PSP Go Review

[TwoNoobGamers]

Slick and sexy...

[DaneBone]

The PSP Go has the bluetooth feature interesting as it can accept dial up from a phone. I can finally connect to the internet anywhere :D I'm buying it this February...

[WillyKneeland]

job*

[WillyKneeland]

lol sony didnt do a great jodge trying to prevent people from hacking this system. its rlly easy to get homebrew and iso games running on these. :)

[aceptoangel]

dude i got this and its freaking amazing.. but I'm an old school gamer.. i just got it because it's very small / portable and i only buy psclassic games (resident evil 2, final fantasy IX, chrono cross, chrono trigger, etc). So for me it was totally worth it.

[ultimateuploader77]

SOOOOOOO......................­.IT SUCKS

[BlurPLUR]

Good dat there's no umd or watevr u call it cuz they always broke :P

[PancakeTVHD]

getting for christmas!!

[cvzxcbcvbcxvbn]

Do i get this i dont really want the Vita i had A PSP before but i lost all the UMD's so what do i go with this or the DSi

[beepleboop99]

I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD GET ONE?

[42RANGA]

whats better a psp go or 3000??

[edward2408able]

i will get this on thurday!! yeah baby!!

[warwick2155]

this review was a while back, there is much more games available now. I got the warriors (one of my favourite games) for only 9 bucks. the only bad thing i have to say about psp go and having to download is the games are a little pricy (some of them) and some games are only available in US like resident evil 2 which is very annoying, im hoping this will be changed soon

[benjaminkingsland00]

You suck ha ha suckers.

[1ioscar]

ONLY BUY IT IF U HAVE WIFI. So back off haters!!!

[MonopolyIsAwesome]

@1ioscar yeah , wi-fi is fun to use on devices and is a big thing to have. like on a ipod touch , ipad etc..

[achosi]

1.The psp go now costs 130$ on amazon

2.custom firmware is now avalible

3.i dont car if the screen is smaller at least now i can pu it in my pocket

4.u dont need to remove the battery to instal cfw

5.u can run emulators on cfw (n64,ps1,snes...)

so why not by it ??????

[alexcoozy]

i want this console!!!

[zztop5911]

gosh! i can't wait for the psp vita!!!

[altairistheeagle]

[0x28]

people_being_paid_to_make_up_u­seless_marketing_bullshit.exe

[DustinJFLIPNOTES]

i have one of those. what sucks is that it doesn't have a UMD slot to insert games ala the PSP 1000 to 3000.

[lanelite2828]

@DustinJFLIPNOTES who needs that when u can hack it and get them for free....

[dbay22]

damit i just got it for free though but damit somepeople dont got wifi oh well ill just play god of war for now

[simbathewildcat]

@dbay22 how did you get it for free D:

[dbay22]

@simbathewildcat gift

[lmnop821]

"Sexy" niqquh you gay ! How the fuck are you gonna think a game console is "Sexy".

[masterman451]

I used to have the psp 2000 psp 3000 and the psp go then i droped the 2000 onder the car and never saw it again???

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

why do they always say the analog stick is in an awkward position on the go? I find it to be in an easy to use spot.

[MLGxShaggy]

its $160 at walmart that comes with Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, Little Big Planet, and SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3 on a media go DVD. plus the Rockband Unplugged Lite voucher..its beast.

[zaguan5656]

this thing needs 3g

[dimithryv]

you can preorder the playstation vita on walmart website for 249 or 299

[cplhicks4744]

@dimithryv wtf who the hell would get it at wallmart gamestop has everything 4 the same price sum times even lower

[TwistrTot33]

I really dont like the psp3000 so I'm pretty excited

[myunicorniseatingme]

Does the psp have mp3?



[cookiemonster1000100]

can you buy the games in stores?? I don't have cables or wifi

[efiization]

this electronic device is my dream 2 get it....

[astec23]

i asked from a game store here in the Philippines if I could play UMD games on the PSP go, he said that you just need to modify your PSP go, and then you can play UMD games on it,, also, Piracy is a big thing here in the Philippines, there is a game catalog on which most of the PSP games are available, for a Very Very cheap price(a game doesnt exceed a dollar) so,, should I buy this PSP go??

