I see a problem here.  The problem is their lower priced unit has greater functionality then the more expensive unit.  You do get a smaller system, that is lighter, and it comes with internal memory, but LESS functionality.  You don't have the UMD, for one thing.  And anyone care to explain why there isn't a second analog stick on the Go?  You CAN code games so they either use them or they don't.  It is to cop out stating "isolating" your original owners.  You do the same here.

So, all of a sudden, UMD adds more functionality for PSP?

I remember people used to claim UMD is the worst thing that could happen to PSP: slow loading, battery consumption, size....

What's the point of releasing a PSP Go with UMD?

To satisfy the people who don't get what the GO is for. I really don't know what the problem is other than price. The GO is DD only, but the 3k will be sold along side the GO for people who would rather buy the UMD. Removing the UMD and making it more portable is a good move since they are still supporting the 3k. New consumers looking for a PSP would choose the GO over the 3k because it is more portable, there's a possibility of extended battery life, and you don't have to carry around UMDs with you. Sony didn't release the GO for people who already have a PSP exclusively. I will say once again that the only problem I see with the GO is the price.
