    The Most Portable and Powerful PSP Yet
    The PSP Go, has all the functionality that older PSP hardware versions had, but includes many important and exciting changes. Unlike previous versions whose primary means of playing media was via a built-in Universal Media Disc (UMD) drive, the PSP Go does away with UMDs altogether and instead relies on a media solution combining download functionality via Sony's PlayStation Network, larger onboard storage capacity and removable Memory Stick Duo support. This major change allows for a slim design, quicker access files and a much more quiet, energy efficient gaming experience since there are no longer any spinning UMDs. Other major changes include: Bluetooth support, allowing Internet Skype calls to now be made using compatible headsets; and more importantly, a change to the control scheme. The PSP Go features convenient slide out controls. Although these are consistent with historical PSP controls--featuring four directional arrows, the four familiar Sony face buttons and a left-oriented analog thumbstick--their ability to be placed out of view when not in use allows the PSP Go to maximize the use of its screen and your viewing pleasure. A Full Entertainment System in Your Hands
    The PSP was designed to handle all varieties of applications and entertainment -- music, video, communication, wireless networking, and, of course, gaming. PSP Go users will enjoy topnotch 3D games with high-quality, full-motion video, and high-fidelity audio. Its ultra-crisp 3.8-inch wide screen LCD display is bright and beautiful, and works well under many different lighting conditions. A Wealth of Games to Choose From
    The PlayStation Portable gaming library is hundreds of titles strong and covers a wide variety of genres. The PSP Go is compatible with all PSP formatted games and Sony has pledged to have all these available for download via the PlayStation Network's PlayStation Store. Whether you are seeking the hard knocks of football or other sports games, the strategy of a puzzle games, or the action and adventure of shooters and racers, there's sure to be many games in your future with the PSP Go. Via the PlayStation Store users can also download an assortment of PS One games ported over to the PSP format. The PSP Go is capable of graphics quality that is comparable to the PlayStation 2 console, but in a pocket-sized package, so whatever your game is you can be assured of a quality experience. Watch Movies and Videos on the Go
    When you just want to sit back and enjoy a movie or video on a long plane trip, or anywhere else, the PSP Go has you covered. It offers two options to do this: you can either transfer media ahead of time to a Memory Stick Duo, or using the PSP Go's Wi-Fi functionality, your free membership to the PlayStation Network and access to a hotspot, you can download movies, TV shows, game trailers and more directly to your PSP Go. If users prefer they can also download content ahead of time to a PS3 or a Windows-based PC, via Media Go software, for faster transfer to their PSP Go, and can also watch recorded television content downloaded to a Memory Stick Duo with the TiVo-To-Go service. (Additional fee and a TiVo Series2 connected to your home network also required). Music and Other Functionality
    With the ability to play MP3, WAV, WMA, ATRAC3 , and MP4 files, you can easily use your PSP Go as an audio player. Simply place your music on a Memory Stick Duo, and you can navigate your collection using the PSP Go's XMB (XrossMediaBar) to select your song to play. Built-in Wi-Fi Allows for Internet Browsing, Online Gaming and More
    With built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, you can access the Internet from any accessible hotspot. Once connected, you can surf the Web, check e-mail and visit the PlayStation Store to download games, exclusive demos and game content and even update your system and game software in seconds. The PSP Go is first and foremost a gaming device though.

    4 Star Rating  "PSP Go review"2009-11-16
    - Reviewed By User: A3QABH74S8AQC6
    This is the first review that I have posted here. I just bought the PSP Go a couple of days ago. This was my first real hand held gaming device. Overall, I like it, the games are pretty clear, battery life isn't bad. It looks cool! On the negative side, because of the piano black finish, it is a finger print magnet. The controls are a little hard to get used to. My thumbs don't cramp like other gamers have talked about, but they do feel a little awkward playing it. I have been having some minor issues getting some of the downloaded games from the Playstation Network to work.

