@Sarge: You are certainly free to resell your UMD games if you want. But you will need to keep in mind that if you do so, the developers that you like won't be making any more money off of GameStop's USED GAMES sales. You're not the only one who has 25 UMD titles for the PSP and the PSP Go simply isn't being marketed towards users like us.
Like you, I also prefer to have physical copies for my games out of sheer habit. The problem I see with the Go right now is that the back-end system that supports this isn't as well developed as I'd like, but Sony has to start somewhere with this and the Go is that platform.
You have to remember that this generation is the first time that Sony has gone online with digital retail and networks. Valve's Steam distribution network itself had problems of its own when it first launched as did Microsoft's Xbox Live network.
The way I see it is that Sony has to start somewhere, even if it means stumbling around. All I can say about the Go at this point is "god speed". It'll need a lot of marketing support and corporate leadership/vision to pave its way in the digital market.
