of current and future games

 

Also accessories are no compatible,  both will be sold simultanously, both will have full support according to sony and most games will still be released on UMD along PSN store, but anyway PSN store is available for both and both can get digiral content.

 

 

Ok , WHY WOULD ANYONE BUY A PSP GO? someone explain me, why give US$80 way for the same thing? if you are thinking about buying this, why do you think it will give you a different expiriance? it all comes doen to the size reduction but, should this translate to a price reduction since is now cheaper to make?  

 

All this bring us to one logical conclusion as long as the 3000 is available PSP GO will fail in sales if the price is not dropped

 

First.  At least get the specs right.

PSP Go Feartures:

Memory Stick M2

3.8" screen

 

Second. It's probably not the unit for you.  It's definitely the unit for me though.  The UMD format would have been good IF they had fully supported with a large range of products at launch.  Like mini movie players (like those palmtop dvd players), recordable/re-writable UMD drives for computers, PS3 usable, etc.  As it stands it sucks.  I would much rather just download the game to my computer and put it on the PSP as needed.  With a 16GB M2 stick and the 16GB onboard id have all the games I needed day to day, and when I wanted to I could swap out as needed as well.

The PSPGO 16GB is more portable, less cumbersome, and not stuck with a dead format.
