PSP 3000 vs PSP Go

The PSP Go is not a good choice. The PSP 3000 does all the same stuff as the PSP Go, and plays UMDs. This is my pro/con list.



PSP-3000
Pros
Big Screen
Chance of hackability is good
Plays UMDs
Plays PSN store games
Cheaper
If you lose your PSP, you don't lose your games
removeable battery

Cons
Large
Above 5.03 OFW - Unhackable


PSP Go
Pros
Portable
16GB built in memory
Cool Save feature (can save your game, exit to the XMB, play music, videos, etc., and resume game from spot left)
Cool clock
Bluetooth
PSN games
Faster game loading speed
Possible UMD support from Logitech


Cons
No removable battery
Expensive
Battery Life sucks
No UMD support currently
pretty much unhackable
small screen
Analog stick in awkward position
No UMD2PSN support (like punching in a serial in PSN to download the game)

BOTH
Pros
Skype
PS3 Connection
Almost a Portable Computer
PSN (has cheap 'minis' around 5 USD)

Cons
Crappy Wireless Speed
Sony blocks hacks

 

hmm I change my mind...I'll go for psp 3000 ~.~

 

PSP 3000 all the way cheaper and you can do more stuff with it

 

i dont find psp go enticing at all. controls look whack!

 

I have the Phat (1000) and the 3000 and the Go. Personally I prefer the Go, IT CAN ACTUALLY FIT IN MY JEANS POCKET!
Everyone else missed out quite a few things about the PSP Go so I'll state it all here.

Cool things about the PSP GO

• MUCH more portable
• Plays HD quality videos
• Best sound quality
• Further Wi-Fi range
• No need for the hastle of UMD's
• Impossible to lose games, and even if you lose your psp itself you can re-download the game using your PSN
• No screen glare
• 16GB memory pre installed, upto 32GB extra, so 48GB in total.

If I missed out on some, just say so.

Sorry Boba and everyone else who supported psp go but I ended up getting a 3000 because it was much cheaper and a lot easier to deal with.

 

I bought a PSP 3001 and its not TERRIBLY big. I just carry it in my bag and take it out to play when I'm bored. I think the 3000 was a great choice. The PSP go is good for when you travel alot.

 

I own a 3000. pspgo cost to much the you cant resell ur games.

 

Dude...all psp's can do those funtions (unless I missed out on something)

-Don't need UMD's-download games (for free if you want)
-Bigger screen on older models
-How much further is the wifi?
-You can download games again...but you could do that on non psn game downloads (or with if you want)



Size does matter...if only for function.


I use a backpack and hold all of my systems in it XD

 

psp go is crap. the controls are horrible. hacking it is too much, and screen is too small. psp 3000 is a better pick. just find n download chick hen exploit.

 

WEAR BIGGER PANTS ;D

My PSP can fit in my pants pockets. Not in the back pockets. Feels kinda awkward though, when I'm walking it feels like the PSP will break if you walk too fast.

And WRONG about the GB. It can only support 16GB extra memory, which is too much money for space that I personally don't use. If someone gave me a PSP Go, and I downloaded all the games I want now that I don't have in UMDs, It would probably take up 6GB.

WRONG about screen glare. PSPs in general have no screen glare. I don't really care if there was, I don't play my PSP in the sun.

If you lose your PSP, what are you gonna do? Buy another one? You also have to go through the hassle of redownloading your games. You still spend a shitload of money. And if you keep your UMDs in a safe place, you won't lose them. If you do, GET ORGANIZED MAN.

All PSPs have HD playing compatibility. The sound is just barely better than the old PSPs. Wifi range is STILL THE SAME (802.1b). Might as well use MediaGo.

Ya know how I know this? My friend let me borrow his brand new PSP Go after school. I told him to sell it.

 

I followed this thread to help me decide as well and i ended up buying a PSP 3000 I just Love it)

 

Glad to have helped

 

With the paid downloads...you can download them again for free, like the virtual console on the wii.


But there is issues, for example I can't re-download my gran turismo exclusive cars again

 

YAY!

 

For what????

 

nothin...

 

PSP 3000 as you can play UMDs. Which you might find reeeeaaaal cheap at like, future shop or some local electronics/game store.

 

PSP Go's a scam.

"It's sliding!!! Yeah!!! Kewl!!!" So what?! It doesn't have a UMD Drive. So, what do I mean? No Kingdom Hearts. I believe it doesn't end on Squeenix.

I will save around $50 more and get a PS3 instead.

 

the GO is smaller and thats a good thing but no UMD drive kills the deal for me personally, i like being able to own a physical copy of my games and having to option to resell them.
