PSP Go vs. PSP 3000
The PSP Go is due for release on October 1, 2009, and though it is not meant to be a competitor to the PSP 3000, there are some capability issues that may be aroused that would have some consumers torn between the two. For one, unlike the PSP 3000, the PSP Go does not have a UMD slot, which may not be much of an issue in the long run or for those who are new to PSP gaming, but as there is about 4 to 5 years worth of UMD game titles, those who opt to upgrade to a PSP Go may have to wait a little while before a downloadable version for some older UMD titles are available.
In place of the UMD feature the PSP Go is equipped with 16GB of internal flash memory which can be extended to 32GB per 16GB memory stick. Games will be available for download from the PlayStation store. Games can be downloaded in one of three ways from the PlayStation store. You will be able to download games directly to the PSP Go itself, download the games to the PS 3 and transfer them to the PSP Go, or use the Media Go software on MS Windows based computers.
As of now the advantages to owning one or the other are pretty close to even with the PSP Go leading with a couple of advantages over the PSP 3000. The PSP Go has Bluetooth capabilities which will allow it to be tethered with a number of different Bluetooth enabled devices like speakers and DualShock 3 PS controllers, which should make for a pretty cool and more conventional gaming experience.
The new slider design allows for better portability but may feel a little awkward at first for some one used to the wider grip of the PSP 3000. I haven’t heard any talks of the first addition of the PSP Go having any touch screen capabilities, but there have been rumors of Sony considering integrating phone capabilities into future additions of the PSP Go, and being as that the PSP Go would also become a competitor device in the cell phone market. So with that being said it’s almost a no brainer that Sony would implement a touch screen feature, which would make it even more appealing to the consumer.
In my opinion it probably wouldn’t even be worth the time at this point to upgrade from PSP 3000 to a PSP Go, as the 3000 already possesses most off the same capabilities as the Go as far as the gaming experience is concerned. The 16GB of internal storage that’s in the Go may be plus, but it really is no big deal if you don’t mind interchanging your memory sticks a little more often.
So unless you are just really hard pressed to add Bluetooth capabilities to your PSP gaming experience or you are just looking to lighten your load of UMDs and go strictly digital, there is no compelling reason to go and blow $250 to $300 of your hard earned cash on the PSP Go just yet.

