Now for the more obvious flaws:
- fewer features than previous PSPs, but at a crazy high price (250 EUR in Europe, that's 365 USD)
What fewer features???

fewer features like not being able to play the UMDs we bought, or use duo sticks to expand memory, and needing to buy a retarded dongle for any addons 

- DRM'd games are sold for up to 40 USD online
Games are sold for up to 40 USD at retail... this makes no sense to me...

having to rebuy games and not have some sort of transfer or trade in policy by sony

 

- built-in battery that can't be replaced
Pandora battery. Blame users, not SONY for trying to protect their money.

I blame sony it was a design choice, but honestly i dont care about this one, i support built in batteries makes for cleaner design... but dont blame users 

- smaller screen than previous PSPs
Also more crisp

eh wash in my mind both are true

- unergonomic, cramped controls (especially the L/R buttons)
Personal preference. I find the DSLite quite uncomfortable. Most people say it's fine.

I think unergonomic is a fiar complaint, but the psp has always tended to comfort in smaller hands, clears sony hates those of us with large hands

- old, outdated and error prone wireless protocol (802.11b)
The old models are better?

should have upgraded it to G or N, you dont get points by staying in the past

- downloads can't be resumed and take forever
And the old platforms are better?? You can redownload your stuff. Also use a pc or ps3 for the downloads.

this should be fixed thats a big freaking problem, we should not have to lean on pc/or home console for functionality 

- PSP can't be used for anything else while downloading
The old models are better?

actually yea I can i had to open my first gen psp to check but i can do background downloading while watching a tv show, cool, didnt know i could do that

- proprietary plug instead of USB as in previous PSPs, need to buy special Sony cord

Buy??? IT FUCKIN COMES WITH IT!!!

goes back to the eliminating all peripherals you may have bought for the psp, need that freaking adapter to use them, but at least sony made the adapter, unlike what it did for umd

It is beyond me how this abomination managed to make it out into he wild (well, at least into those stores who don't boycott it for obvious reasons). It doesn't reflect well on a company to release a product like this. And if you buy a PSP Go at this point, it doesn't reflect well on your state of mind.

What am I supposed to say here??? Sorry we have different gaming preferences??? Sorry if the Go fits my needs and not yours??? Sorry if I like a product and you don't??

 

The majority of your complaints are a current psp owner upgrading or purchasing a Go, if you would stop and think about the psp-Go you would realize it is meant to appeal to new customers, appeal to the ipod/iphone users, appeal to the casual crowd, appeal to those who like the digital distruption.

 

Now after you take that into consideration then the psp-Go does its job.

no, as an ipod iphone crowd member im used to being forced into upgrading, but never am i forced out of my content. 

as i said earlier it is clear that sony is trying to copy apple but they do a fail job of it by not have an at least temporary plan for content movement between the too. it is an unnecessary device that is a money grab with no real advantage over the prior model unless you consider size an advantage, honestly its far more crippled with the 16gb of space (really sony you clouldnt have doubled that, or you know let us use our memory stick duos )
