldn't upgrade to this model if I already owned a earlier psp but who knows some might. Overall I feel this is a 8 out of 10 and as I said before I just hope developers and sony continue to support this device heavily in the up coming months!
