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 
no UMD is kinda the point. 16Gb's internal from the get go is the replacement to the PSP+Memstick combo. Then you have the option of adding more.

- 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 

 

Again, this is only affecting upgraders. SONY isn't looking at the upgrading crowd for this device. And it's clear they don't intend for the Go to be the bulk of sales.


- 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 

 

Yes. A design choice that went horribly wrong. nothing to do now but to correct it.

- 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- old, outdated and error prone wireless protocol (802.11b)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 

I'll give you this one. 

- 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 

True. but the system comes with the disc for media go. So i think it's clear SONY wants you to use PC. I also doubt the crowd that buys the PSPGo doesn't own a PS3 or PC... that would be wierd... 


- 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
Never seen or heard about this b4. and I've had two PSP Phats and a 2001 model. Can you show me a vid of this being done or something?? Also, is your psp running custom fw?

- 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??

 

Apple doesn't continue  manufacturing the older models like SONY plans to do with PSP3000 and UMD's. That would leave you to believe the Go's for new comers, not upgraders. There's no doubt that SONY wants the iPhone/Touch crowd to look at the product but I doubt that's the on purpose of the system and i doubt it's the main focus either.
