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
Abstract: Today, finally, we get to read full reviews of Sony’s PSP Go. The device has been in the spotlight for some time and we’ve seen a number of hands-on reports, but this is the first time that sites are posting full reviews of their experience with Sony’s...
Abstract: Since launching the first PlayStation Portable in 2005, Sony has taken a strictly incremental approach to design variation. It took the company nearly two years to introduce the first redesign with the PSP-2000 or PSP "Slim," and with it, only trimmed ...
Beautiful new form factor. Digitalonly storefront streamlines the process of consuming games with wanton abandon. Finally, a Playstation Portable that's actually portable! Revolutionary enough to cast off the dead hand of physical media.
Have a library of PSP games? You're not playing 'em on the PSPgo. No support for old accessories either.

The PSP Go is a sleek and sexy redesign, but its high price tag and some frustrating caveats mean it's not a must-have upgrade for existing PSP owners--at least for now. Read full review See all prices

It's way to early to make a definitive judgment on the Sony PSP Go, but from our early hands-on experience, we can't wait to find out more....
Attractive slide-screen interface, 16GB inbuilt memory, light, digital distribution - the future of gaming!
PSP control issues still remain, too expensive, game downloads cost the same as the ’real’ thing
The PSPgo is a significant evolution of the Sony PlayStation Portable that impresses on almost every level. Unfortunately, its prohibitive price tag is difficult to overlook -- particularly when compared to the PSP 3000, which will be sold alongside it...
Mr Pocket please meet PSP , Heeeey there good lookin', Light, yet sturdy , Pause and restore games anywhere , UMD gone...
but leaves upgraders in a lurch , Hip pocket nerve winces in pain , More fingerprints than an episode of CSI , No 802.11g/n, DivX, Xvid support , Shoulder buttons easy to hit accidentally
We love its slimmer, sexier, more pocket-friendly shape, as well as its pause and restore anywhere feature, but the PSP Go doesn't quite add enough to the mix to justify its price tag....
