Go save $40 on the PSP Go at Amazon.com

so your saying you already have a psp? so this doesn't affect you right? where i'm from we call people like you a hater.

yeah, it's really easy to hate the PSPgo.
it's not a meritless device, but it's not worth the price tag. especially if you already have a PSP 1000, 2000, or 3000.

of course it's pointless if you already have psp!

that reminds me of the movie, My Blue Heaven with Steve Martin...

"Why do you have 25 of the same book?"
"so I can read it more than once!"

I might add its also pointless if EVER want full access to the complete list of psp system titles, as a decent number of the titles released before they started trying to cram "DIGITAL DOWNLOAD IS THE WAY OF THE FUTURE" down our thoughts, will never be released as such.

So if your a pocketless mutant strung out on ADD and sugar who doesn't care about access to all the PSP games or that its a shameless exercise in planned obsolescence, by all means, jump on it.

Personally, I really like the go and have wanted one since my 1000 left to meet its maker a few months back, but Its really hard to justify at that price and i would miss my back catalogue of games, to be sure. But fankly, as a college student, I never used my PSP a whole lot for games. I mean it played games very well, but it did music, internet, and so much more than if I had bought some other device. It was icing on the cake and thats who the go is for: people who use their PSP for multimedia AND THEN games, and this price is really rather enticing, although still $10 too high in my book.

That said, no matter what prices drop to I am waiting until after E3 to see what sony pulls. If they announce some new PSP iteration (as they always do) then It'll probably be better than the go, or at least drive the price of the go down a bit.

A PSP 3000 is $170...

Dammit, I check the prices of everything except the most important one. Figures.

To be fair, Amazon is the only place I can find that has the card at

Yeah ..... but even if it was there is a slight flaw in the logic

The PsPGo needs that 16 gigs because you NEED to store the games on the system

The PsP 3k doesn't need the 16gigs because well it uses UMDs so it can easily get along with a 1-4gig stick for ~$10-20...... and I think the are around $170 these days.

So that sorta makes the for comparable memory its the same price or slightly more expensive argument moot, Simply because the 1k, 2K and 3K don't require that much memory to pull off running the games, storing the DLC and whatever misc Movie and Music files you toss at them.

No arguments are moot. If I had a normal PSP I would NEED 16GB because I don't want to be carrying a stack of UMDs around (with or without cases). Also, by installing the games on the system, I wouldn't NEED to use the slow optical drive, I could use the faster flash memory.

On top of that, if you fill up the 1GB card, then you need to get a second one... more bits to carry around...

supposing someone wanted to trade-in and upgrade, as opposed to buying something all new?

are you saying if somebody wanted a new psp? or if they wanted a second one?

i think it's cause most people bought the black, probably overstock or something. i don't know anybody who bought the white one.

I would prefer the white one anyone. The pspgo is sexier in white. I have a black one only because there wasnt white ones available during christmas time.

*anyway. Oops.
