I laughed at the thread title.


I think I'm in the target market for the PSP Go - I want an iPod and a PSP. It would definitely be nice to have one device that act as both devices. It's looking like the Go has too many flaws atm, though. If there's a good hardware revision correcting some issues, I'd probably pick one up.

From my perspective, it looks like the amount of hate the Go is receiving is a bit overdone. I suppose it'd change if I already had an iPod / PSP...

I was in a similar situation over a year ago.  I wanted either an iPod Touch or a PSP - I didn't care to have both as it would be too much to carry around and they both do similar functions.  What it came down to for me was either getting the iPod with a better web browser, or the PSP with better games and a bigger screen.  I ended up choosing a PSP.

If I had to make the same decision again today, I would again pick a PSP.

Don't expect there to be a hardware revision until they release a PSP 2.  The only hardware item I would want them to change would be to add a removable battery, but I don't think that's going to happen.

My only gripe with the PSP Go is the price.  I think it would sell much better at a $199 price point, but I'm sure Sony wants to make a little bit of profit first.