[DarkOp14]

@astec23 how much are you willing to pay??? if u wait you can get the kickass playstation vita!!!??

[DTeKDeV]

Wait. Why did Sony take the battery out to prevent piracy? You know why? Because its possible to put the PSP 3000 into service mode,

[EstaJoshuaKyle]

@rabidrabids let me rephrase you Next Generation Portable (NGP) is the best portable game system out there. But it's not yet released and is going to be released around the fourth quarter of 2011.

[wassup344]

atlast a Video of 4 minutes xD

[renzolion12]

Piracy FTW!

[1992jenks]

guys i need help. i have only ever had the original PSP and it got robbed :/ im looking to replace but i dont know whether to get a PSP go or not. the UMD isnt an issue as they were all stolen and i just think that having all your games on the PSP handy. should i get a PSP go or 3000?

[maninthemirrortable]

@1992jenks depends.

PSP go: portability.

psp 3000 easier to play for long periods of time i think, since there is more to grip and more space on the hardware (buttons, screen)

Also, there's the price. With the psp 3000, u can buy second-hand UMDs and the unit itself is cheaper. psp go is all download from psn, so you need download time, AND there's no retail value for the games themselves. I'd still go for the psp go though:D

[1992jenks]

@maninthemirrortable thanks this helped. considering i can get a brand new psp go for £100 with the 10 free games i think ill go for that. and not having to slug around a load of games with me is a major plus

[maninthemirrortable]

@1992jenks lucky! good thing you live on that continent:D np

[1992jenks]

@maninthemirrortable haha i know right!

[DTeKDeV]

fuck NGP, I'm getting a GameBoy Advance!

[DavetzWin]

You can't claw with this in MH, so it sucks.

[raguna098]

@DavetzWin

yeah playing monster hunter would be hard :((

[megamanex11111]

combat piracy? that went well didnt it lol

[GamersRevengeUK]

thumbs up if you cant wait for NGP!

[emanuelvparedes]

240p ftw



[UFCMexicanFighter1]

Too bad they discontinued the makings of the psp go in order to make ngp's

[TheHashaq]

anyone wanna buy a pspgo? go to craigslist annarbor (michigan) elctronics and its under monday, apr,18 PSP GO 16GB WITH CLEAR CASE AND SOFT COVER.

[radicalipodtouch]

[geoxcountry06]

I am going to try to sell my psp 3000 it includes the memory stick and littlebigplanet game. I won it on a raffle so its in pretty good condition :). sweet deal huh?

[BIGKRISPRODUCTIONS20]

what happens if it breaks do you basically lose every thing you downloaded?and you lose your money? if thats the case then im just gona get the other psp the 3000 one \

[PS3Crusader]

@BIGKRISPRODUCTIONS20 if it breaks and you buy a new one just log onto the psn account from where you downloaded then your stuff will be redownloadable

[thehamsterplanet]

[ComradeMagnum]

@thehamsterplanet because that wouldn't fit in you pocket? Not that the PSP1/3000 really fits in your pocket

[Tom27056]

[Tom27056]

@ThePurpleDrumStick This is £79.99 on play not sure about this pricing on the 3000 but this looks alot nicer all in all

[ALCblackout2460]

@ThePurpleDrumStick wait till noveber bcause the NGPis coming

[ALCblackout2460]

[paullevesque]

Should i buy this brand new 16gb black for only 99$ CA??

[it8860]

i like psp go but i have psp 3004, so for me psp 3004 is better becauze it have space for UMD disk!

[extremeUify]

Hey.. Help!!!!!!

Im thinking about getting a PSP Go or PSP 2000.

Im going to be most likely using it for CFW for my backup games and music.. etc..

Please Respond! Thanks in Advance!

[HmongZboy]

im gonna wait for the new PSP NGP

[MegaPacman25]

the only thing i do not like about getting rid of the umd some games you can not download on the psn like call of duty roads to victory and ect. but i still love my go

[Darklinkzelda]

I got a PSP 1000, and the other day my friend wanted to trade me his ceramic white PSP Go and I was like hellllll no.

