The editors didn't like
No physical games mean no tradingin or buying used
Media Go is Windows only
Thirdparty companies not required to digitally release games
Black unit is a fingerprint magnet
No matter how you slice it the price is still ridiculously high
Pricier online content
More expensive than older models
Battery no longer removable
Too expensive- Renders your UMD library useless- Renders your accessories useless- Slow WiFi not changed since 2005- Slow game installs with no multitasking
High price
No real improvements
802.11b wireless for a download-only device is not fast enough. Overall
Designed with a specific consumer in mind
Not the average gamer. Some of the reviews of Sony’s PSPgo may leave you with the impression that t...
Expensive. Performance is identical to last PSP model. M2 memory cards. Slow 802.11b. Non-removable battery. Smaller display. No UMD optical drive
If you own PSP UMD titles
They must be repurchased as downloads.
Pricey
No touchscreen
No upgrade path for UMD owners
The controls can be difficult to master because it is so compact.
Actually feels a little too snug
So the PSPgo is harder to slide open
Top flops around a bit when in the open position.
Have a library of PSP games? You're not playing 'em on the PSPgo. No support for old accessories either.
Smudgy black surface
Proprietary power and data connector
Proprietary Memory Stick Micro slot
Smaller screen
Lousy
Unimproved browser
Minor comfort sacrifices due to smaller size
Less flexible than UMD-equipped PSPs
Despite lack of touch screen and second analog stick
Smaller screen (but same resolution)
Awkward placement of analog stick
Volume
And display controls
Unable to play UMD games or use old PSP accessories
Your feelings about the PSP Go will be greatly influenced by whether or not you already have a Sony PSP and/or a lot of disposable income. If you want the latest and the greatest, I can recommend the PSP Go unconditionally. No device is 100% perfect,...
Abstract: I figured instead of reviewing one game in a quick review today, I would time myself, and do a "Quick Review" of every PSP game I downloaded for the Go. Once I'm done, I'm going to assume that everyone is sick and tired of hearing me talk about the Go,...

Abstract: Goodbye, old storage media! Rumored for God knows how long, and teased for months, the Sony PSP Go is finally available at your friendly neighborhood retailer. We have one—well, I have one—and have been playing with it for a couple of days now. As such...
Abstract: The PSP Go may have been the worst-kept secret of this year's E3 show, but Sony's press conference has now supplied the official details. For the most part, there's little that wasn't already revealed the PSP Go is smaller, has a slide-up screen, no UM...
Abstract: Sony's latest stab at a portable handheld, the PSPgo, hits shelves tomorrow. Are you excited? It's so small and cute! The sexy unit landed in the Destructoid Baltimore offices this week, and I spent many hours putting it through its paces. But at $249...

If we were to just take a look at the hardware at face value, we'd say Sony has done some great work here. It's a sturdy, classier game system that we're not as shy about taking out of our pocket on long, public commutes. We really do like the portable, b...
