The new PSP Go system is a sleek and lightweight system at just 160g, around 43% smaller than the PSP 3000. the sophisticated and stylish design incorporates a sliding 3.8-inch display screen, delivering the same high resolution and vibrant visuals as the current PSP-3000 model. Leveraging PlayStation Network and digital content exclusively, PSP go system features 16GB of internal memory as well as expandable storage via Memory Stick Micro (M2) to store plenty of games, videos, photos, and music. The PSP go system is designed for the digital lifestyle, offering on-demand entertainment to consumers who want to download content directly to their device anytime, anywhere* over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. RemotePlay features also allow remote access to files on your internet connected PS3 via wireless internet when you're on the move.
Games include LittleBigPlanet, MotorStorm Arctic Edge and Gran Turismo and many more available for download in the future. Expanding the PSP universe, PSPgo is the smallest, lightest PSP yet. Which means it's now even easier for you to play great games, listen to your favorite music, watch videos, view photos, surf the Internet and chat with friends on the move. Plus, with Bluetooth 2.0 technology now added to the mix, PSPgo also retains its critically acclaimed Wireless features including Ad Hoc Mode (direct PSP to PSP Wireless connection), Infrastructure Mode (PSP to Wireless local area network (WLAN) connection), Remote play (PSP to PS3 Wireless local area network connection) and Game Sharing, which allows you to share specific game features between two PSP systems. Never has there been so much power in your pocket.PSPgo has a brand new look that's perfect for slipping into your pocket when you're on the go. The system's stylish slide open design reveals the familiar PSP button layout and feature set - complete with analog stick and built-in microphone. PSPgo is now the ultimate portable PlayStation gaming system.

 psp go great July 28, 2010

I used to own a PSP-1000, one of the original launch models. I upgraded to a PSP Go!, and I have already love my new PSP go more so than my old model .
good overall console but i think that some of the full price games are a little l expensive on the psn store. the game downloads from playstation network are time consuming and dont always install but i did them again with no problem
There is no UMD slot on this console it is designed purely for internet use as far as games go,you can however still put music,photos and video clips on it via a PC and ps3
I like this console mostly due to the fact that you have all your games with you in one unit. i got this go with 10 free games so it was a bargin for me anyway
i just wish the hate for this psp would go and people would give it a go lol
i can understand parents being put off with kids due to the fact games priced at more download only no umd drive no trade in
but it is still the best psp out and i would not be without mine now and im glad i got one so for me 5 stars love it
Cant put it down July 18, 2010

I bought this psp go for my 8 year old son and he loves it. I set the console up for him using the Internet on the psp go. It was easy and straight forward. You download the games from the PlayStation store on to the psp go ,once you set up an account.So no games are left lying around the house to get broken or scratched . Anybody that buys a psp go from May - September can claim 10 free games , World cup south Africa, need for speed, big planet,avatar etc.
My son tells me its easy enough to use. The detail and graphics on the games are brilliant. My son loves this console and he never has it out of his hands.
Is it just me or does everyone have this wrong? June 26, 2010

After reading countless 'bad' reviews relating to: small buttons (compared to the PSP 000 series); no back-wards compatability (i.e. UMD); too smaller screen (compared to the PSP 000 series) - and other negative comments in relation to a comparison to the PSP 000 series I thought I should write my first review.
I own both a PSP 2003 and a PSP go. As I see it, they are not supposed to be compared. These machines are designed for different purposes. Let me explain my reasoning.....
I use my 2003 as a 'Portable' - not a 'pocket and take with me' device. If I did, I'd constantly have to choose only 1 or 2 games to take with me and I know that as soon as I reach my destination I'll want to play the game I didn't take!
I use my 2003 for an hour each day whilst exercising on my bike (and if anyone wants to take me on playing Fifa after a year's practice each morning then feel free to get whipped! :-))
For this, my PSP 2003 is great. It doesn't have to be pocket friendly, I don't have to worry about taking my UMD collection, the buttons are big, the screen is the biggest available on a portable and it absolutely keeps me occupied whilst doing my exercise routine. For this use, and similar 'around the house but not tied to a TV uses' it is the best.
I use my PSP go as a 'pocket' device. I have 10 games on it without having to carry more than just the device. The sound is good, but thanks to the bluetooth connection, I can play with wireless headphones and not get tangled or caught on jacket buttons or other objects - also, I don't get that annoying reverberation of noise you get when you touch wires on sensitive in ear headphones. I use this when away on business, travelling on trains and buses and on holiday. For this use, and other 'on the go anywhere uses' it is the best.
True, media-go is not the most reliable software and you have to shut down and restart it sometimes to transfer a file....but with each version it is getting better - and I remember the early days of iTunes when it too was a bit rubbish!
Also true, digital only (PSN) games are priced by Sony and Sony alone and you can't take advantage of cheap UMDs or trade-ins....but then I have a PSP 2003 for this, and I never looked at these two machines and thought that they were in competition. They are simply different - and before the PSP go came along, I never used to take my PSP out the house as it was just too big and I didn't want to risk losing my game collection. If I lose my PSP go, I still have all my games on the PC.
So, in conclusion, I would say that they both are aimed at different markets. One is for the 'on the go' gamer that wants digital content and no luggage....the other is for the portable gamer that wants a bigger machine at the expense of not wanting to fit it in their pocket.
I would recommend the PSP 000 series for younger gamers - but that is because of the reasons stated above: Games are cheaper and can be traded in; and that they will use the machine in the house in the main (or their mates' house).
For an ipod user who is used to iTunes and truly wants a mobile games machine, I would recommend the go - even if the games are more expensive.
One final point, the current deal of 10 free games with the PSP go (until Sep 2010) is an excellent bargain - and worth buying just for that - but be warned, the 10 free games can only be used on the PSP go (before you think about using them on your PSP 000 series too) :-)

Just couldn't get this going for my son aged 91/2 who was really looking fwd to it. Came with euro plug and needed adaptor - no English instructions - couldn't get it working via wireless despite many attempts - kept on rejecting e-mail addresses - nice screen - whizzy graphics - great feel - but never got to try it out properly - Sony screwed this up - didn't think it through - don't buy one - can't trade or swap games - they don't get it - returned after 10 days - waste of time and money - all in all, 1/10.

good overall console but i think that some of the full price games are a little over rated and a little expensive. the game downloads from playstation network are time consuming and dont always install the first time. still undecided whether or not download only games are the way to go. cant re sell or swap downloads! in my opinion stick with psp 3000 and buy umd's.