[Talesoffan1]

Hey you're wrong the PSP-3000 has more battery power than the PSPgo and the battery for the PSP-3000 has 1200 mAh while the PSPgo has 930 mAh that's a lot less power than the PSP-3000.

[AlirazaVideoGames]

why do companies hate piracy so much? the playstation WON the console war BECAUSE OF PIRACY. sometimes you have to give things away to establish yourself. PS2 games were pirated, and gamecube were not, which meant more people could easily get ps2 and this is why ps2 took off far easier. who is going to spend $275 (tax brings it to this much) to buy a basic handheld? this should be $199 at MOST.

[0ddzZz]

@AlirazaVideoGames That's probably the most dumb question I've ever heard. If everyone pirated video games, video game developers wouldn't make any money, therefore there would no longer be any video games. And by the way, the PSP GO is 199.99 now, not 275.

[AlirazaVideoGames]

@0ddzZz i didn't say everyone should pirate. i am saying you need a certain amount of piracy to get your software out there in the huge sea of bloatware that exists out there. it's a necessary evil. like prostitution. and porn. well not porn. THAT isn't evil :)

[0ddzZz]

@AlirazaVideoGames Oh well, they will figure out ways to stop pirating one day. I do admit though, I torrent movies, but I will never torrent games because I love them too much!! :D

[AlirazaVideoGames]

@0ddzZz i actually own the arcade boards for street fighter alpha series and marvel vs. capcom but guess what? those arcade boards commit something called "CPS suicide" where they destroy themselves automatically for no reason other than poor construction. so in this case, i use capcom's NEBULA. also on emulation you get cheats and hacks not possible on originals PLUS graphic upgrades like transparencies in sprites that were not there in the original. piracy is a necessary evil in the industry

[TheJ0ker1992]

@AlirazaVideoGames

If they were to start saying its Ok to pirate games,

you could pretty much guarantee, there'd be allot

more of it. The only reason there isn't as much,

is probably due to the fact its illegal.

Besides I'm pretty sure if you were to sell a product,

you would also try to avoid copyright, especially if

you own a company such as Sony, which is all about

making as much money as possible.

[Zomb1eX]

@AlirazaVideoGames its a lot better than you you think! also you can get any game for free on ANY console..

[AlirazaVideoGames]

@Zomb1eX yes i understand...

[Zomb1eX]

@AlirazaVideoGames :D

[cplhicks4744]

@AlirazaVideoGames because if everyone pirated games companies would not get any money

[teenaz1971]

@AlirazaVideoGames it is 199.99 now

[maniamaster2]

@AlirazaVideoGames The console is NOT where the companies make the most money. They rack up cash through the games. People spend WAY more money on games than they do consoles. So, more people may have bought the PS2, but Nintendo made way more money because of the game sales.

[AlirazaVideoGames]

@maniamaster2 i said ESTABLISH YOURSELF. that's right. without consoles, who cares about amazing software? you need to make sure everyone first has a console - YOUR console - so you legitimize piracy first, then reign it in when everyone has your system in their home. windows was very happy everyone was pirating their software back in the day, otherwise mac would have had the market share today.

[AlirazaVideoGames]

@maniamaster2 i missed the part where you said nintendo made way more money because of the game sales. from what i can remember, the N64 was DEAD in the middle of ps2's life. if it wasn't for pokemon and their handheld which had all the market share (no competition from psp, apple ipod touch, cellphone gaming like today, etc), nintendo would have taken a huge financial hit.

[ThatGirlRochelle]

hate the psp go. Bought it new from amazon on the release date and the thing had a dead pixel line going straight through the top of the screen! And I couldn't even return it :(

Its pretty much the same as the 3000. Same graphics, same web browser features. Just new design and bluetooth. And eventually it gets annoying and u wanna slide it down to play but u cant. It must always be open

[lucky7kike]

fuck you

[MRxLAGGER]

The PSP Go was designed to be a pocket friendly. This is a good system for people who don't like bringing big stuffs with them. Well for those other people who like big systems they should go for the psp 2000, 3000. What else matter when you just want to play games right? All systems are "HACKABLE". What I dont like about the GO is the battery life.