    Now that I have talked it down enough, I do recommend it for purchase. It sounds like there will be alot more titles put onto it in the future. It seems alot easier to carry around just the PSP Go and leave the UMD's at home.
     
    5 Star Rating  "If you have a PS3 buy it.....if you don't....read everyone else's reviews"2009-11-13
    - Reviewed By User: A2OEESZREQDND8
    Ok this gaming system is built to work best with the PS3. I have a mac and dell PC I put the software on my dell and still hate the format that Sony uses for it's product integration so I do everything from my ps3 or use the playstation store from the psp system itself.

    The PSP Go is called the Go for a reason. It is made for people like me who travel the subway, cars, and are on "The Go" and don't want to carry all of their UMD's and cards around all the time. Also this is Not an Ipod. I have an Ipod. I'm a firm believer that I have a phone, and Ipod, and a portable gaming system. Less confusion and not one system trying to do everything. Remember how well printer/fax/scanners worked people.......I think we learned our lesson.

    Cons: 1.No UMD and yes you can't resell the games.
    2. All video files need to be converted to mpeg or avi so the psp can read them. So all of your digital copies are almost useless unless you know how to convert mp4. I put all digital copies on my Mac because Itunes is painless and I can run them through my mini 9 very easily.
    3. If you want really nice quality videos it is best to download them from the playstation network...yet more money for stuff you already have. That is that lazy man's way but do a little reading and you can bypass that.
    4. Truly is not made for those with very large hands.
    5. Hoping new games will let me listen to music and play games like the PS3. Not yet.....but hoping. That is one thing I do love about the ipod games.

    Pros: 1. Very small and lightweight yet sturdy construction.
    2. 8 gig upgrade card coming the 17th! Which means soon enough will have more memory than Itouch, but yes more money.....don't care. this is a gaming system. Not an Ipod.
    3. Charging dock and component cable setup looks fantastic on my sony Xbr4 LCD T.V.
    4. Pairing the PSP with my PS3 controller extremely easy yet make sure you have an extra controller for this I have three so I dedicated one to the PSP. Otherwise you will have to continually re-pair with PS3.
    5. That means I can sit back and throw God of War on my T.V. and play it with my Bluetooth PS3 controller. (really fun to do by the way) Also Watching any movie or playing any game can be taken to any T.V. So if Traveling I can hook it up to hotel room T.V.'s or friends!
    6. About the size of two Itouches put together.
    7. Transferring music or video from ps3 is very easy and relatively fast.
    8. hoping for expected pro of Netflix C.D. letting me take rented movies on the go........crossing fingers but we will see. Software on the way.

    Accessories I recommend. 1. Soft Case 2. Screen protector 3. Charging cradle 4. Component or RCA cable 5. Extra PS3 controller devoted only to PSP you might have an extra lying around after dualShock came out.

    Last but not least. This thing is just pure fun. Honestly it is a gaming unit first. Buy some games and have some fun. Stop trying to make one product do everything. It's new and I'm still learnign so If anyone has "Good" ideas on ways to make this thing more fun...please let me know otherwise if I want the long answer on how unhappy you are with my reaction.....I truly don't care. I'm a gamer first and a critic second.
     
    5 Star Rating  "Excellent product...but its not for everyone."2009-11-12
    - Reviewed By User: A32TNNXYJP6I63
    The PSP Go is a terrific product...but it's not for everyone.

    The main thing people need to know about the PSP Go is that It is a all-digital system. Meaning that you cannot buy games/movies for It at any physical store. You can only buy games/movies for the PSP Go from the Playstation Network. I'm not sure If you HAVE to have high speed Internet for It..but If you do,and are Interested In this product...it comes with Instructions on how to buy content.