like the design of psp go
i thank the the psp go is going to be a great device if you ask me
PSP 3000 is still better than psp go.
Another major advantage of the 3000 is the screen size; it is half and inch larger than the PSP GO. This plus price was the deciding factor for me.
I have had my 3000 for a week...it is a neat toy.
look at the batterie diferiense
its a bit weird cos the PSP go is a slide and you could slide it 2 much lol
psp 3000 and psp go are still gona be the most popular and its still gonna support psp 3000 since its sitll going alongside with psp go so i say psp 3000 is better its still its in my pocket tho
Good PSP Go hub. I also reviewed Sony's PSP Go on my hub at http://www.hubpages.com/hub/PSP-Go-Review If you want, I can add a link to your hub and you can add a link to mine. - Carol
i found this site which talks in depth about the psp go and i am a little confused weather to get one as i have the original psp which i adore anyway just throught id show this for anyone who is looking for more infomation
the original was very bulky but i think it is going to be such a challenge to get used to not having the original knobstick to use like the psp but its something that will take time to get use too also i have heard all games are downloaded onto the console with no umd in site, hope thats not true as thats means sony may charge for the games also
it looks good in the size but still prefer the old version
great review on this hubpage
i think psp 3000 rules the graphics are the same psp 3000 has a bigger size and microphone and everything but psp go has a bettter design...
psp go is easy to break than psp 3000 because of its slide....and psp go is hard to hold
YOU GUYS ARE SOOOOO JEAOUS JUST CUZ YOU DONT HAVE A PSP GOI WAS LIKE YOU PSP GO SUCKS AND ALL I GOT A PSP GO NOW,I FOUD OUT HOW GOOD IT WAS. SMALLER,LIGHTER,KOOLER,16GB,MORE FEATURES BETTA THEN THE CRAP STUPID PSP 3000
psp 3000 is same good as psp go whatever u think it doesnot matter to me i have 3000 and its rock Aayush Joshi you sucks
so are they going to make a psp touch or put a camera in it?
are they going to make all kinds of play station portable's and upgrade every time then suddenly stop or make as many as they did then stop when there done there next idea and stop what other ideas will they have before there are no more left? How small will they go before they have to stop?
Check this video out
Their is one thing i need to know about psp go can i transfer my umd discs onto psp go so all my games dont go too waste?
Adam there was talk about that your old games/umd discs etc dont work in psp go. you need to re buy them. it runs abit diffirently or something. so basicly if you have lets say 10-100 games on normal psp/3000 . you have to re-buy them for psp go.
Guys is the psp 3000 worth byeing is it the same as the psp 2ooo
psp go is better i bought it from shraf dg in dubai it has biltin mic and spks but u cant put a disk in it i was searching for psp gadgets but suddenly i found some comments
the other thin is u have to buy games and thats the most bad thin it even has a camera icon but i dont know where to
put it 1 hub is at the bottom to charge
well i think that they are both great systems but if the go cant use all my umds then i dont see myself buying it... however it would be nice to "lighten my load of umds for a while... but in the end i would probably use my 3000 more for my old games that i love... thet both are great systems.
i think that the psp go will be alot better than psp 3000
psp go same as psp 3000 but the go looks better and got better graphics and 3000 easier to control i would have both
Lol, I keep Laughing at ugoys spelling :D
I love the psp go, but they should still make umds transferable to download coupons, i had a reguler psp 2000 and
I have a lot of umds:(
pspgo looks good,,, looks goog only
psp 3000 and psp go have the same features, if I were you pick any one.
can anybody name the disadvantages of the two? because my mother is going to buy me one and i need the best choice..pls help me
hee shut up the psp go is the best i had a psp3000 the thief stole my psp3oo0 and now i want the psp go the psp3ooo you have to wait til a new game has realess and then you kan upgrade your psp3000 the psp go ruless so suck it
The PSP 3000 is good if you still use UMD's and the GO is good if you download your games. Just thank god that that they didn't stop production of UMDs completely. ^.^
:b psp go is better
the psp 3000 is the best and i do not give a dam what eany body eals thinkes
You know what i think? I think Sony should make a freaking PSP with freaking 2 analog sticks
I agree with the last comment
PSP GO is SOOO CooL Because it is the latest but it has almost desame specifications of the PSP 3000,, one factor is, Maybe the psp go is cooler because it is latest but there are more latest psp to come which is cooler than the psp go so it will not be cool anymore,,SO I better go with the PSP 3000 which is also cool and hard to break than the psp go, second factor is the psp go is more portable than the psp 3000 but they are all portable. So they are just desame,, That is why I prefer to let you choose the psp 3000 that is so durable than the psp go that is cool but it will not be cool anymore if there will be any latest sony psp to come…..

As i have read the following details of PSP go, I can definitely say that PSP 3000 is more cool than the latest one. If i will gave a rating to the PSP go from 1-10 i will rate it to 7...for they have the same characteristics from the other one. The only main difference is the body and the quality of it. My message to Eldan is you rock dude!!!!
Gadgetoholic man.....
plss add me...brve_wrior@yahoo.com
N.B if i will describe myself i'm gentleman and cute.hehehe
HI, do you guys think I should get the psp go or the psp 3000?
HI, do you guys think I should get the psp go or the psp 3000?
Sorry, I posted that twice.
I think that the PSP 3000, is still better than the PSP GO. For starters, if your like me, I don't have wifi connections so I can't acsess the PSN. I have two difrent PSP's so I can switch memory cards from one to the other. You can't do that with built in memory. And then there is the screen, its smaller than the PSP 3000's, so its NOT good for movies on the go. There are alot more UMD Games than there are PSN games.
i love my gameboy color
My advice foR EAG "If you have lots of money just buy the psp go for the sake of coolness because it is latest but if you refer not to the coolness or for the sake of latest, just for the Durability means Hard to break,, i will let you choose the
psp 3000 ANYWAY IF HAS DESAME SPECIFICATION TO THE PSP GO, the difference is just thr bluetooth,,but you can have a bluetooth to your cellular phone if you want if.... BUT IF YOU ARE REALLY CONFUSED AND YOUR SICK OF THINKING IT, JUST BUY THE TWO,,,,,,

