I got a free PSP Go from work. I'm honestly confused on what to do with it.

Playing games maybe?

Hmm, where to insert the UMD?  What?!!, I have to buy the game again?

Lol... QFT.

Funny but true.  What was Sony thinking?  I didn't like the UMD initially in the first PSP.  But you remove it and give no facility for people to convert their UMD to digital license.  On top of that, you make the UMD less PSP Go MORE expensive than the PSP.  How many PSP Go have they sold?  250K?  I think the PSP GO will be swept under the rug in a year.  I hate to be the person at Sony who thought the PSP Go was a good idea.

Heh, sorry didn't see your post.  I'm determined to give it a shot first.  I haven't played any PSP games since Crisis Core.

I haven't used my PSP in a while so I decided to power it up and update it and to test out a few movies files.  To my frustration, I couldn't get it on the wireless network I had at home when I realized I had updated my network to 802.11N and 802.11B on the PSP was no longer supported.

No problem I thought, I'll use the PS3 as an access point.  But the the PS3 access point only allows you to access the PS3, it didn't allow me to get on the internet, just the local PS3 for remote play nor can you remotely install over the wireless the games I bought on PSN for the PSP.

The PSP GO is such a half baked idea, I'm not even considering it.  And it still support 802.11B only.

Honestly Sony, if you want my money, you need to update the basic PSP or have the PSP2 out soon.  The PSP platform is dying and the PSP Go was a waste of time and money.  The PSP started out as a great platform but it hasn't gone anywhere in the last 2 years other than to get slimmer/smaller. /rant

What kind of wireless N router do you have? Most of them should be backwards compatible with 802.11B.

I thought so too but the Dlink DIR-655 does not have 802.11B.  Just N and G.