[j7512]

The problem with this is that when 10 years time the psp games and movies become collectable there are no collcetables for the PSP Go.

[MrLeonard4242]

oke everyone have his own thought

[TheExtraCoffee]

best. review. eveeeeeer.



[MrLeonard4242]

I HATE GO

I LOVE 3000

[osamanadeem007]

[teamdoa]

Good review.

[yourtube1234567]

The only reason I'll buy this is for the Final Fantasies

[yourtube1234567]

You know what's bad about buying games for the psp go....YOU NEED INTERNET. and if you don't have a pc....WIRELESS INTERNET.

why can't sony make new things that make you earn trophies?

[brittanyS123]

if they had a pokemon game for this then id buy it but blahh of course they dont. :[

[asianquickhand]

Has the Sony Store have all the PSP games now?

[f945y685ug5uy5]

fuck you man i have better then this i have it white and not 14 GB i have 32

[popocacahead]

i love my psp go 1 cuz its a good grip 2 because instead of driving to the store you can jst get your game instantly 3 some games are more cheap 4 instead of spending a whole hour looking for movies disk at gamestop they have them on ps net and 5 more memory than ever

[reggiardito]

What does the PSP go does instead of reading UMDs?

[TheSerialGuru]

see if you find my review helpful techvstech.netai(dot)net/Games­/PSP%20Go.html

sorry if you consider this spam im just showing opinions from other people too

[WrestlingSpoilerz]

Fuck Sony!!! They Said Digital Download Is A Bad Thing Because The Game Take Too Long To Download So PSP NGP Will Have Game Cartridges Like The Ds.. Why The Fuck Did They Make The GO If Download Is A Bad Thing!!!!!! Thanks For Wasting People Money Sony

[Bleach11129613]

@WrestlingSpoilerz because they thought it would work but it didnt they took a chance with the go and lost so now they learned from thier mistake and now we have the psp ngp.

[WrestlingSpoilerz]

@Bleach11129613 yeah your right i guess thats true because they are not doing a download system anymore

[yourtube1234567]

@WrestlingSpoilerz

LOL, why type something Sony isn't going to read?

And depending on what internet, like time winner, you have it doesn't take a long time to download something.

[WrestlingSpoilerz]

@yourtube1234567 i hope your right because my brother has a go and i know 4 other people who had one or had it. They say the download speed is extremely show on Big Games like God Of War. Madden. GTA. It kills the battery

[Da666Viper]

the psp2 is unveiled

[aswad368]

so he's saying u cant buy game 4 it? u have to download it? plz need a quick reply i wna get 1

[TheBallernation]

@aswad368 YEA DOWNLOAD ONLY

[aswad368]

@TheBallernation huh?? how can you download it??? do you need internet??? what if you don't have internet?

so how can you download it?

[TheBallernation]

@aswad368 it has psn store on the game that you get games movies tv show and and you would need wifi and a CC or psn card which is like a itunes card but for playstation.If you dont have wifi then you cant use it .Then you would need to get a psp 3000 which you can use umb that you buy at walmart gamestop omost any where that sells video games. The only thing is that a psp go has a 16 GB memory and a psp 3000 has none so you whould need a memory stick to save stuff. hope this helps

[aswad368]

@TheBallernation thanks 4r replying, but what a cc?

[TheBallernation]

@aswad368 credit card and i fogot to add it can you use debit card but i would use the psn card i think its safer becaue they keep you credit card info

[aswad368]

@TheBallernation So you have to pay to download games?

[TheBallernation]

@aswad368 no you just pay for the games downloading is free

[711MetallicaFan]

dude 250 bucks? just a few days ago i got the God of War: Ghost of Sparta PSP Bundle for $199.99 you get a sexy black and red PSP 3000 with 2 games: god of war ghost of sparta and god of war chains of olympus. you also get the movie Kick-Ass on a UMD and you get a 2GB memory stick. screw the psp go buttons seem way to cramped not to mention you can download full psp games to your psp 3000's memory stick

[XxSPONGEBOBxXROCKZ]

i cant belive i bought this crap :(

[yourtube1234567]

@XxSPONGEBOBxXROCKZ

Are you going to sell it?