    The PSP Go is the latest Incarnation of sony's Playstation Portable..otherwise called the PSP. It can play videogames,movies(that you can either buy from the Playstation Network...for the rest of this review..will be called the PSN).You can put your own personal photos onto it from a computer,and you can also put on your personal music onto it. You can also put your own movies that you have on your computer on It If you know how. there are online guides on how to do this and maybe even In the Intsructions that come In the box.

    The upgrades top the PSP Go are that it has blue-tooth technology. So you can tehter it with your bluetooth phone and go on the Internet with your Go via your phone,you can even synch it up with your blue-tooth deck In your car and listen to your games/music/movies through your car speakers. And If you have a Playstation 3(or just Its controller) you can synch the PSP Go with the PS3 controller and use the PS3 controller as the PSP Go's controller. It also comes with 16GB of memory though 2 GB's are held back for system specs or whatever you wanna call it..so you REALLY only get 14GB...still PLENTY of space.

    About the PSN: The PSN is where you will be buying games for the PSP Go. The PSN makes available games to purchase for the PSP/PSP Go. Aswell as movies,TV shows,demos,etc.

    Here Is the part that I dont like:

    The part that I dont like is the availablity of games on the PSN. Before the PSP Go was released...the PSN(which Is updated every Thursday) would get MAYBE 1-2 PSP games available for purchase(and In my opinion..not all of the updates are good. I buy TONS of games and there would be times where I wouldnt buy anything at all).

    When the PSP was released on October 1st...the PSN received a MASSIVE update of games...which was GREAT..but not ALL the games In the PSP's catalog was there and nobody knows If they ever will be.

    From what I've read on videogame message boards...only Sony's games themselves will be available on the PSN that same day..which Is great! But what about games from other companies? From what I hear..it's up to that videogames company to decide if they even want that game available on the PSN. So that means if a videogame comes out that Is NOT from Sony that youo REALLY want to play...you may NEVER play it..atleast on the PSP Go. Though it should be said that most of the "big name" games SHOULD be availalbe..but dont hold me to that.

    It should be said that If you are worried about the above: Buy a PSP 1000,2000,or 3000 model Instead. These models can play physical UMD's(thats what they call the games that you buy In a store) ASWELL as the games that are on the PSN. The games downloaded from the PSN to a older model PSP will be stored on that systems Memory Stick Pro Duo.

    I personally have had a 1000 model,sold it for a 2000,sold THAT for a 3000,then sold THAT aswell as most of my games for the PSP GO( I like to have the newest version of everything :p ) and I dont regret it.

    The selection on the PSN Is a nice size and most of the games that I sold are on there(sadly not all) so I just downloaded them again. The big part of my decision to get a Go was the fact that I could have ALL my games on the system and not have to carry around a whole bunch of UMD's. I never carried more that 2 or 3 anyway because..well..I jsut didnt want to carry all of them In fear I would lose em or something like that and just for the Inconvinience. But with the Go..I have ALL my games on me..which Is great.

    Almost forgot something about the memory...It comes with 14GB of free space..but you can always buy M2 memory cards to add even MORE memory. I plan to buy a 16GB card soon(only because I've never seen a 32GB m2 card).

    Thats my review and I hope it helps you In your purchase.

    Oh! If you decided to get a PSP(any model) PLEASE get a protective case and screen guards. These machines are expensive after all and case and screen guard will help you to protect your entertainment Investment.

    Happy Gaming! ;)

    I live in Japan, and since the Go was released here one month after it came out in other markets, I had plenty of time to read the reviews. Hopefully you realize, like I did, that a large majority of the negative reviews are from those who have never held the console in their hands. I'll offer my insight as someone who has owned the Go for about a week.

    Pros: Great games that are easy to download; highly portable; stylish; ample memory; vibrant screen; great ergonomics; blue tooth; Wi-Fi; PS3 syncing; does more than play games (music, videos, photo-viewing, web-browsing, Skype); game-pause feature; value.

    Cons: For me, none. If you were hoping to be able to transfer UMDs, thrive off of buying/selling used games, don't have a way to download games, or you're not willing to spend $250 on an excellent handheld device, the list of cons grows.

