Im creating this post because im tired of being teased by sexy pictures of a Sony portable. Im tired because I cannot bring myself to pay more than what I would for a Wii or an Xbox 360 Premium + game for a handheld that costs more than im willing to pay for a phone which could be lost/broken/stolen.

STOP IT!!!!

Its a shame

I have yet to buy a modern handheld. My last was the original Gameboy which still works incidentally.

The PSP was always a no go for me as it was too big to be considered portable. It was almost the same weight as my original GB.

The PSP Go solves all these problems but then introduces a new one.

The price is way way too high.

I will buy one but only when the price is around 150 USD.

I appreciate this means a wait but like I said my GB still works. Tetris anyone ?

@ Rainbird - Good post, i agree with all your comments. I think i'll be getting one.

Only thing i'm not happy about is the price, but then again, i did get the 1000 on release when i was still a student and i could afford it then.

@ Complainers - ok, quit your whining children. so it's not what you want, give it up and get a 3000 or DS instead.

Always good to come in here, and see people give the Go! some credit

I cant wait to get my PSP Go

I can't wait for the GO! to come out, I just want that smaller sexier design!!!

I have to admit this article and that picture in particular has swayed my opinion of the PSP Go slightly and I'm starting to think it might not be so bad.

I have a question: Do you have to have a PS3 to download PS1 games to this? If I got this I would want to play FFT (the original and the PSP remake) on it but I do not have (nor do I plan to get) a PS3.

I believe this was written by Rainbird, and he used sources to back up his points. I'm glad he did, because I was also rather sick of defending the PSP Go from everyone who doesn't seem to realize that it isn't a bad idea at all.

There is a PSP store, and I am almost positive that you can download PS1 games from it, provided you have access to a wireless connection. I've only been on the PSP store once, since I don't have wireless, but even if you can't, you should be able to download anything from your PC and load it onto the PSP. (Only problem there is I hear they had to use something other than a USB mini port...? Maybe? I'm not sure on that.)

I'm pretty sure you can download PS1 games from both the PC and PSP Store, and the new Media Go software should make it easier to use your PSP with your PC, and you get a USB cable with your PSP Go! so connecting the two wont be a problem.
