Japan's PlayStation Network offering PC Engine games

3000 of course. UMDs will always be cheaper eventually. I'm not so sure about downloadable games.

Also, i'm not sure if all of the great PSP games already out will make it to the store.

I'm pretty sure that the UMD's won't be cheaper unless you buy them used.

"Are there any benefits to the Go! other than the size?"

absolutely not, and i would go as far to say that isn't even a benefit. go for the 3000. umds will come down in price. it's cheaper, it has a bigger screen, and it plays EVERY old psp game right out of the box. the go! is a BIG mistake by sony and anyone that buys one is a sucker. they don't know it yet, but they are, trust me, i'm a doctor....

Well, Jeanne D'arc is on PSN right now, and I think it's cheaper then in stores. I would prefer the electronic copy then the physical one I have.

I'd go Go personally, but then again, I have a PSP2k and I don't think I would want to upgrade it at all.

Jeanne D'arc is $20 at gamestop, and that doesn't even include a potential buy 2 get 1 free sale.

On top of that, electronic games have no resell value. They're a big mistake for retail games.

Go! is a bad choice, simple as that. I've ehard it's annoyign to hold too, since the design isn't very good.

And btw, i'm a Sony fanboy ;). The Go! just sucks.

bluetooth and the ability to expand it's flash memory are pretty much it's only other advantages

Punisher if your buying a used game cheap at $20 dollars theres already no resell value.

Are you really gonna miss your $3 dollar trade ins from gamestop? really?

It's personal taste really. I'd go with the Go!, but that's largely because I think the previous designs are ugly and I love pretty things. I also never liked the UMD drive.

- The 3000 will be cheaper, have a UMD drive (so ALL old games are compatible), little flash memory (need to upgrade if your going to download largish games, which approximately evens the price. FF7 won't fit without expansion)
- the Go! will have a higher starting price, have more flash memory but no UMD drive (most games will eventually be available, and you won't be able to sell them or rent them, you're stuck with buying).

you can't buy used games with a go

i would wait until the psp go comes out and see if someone hacks it

thats me though.

Well, I'm getting a Go but I also already have a PSP-1000. Basically Go is pretty much the line in the sand to see if a digital distribution market can work for people living outside of the mass of sloppy blowjobs hanging loosely from Steve Jobs crotch....

Brick and mortar support for PSP games is all but dead.

Plus, as arness's post implies, it also stands as Sonys desperate attempt to get PSP owners to ACTUALLY PAY for some fucking games once in a while. How dare they, I know....

As to which one you ultimately choose, I'd wait until some REAL reviews come out on Go. Because the hands-on from E3 have been largely positive even if fantarded smackbillies have been raging against it. Most people talking about the system have read, at most, a paragragh, hated the price and the concept of actually having to pay for games, and went from there. Once it's in peoples hands, the REAL question on if Go is worth it will be answered.

if you use gamestop your a idiot.
Goozex.com FTW!!!

That's a tough decision, but I'd have to side with the 2/3000 supporters. I buy a lot of new-but-old PSP games from amazon, etc for $15 or less. I cannot ever see that happening to the digital copies. In fact, looking at the current store where nearly every game offered can be found complete and new for cheaper, I'm having a hard time warming up to the Go.

Also, I use the extended life battery kit for my 2000 series. It's the greatest accessory ever made for any portable console ever.

I loved Chase HQ in the arcades. Rolling Thunder too for that matter!

I remember Tiger Heli from NES :) Awesome game.

it is also on the sonic's ultimate genesis collection... a must have for any old time sonic fan...

ARE YOU BLACK!!!!


j/k

shit happens

"Hours ago." As in the middle of the night? Do you really expect bloggers to jump on your hot tip (the hot tip that was sent out as a press release from Sony), at 3:30 in the morning?

Douchetool.

Yeah I know, but this is happening many times and also consecutively.
I think its because I correct some blog entries here.
So no their pissed or something :p

Don't ever expect Nintendo anything on a Sony console. Unless you've modded said console.