    All in all, I couldn't be happier with the PSP Go. I had high expectations, and I wasn't disappointed.

    - Reviewed By User: A3DBWO0FBQYULI
    There's no amount of hate for the PSPGo, and some of the arguments against purchasing one are hard to counter. That said, I purchased one anyway, and I couldn't be happier with it.

    First, I'll admit to having owned a PSP-2000 a few years ago. I eventually rid myself of it, mainly because I was doing the vast majority of my gaming at home, and there weren't many games out for the system that really held my interest. With more RPGs out for it now such as Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions and Dissidia, I was all prepared to bite the bullet a 3000, but the notion of carrying around a number of UMDs around with me stopped me. I commute every day and so whatever I bring with me for entertainment needs to be as compact and integrated as possible. There's just no good way to transport UMDs short of buying a carrying case, and throwing one of those into my bag with my laptop, phone, notebooks, MP3 player and associated peripherals was definitely a step beyond my comfort level. Enter the PSPGo.

    Integrated 16 GB flash memory, negating the need for both UMDs and memory cards? Check. Smaller size, allowing one to pocket the device without exposing half of it to the elements? Yeah, buddy. Incredibly crisp screen resolution? Also present. Considering I'd sold my PSP games along with my unit, yes, I needed to build a library again. That was solved with a simple $50 Playstation Network Card, which gave me enough to buy a whopping seven PSOne games from my earlier years. I was in gaming heaven. I really can't stress how amazing it is to be able to play those games again, and whenever I want, no less.

    The unit itself really is great. I have fairly large hands and fingers, and I have had no trouble holding and operating the device comfortably and accurately. The sliding mechanism is much like what you'd find in many cell phones nowadays, and it feels sturdy and will likely not break easily. I've always been a fan of Sony's XCrossMediaBar, the operating system of sorts for the PSP and PS3, and navigating it is intuitive and simple.

    To address a few common complaints about it:

    First, yes, it's true. The PSPGo only supports wireless-b, which is pretty frustrating if you like to keep your personal wi-fi network up to date. I'm not sure if Sony has any plan to rectify this considering the most obvious work around to this is to download whatever you need onto your PC and then transfer it to the PSP, but it's my major complaint about the product.

    Second, I've had no problem playing a number of different games on the unit, including classic PSOne RPGs. I can read all text without straining my eyes. I'll state here that I don't wear corrective lenses of any kind, so this experience may be different if you do; my advice is to try it out as much as you can before you purchase it. Simple.

    Third, some claims regarding the battery life seem to be exaggerated. I charged mine to full capacity right out of the box (which, I expect, some do not do with most new electronic devices despite it being the very first step in any Quick Start Guide) then proceeded to play with it for nearly five hours straight without needed to plug it in. If you turn off redundant, nonessential and unused features (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, anyone?), the unit will go for a very respectable amount of time.

    Finally, the biggest complaint of all: Sony doesn't seem too eager to make their entire UMD library available for digital purchase, apparently. Really? Bear in mind that this technology launched just over a month ago, and that all sorts of negotiations need to be made with developers to make their software available in Sony's Playstation Network Store. All of this takes time. Sure, the argument could be made that Sony could've had the wheels in motion much earlier, but given the sheer number of games out for the original PSP system, are you really going to fault them for having only a limited number of titles available after the launch? Remember that Nintendo only had a handful of games up for purchase and download when the Wii was released. Give it time, people. Sony may be trying their hand in the casual gamer market, but they're not stupid. They know where their real consumer base is: dedicated gamers who won't run out and buy their newest incarnation unless they have a lot to offer. This includes the PSP library.

    That said, considering I was most attracted to the portability of the PSPGo combined with the availability of classic PSOne games and the fact that I did not currently have a PSP or any games, this was a great purchase. I couldn't be happier with it.
