   My brother just bought one of these, and after playing
   with it for several hours I can say that this is a very
   slick product, the screen slide mechanism and buttons
   feel just fine. The screen is a bit smaller than the
   standard PSP, and looks great.
   
   The 16 GB of onboard memory will accommodate a handful
   of games, which is convenient when you're on the go,
   but as many others have pointed out, there are some
   serious problems with the PSP Go...
   
   All games will have to be purchased thru the Playstation
   Store, and the prices are higher than what you would
   pay here on Amazon for the UMD game.
   
   I counted about 20 games in the PS Store that are
   40 bucks, and for that kind of money here is what
   you DO NOT GET with the game:
   
   * disc
   * printed manual
   * case with nice artwork
   * ability to give game disc to a friend
   * ability to sell or trade-in game for another
   
   Some of the games in the PS Store are 1.6 gigabytes in
   size, which can take a long time to download because
   the PSP Go uses the slow 802.11b wireless standard.
   
   This means that downloading a game from the PS Store
   can take 1 to 2 hours! And if the download is
   interrupted, you have to start over from square one,
   because the PSP Go cannot resume broken downloads.
   
   Ok so let's say you are ok with the higher prices at the
   Playstation Store and you're willing to give up all the
   benefits and rights that you get with UMD disc games.
   
   The problem is that many of the top-rated PSP games are
   not available in the PS Store, at any price!
   
   Here we are about 2 months after launch, going into
   the holiday season, and here are some top PSP games
   that are NOT available in the Playstation Store:
   
   Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles
   Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
   Lumines
   Lumines II
   Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
   Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Collection
   Space Invaders Extreme
   Taito Legends Power Up
   Tekken: Dark Resurrection
   
   
   The PSP Go has a high coolness factor, but it is just
   a bad deal, any way you look at it.

   My wife can't get her hands off this baby! She loves the smallness and the weight on this unit. The screen is very bright and clear. Sounds coming from the stereo speakers are great. We are planning to get another one of these so that we can play two players via WiFi. Awesome game console.

   This has to be the worst idea sony had. The PSP GO is the biggest waist of money. You cant use or transfer your udm games, it takes forever to upload movies onto your psp using its software, it has issues connecting to the internet and remotly to the ps3 and customer support is the worst. You are on your own and you have to repurchase all of your udm games if you want to play them on this system. Worst of all, you can't purchase games on sale or used games for this system...

   as stated in all the other reviews, there are so many things lacking with the Go.... I had hoped Sony would be
   smarter.... NOT this time....
   
   a huge disappointment....
   
   SONY, work out the PRICES of your digital downloads!! Stop punishing those who actually BUY your products and
   do right by US, the legit customer!!
   
   SAD!

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. Ad hoc enabled multiplayer games allow PSP players in close proximity to play together, but your PSP Go's Wi-Fi connection also allows you to battle other gamers anywhere in the world over the Internet, in online infrastructure multiplayer games. Other functionality available remotely via a broadband connection includes: Internet radio; LocationFree TV, allowing you to view your home media setup from anywhere; RSS feeds; Remote Play, which gives you access to your PS3; and more.
