Buy an iPod nano, they're cheap and do their job well. You don't need something like a Zune HD to go jogging with and the PSP Go as you said, is definitely not worth he extra cash + the stripped features just so you can have it for jogging.

nah its not a bad move on my part. I can alwyas return it which I will right after work...
Pardon me for assuming that it would use Sonys proprietary memory format. They introduced in in 2005 only. Most people upgrading from PSP to PSP go will assume the same. Its like upgrading from PS3 to PS3 slim and learning your old controller won't work with it.
Its a bad move on sonys part by forcing the user to upgrade their memory cards for sony products 4 years after introducing them.

In his defence, you'd assume that it still used the same memory stick as the standard PSP. I mean Sony have been shoving the stupid things down consumers throats for years!
Why does it some pople so long to realize that Sony do suck when they come dominating markets

lol, true but I need a media player for many other things.
1. Watching movies at work when there is nothign to do
2. surfing the web when i find a hot spot
3. Gaming when traveling
Why can't these companies get 1 device that does eveyrthing and is small enough to fit in 1 hand?
We need a cell phone + viable gaming platform + video player + internet browser + music player. I phone doesn't count...as I can't play anything worthwhile on that device.
Sorry about that dude.
I knew that the PSP GO use micro memory sticks and I have no intention of getting one.
With all due respect I thought it was common knowledge, like being UMDless, obviously not.
Oh well.

Yes. But I can always get my money back plus i tend to be pretty busy... don't have time to talk to sales guys and ask them 100 questions.

I actually never knew it used a micro-memory stick, I think before this everything I've read has just said memory card/stick or SD card.

It's not using the same optical format. That was removed completely.
It's not using the same wire for file transfers OR battery charging. They went with a proprietary USB format instead of Mini-5B.
It's not using the same battery. Going with a new built in non-removable battery.
These three well known differences alone would have me asking "What else is different?"
