Yes get it, it's worth it, don't listen to psp haters

PSP haters? Most of the people in the thread are telling him to buy a PSP! They are just telling him not to buy a Go, but to buy a 3000 instead. It's still a PSP.

@OP: Have you tried using the Go or at least testing out an in-store model? If not then I would say definitely go and try it first before you buy it.

Personally, I found the Go to be too small and very cramped for my hands (I have small hands as well). The analog "stick" was pretty awful as well, I thought. I ended up going with a 3000 myself instead or a Go. If you just add a memory stick to a psp 1/2/3000 then you can buy stuff from the PSN store (PS1 games/PSP games, etc.), so it has pretty much the same functionality as Go without being limited to digital dl's only.


I have actually fiddled with the go a little at Best Buy, and it seemed okay I do have relatively large hands though, so it may be an issue. The main issue is the protability and size though. I can handle my DS because I have a nice case that holds the really small cartridges, so it's about the size of a paperback book all said and done. The PSP is so big and UMD's are also big and unwieldy. I want a pocket-sized device with no physical media to worry about, I've become a fan of this due to the iPhone. I appreciate that everyone is looking out for me and wants me to get the best deal, but my concerns are different than what I think a lot of people are thinking.
