Customer Reviews

PSP Go! isn't perfect, but it's a good buy
I used to own a PSP-1000, one of the original launch models. I upgraded to a PSP Go!, and I have already come to love my new PSP; more so than my old model. The PSP Go! isn't perfect, but it is actually a nice upgrade for the PSP line, although it isn't suited to everybody.

So, what are the benefits? The PSP Go! has by far the best screen on a PSP yet - compared side by side to a PSP-2000 the Go! is much clearer, sharper and with a much wider colour space/contrast. Quite simply, any old PSP looks washed out and faded in comparison - and Nintendo's DSi/Lite just doesn't compete. Yes, the screen is slightly smaller, but once you get to using the Go! you'll never notice the difference.

Linked into the smaller screen size is the overall size of the system - the old PSP models were long, bulky and impossible to put in a pocket. In fact, my old PSP rarely left the house at it was an awkward thing to carry without a bag. The Go! is only a small amount longer than an iPhone 3G, and actually fits in my pocket - making the PSP actually portable for the first time. The clever sliding mechanism accounts for most of this size saving, and thankfully the slider is solidly built and doesn't feel like it will fall apart any time soon. The controls are the same as the original PSP, and the new layout doesn't take long to get used to. The lighter weight (especially compared to the original PSP-1000) is a great help for long gaming sessions as it helps to alleviate the age old problem of hand cramp.

Anything else? 16GB of internal flash memory for a start - plenty for a stack of digital downloads, and you can always expand with an M2 memory stick. The Go! also adds a new Pause function for games, Bluetooth for connection to a variety of devices such as headsets and phones, and of course, not having to carry UMDs around.

If you have a large number of UMD games, the PSP Go! may not be for you. The Go! is aimed at people new to the PSP, or those who are willing to sacrifice their collection of UMD titles for convenience. If you already own a PSP, then it probably won't be high on your purchase list - and this is where all the vitriol from the "community" is coming from. Simply put, don't buy one if you don't want it. For me, the smaller size, higher quality screen, and the inbuilt memory makes the PSP Go! worthwhile. Your miles may vary, but the PSP Go! is a good product ultimately.

Extremely Overpriced
£220 is insane. It is the equivelent to 350 US Dollars. It should be cheaper than the psp 3000 due to the lower production costs for Sony as it has no UMD drive. Sony have issued a statement themselves (google it) that basically said: Europeans can pay more because they "understand the value" better than other countries outside of Europe. So basically saying we can pay more, because we will pay more. Don't buy it. Show them that they can't walk all over us. If enough people don't buy the psp go, Sony will have to re evaluate the "Rip Off Europe" stance they now take. I don't usually review anything, but this has really kind of infuriated me. I hope this helps other people make the right decision when it comes to buying this product. ps. i love sony products and have a ps3 myself, but this is a joke, and they should not treat people like this.

hello
wow this is such a great handheld, if want our world to be run by two mega companies buy one now.

so why is it so good?

1 you can choose from any of the 80+ games to download direct to your psp. don't worry if they don't have the one you like, just wait.
2 you don't have to worry about trading your games, you get to pay full price.
3 you get to cut out the middle man, let sony decided what you pay for games. there is no other place to buy psp games so have fun paying
full price for each.
4 your favorite umd's which are so cheep and readily available can be used as drinks coasters. an idea i had was to give them to my mum as a christmas present.
5 see all them shops (where you buy "real" things from) like Gamestation and Game go into administration.
6 you get to help sony line there pockets. downloads are as expensive as the physical games, even though after the programming cost there are no manufacturing costs, or real distribution costs

if you love games think sony, if you love music think itunes.