[ShrubliiPrudukchinz]

i dont care wut u say that thing is awesome

[Skytheater]

PSP Go is good in portabiity. It sucks in every other way. You have to pay full price for all games, and still have no case or instruction. Much less selection on games and can't Shop in store for games, battery life can't be replaced, No Trading, reselling or getting used games. Its the PSP NO!

[desmond3107]

thanks for this review but my psp 2000 is not workin prop so i am planning to take this go as it is portable you forgot to say some things like we can use the mobiles internet to connect to internet on the go usefull for downloading themes or softwares

[dumbywithabat21]

i have the original psp, and it fits comfortably in my pocket

[gam3r3602]

I'm guessing it's not as good because games are always full price on the ps store...

[DarkHercules213]

Ok, I'm new to the whole psp consoles. I'm thinking about getting it because i wanna play games like kingdom hearts:birth by sleep, and Final fantasy:Crisis Core. should i get the original psp, psp 2000 or psp3000?

[XscXps3]

Well that looks better than my psp 1000

[JugeZaLawYaHaZa]

Ugh this thing sucks love my God of War GOP psp pack ;)

[AAG671]

So much money for this smaller shit???...

[acuidad]

5 measly hrs. of battery life? Way to defeat the purpose of it being a MULTImedia device. That's why I could never stomach a PSP - what good is cramming all those capabilities onto the PSP and you only have around FIVE pathetic hrs. to try and enjoy them all?! PATHETIC. -_- You would think after 4 iterations of PSP they would at the very least fix this trivial problem. :P

[SamusDrake]

The PSP GO is a machine before its time. A PSP title is designed for a 1.5GB format(UMD), so even a mighty 16GB internal storage will not last long before you have to whip out the Memory sticks.

I think downloadable games should have been left off until the 3DS and PSP2 generation...

[ernnay09]

its about 200 now and they come with digital game packs with three games including Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3, and LittleBigPlanet all free

[TickleMyMitchellLink]

shoulda been touch screen,

[Regizap]

@TickleMyMitchellLink it would be good, but it would make it more like a DS, which people wont want

[Garyxl4]

Holly carp NOW THAT PSP 3000 IS 180$ when I buyed the 3000 when it came out it was 300 LOL The pirice whent real DOWN

[NinjaOfTheAwesome]

@Theroguesunit6 ive had my psp for like 3 years......mabye 4 and my charger is still like brand new and it works perfectly

[Theroguesunit6]

Can anyone please tell me how many years psp chargers last

[MegaGOLD13]

i really dont like the psp go.its better but its also not.

[LeBeT909]

i think nobody would not buy the credit card so they did that on the psp go

[SuperLegendkiller21]

i got a psp go for christmas it is black and is cool but i am kind of confused on how to gat games

[slimmyshank23]

i got it for chrismas its black like yours you go to network then playstation store then thats it

[goosbumpsfan]

@SuperLegendkiller21 only on psp store i think

[TheParaxore]

For a little while i was kindof upset I didn't get the GO instead of the 3000, especially because I Bought a 16 gb memory stick duo, seeing as I love being able to download games and I downloaded most of my games i have on it, but after I got Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, Im glad mine can play UMD's XD

[Xirogify]

@TheParaxore i bought a psp go just because i wanted to play Birth by Sleep, when they said it wasn't going to be for the PSP Go, i was like, dying. But now, i hacked my PSP Go, and i'm able to play Birth by Sleep, epic game.

[DieFledermaus20]

@TheParaxore Kingdom Hearts? You mean people actually like that garbage?

[UltimateGamer600]

@DieFledermaus20 Everybody loves kh u just h8r

[UltimateGamer600]

[youngcrazy435]

[GamerGizm0]

[HardRock2Day]

Geez people. I get it. It's not 250 anymore! Stop replying to me about this. thank you! :)

[Sonicisunleashed2008]

Im waiting for the rumored PSP 2 that has been said to have near PS3 like graphics. It's probably not true but the possibility is there
