The PSPs usual excellence as a gaming device and PSP
Bolstered by more memory and greater portability. The promise of instant access to new games
Brighter screen. Internal flash storage. Good movie and music experience.
Smaller than the old PSP
Pick up the PSPgo and you'll see its significantly smaller than the old PSP. The UMD drive is gone
Replaced with 16GB of internal storage for stashing games downloaded direct from the PlayStation Store. The 3.8-inch screen is a stunner and its 43 per...

The editors didn't like
Controls position
Price
No 3G
The smaller screen and lack of backwards compatibility
Poor web browser. Uncomfortable controls. Software Windows-only
Cramped design
Downloads cost more than UMDs
That said
We found the gaming experience itself a tad cramped. You’ll soon find your hands are in an awkward position which does not compare well to the bigger PSP-3000. The d-pad and controls could do with being closer to the centre
Sharp, vibrant screen, Significantly smaller form factor,
Smudgy black surface, proprietary power and data connector, proprietary Memory Stick Micro slot, smaller screen, lousy,
unimproved browser, minor comfort sacrifices due to smaller size, less flexible than UMD-equipped PSPs
The newfound pocketability of the PSP Go makes one undeniable step forward from the PSP-3000, but Sony takes too many simultaneous steps back to justify the $250 price tag. The missing UMD drive strips it of compatibility with old games, and introduces...
First PSP to comfortably fit in your pocket, Better screen resolution than previous PSP, Great multimedia functionality, Built in 16GB of memory fits about 15 games, More comfortable to use than one would think, No more clunky UMD’s!,
No physical games mean no tradingin or buying used, Media Go is Windows only, Thirdparty companies not required to digitally release games, Black unit is a fingerprint magnet, No matter how you slice it the price is still ridiculously high
In the world of gaming there’s two types of people. There’s the hardcore gamer who spends most of his day, money, and spare time on video games. This type of gamer has an extensive library of games and has a very purist ment...
Your feelings about the PSP Go will be greatly influenced by whether or not you already have a Sony PSP and/or a lot of disposable income. If you want the latest and the greatest, I can recommend the PSP Go unconditionally. No device is 100% perfect,...
Abstract: I figured instead of reviewing one game in a quick review today, I would time myself, and do a "Quick Review" of every PSP game I downloaded for the Go. Once I'm done, I'm going to assume that everyone is sick and tired of hearing me talk about the Go,...
High price, no real improvements, 802.11b wireless for a download-only device is not fast enough. Overall: Designed with a specific consumer in mind, not the average gamer. Some of the reviews of Sony’s PSPgo may leave you with the impression that t...
More compact than previous-generation PSPs. 16GB onboard storage. Bluetooth.
Expensive. Performance is identical to last PSP model. M2 memory cards. Slow 802.11b. Non-removable battery. Smaller display. No UMD optical drive: If you own PSP UMD titles, they must be repurchased as downloads.
Sony's latest portable gaming console, the PSP go, may be almost as compact as an iPhone, but Sony took away more functionality than it added....
Abstract: Goodbye, old storage media! Rumored for God knows how long, and teased for months, the Sony PSP Go is finally available at your friendly neighborhood retailer. We have one—well, I have one—and have been playing with it for a couple of days now. As such...
Abstract: The PSP Go may have been the worst-kept secret of this year's E3 show, but Sony's press conference has now supplied the official details. For the most part, there's little that wasn't already revealed the PSP Go is smaller, has a slide-up screen, no UM...
Abstract: Sony's latest stab at a portable handheld, the PSPgo, hits shelves tomorrow. Are you excited? It's so small and cute! The sexy unit landed in the Destructoid Baltimore offices this week, and I spent many hours putting it through its paces. But at $249...

Sleek form factor, Sturdy hinge on sliding screen, Integrated storage
Pricier online content, More expensive than older models, Battery no longer removable
If we were to just take a look at the hardware at face value, we'd say Sony has done some great work here. It's a sturdy, classier game system that we're not as shy about taking out of our pocket on long, public commutes. We really do like the portable, b...
