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

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.

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. ^.^

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.