I think the PSP GO would be good if the PSP GO had more battery, the disk drive, and sleep mode it sounds like it is taking more than giving new features.
basically its simple if your planning on geting a psp for christmas and your not paying for it get the new psp go and show it off no one cares about the 3000 anymore lol but its still good if u dont feel like going through th psn or don't have internet but the psn part isnt so bad anyways u can just goto game stop or whatever and buy a psn card for like 10-50 dollars just like ur buying a umd and who cares if the screen is one inch longer the Go still looks way better and dont u wanna feel cool fliping it xDDD! So yea for me im saying psp go if your planning on geting one for christmas for people who already have the 3000 dont switch its a waste of money and umd's There :D?
I'm only jealous because psp go has bluetooth
I just bought a psp 3000. I like the cute toy. What a pity it is a black one. If i can have other choices, that would be better.
if u wanna psp just go for 3000..........cmon dudes u cant spend 75 extra dollars just for blutooth and a bit of new facilities........psp go is nt even cracked....{THATS the bigest drawback}...go for 3000 and play ur fav games in ISO formats........that rocks
I think I should get psp go for christmas so im not paying 4 it. r there a lot less games on psn than with umds?
How many games are there in umds compared to on psn? PLZ ANSWER ASAP!!!
psp go is sooooooooo much better
lol this is an intense argument. i would just like to say one thing. the psp go is more expensive because it has 16gb of flash drive, if you think about it how much is a psp 3000 with a 16gb memory stick?
and Berndon to answer your question the psn lacks games. if there is a new release game it will take a while for it to be on the psn, and sometimes they don't get added to the network. but they do say they are working on adding games.
psp go is good but if you want to hack something go for the psp 2000 or 3000
lol i like my psp 2000 better then the go or the 3000 cuz of the custom firmware and the whole free games thing ha
lol i think ill stick with the psp 2000 and my trusty 16gb duo ;)
Well I am planning on getting a Go but I have a stupid question... is Smackdown VS. Raw downloadable from the PS Store fore the Go yet? And basically what you guys were saying is that you can hook up a controller to the Go since it has Blutetooth? Sorry for random questions.
wish they could combine smartphone,psp 3000 & psp go,so u can do phone calls,internet chatting & game playing at the same time
i think psp 3000 because it is hard to put a games and files in psp go
I think that the psp go is better than the 3000 because its completely digital, more portable, and you don't need umds for it.
People have been saying it sucks because you can't download your old umd games to it but why would you wanna download them if youve already beaten them or dont even play the anymore.
Yes, CASD your right that psp go is better than psp 3000 but that is only what you think,, In fact my cousin buy a psp She put it in her pocket but suddenly She was hit by a running man and Because the psp go is slide screen it breaks easily,,, I had many experiences with my psp 3000,, but still it is so durable,, Because I am a man who dont care of buying the latest because I know what makes me comfortable to the pocket and Durable in times of accident.

I have a feeling that people dont know what they are talking about I mean one guy says psp go id better because it is the latest...that's bull. I feel psp go was just sonys starting point in revolutionizing portable gameing. If your in it for duarabilty and a pretty decent gameing experience and less about the looks then I say psp 3000 but if you eant something to show off to your friends and still also a decent gameing experience then go with psp go. But with psp 3000 the noticeable con is carrying all your umds with you in my opinion can be a real drag. They are both almost exactly The same in features. Hope I helped

The PSP-3000 will be my psp for a long time to come if this is the best Sony can come up with
Hi, I had a PSP GO but sold it as my I couldn't get used to holding it. I've bought a few games which I have in my Media GO software on my PC.
Does anyone know if I buy a PSP 3000 and a Memory stick, will I be able to copy the games to the memory stick and play them on a PSP 3000?
Cheers for your advice.
Scott.
i dont kno if i should get a psp or a psp go....in my opinion i the psp go is better....it has good graphics n it has a realy neat desighn
Ok GUYS. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. If you want a system and you don't care about durability or sales or whatever then go for the PSP GO. Dang psn cards are same as cash. But if your worried about the memory buy the psp 3000 and buy a 16 gb card from amazon.com for like 50 bucks. comes out to be the same price. plus you can play all of your old games. the psp go is COOL but sucks for gaming. The back l and r buttons are also very bad. The only feature is bluetooth but who needs that. dang just get a plug in mic. nvm the psp 3000 already has one. You can link both to a ps3 but the bluetooth connection might be a bit faster than the adhoc connection but either are good. Dang im still have my 1000 and with the durable battery pack. 2400 mah battery or whatev it is i get like 10 hours of play. Dang you can even get a 3200 mah off brand battery that is safe and that gives you like 15 hours of play. its awesome dude. But for any of you cfw iso hackers you cannot make a pandora battery lol. I recomend the psp 3000 over any portable gaming console. and gues what. a new game called kingdom hearts for it is coming out in january awesome dude. im so going to get it. graphics look awesome and i love the franchise. If you have any more questions i can help and i will be unbiased as possible just contact me at Jonathoncliffbailey@gmail.com

I think the the PSP go is meant to be like another PSP,a s they are still going to support the 3000. Basically, they are giving newcomers and stuff more options.
