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

Attractive slide-screen interface, 16GB inbuilt memory, light, digital distribution - the future of gaming!
PSP control issues still remain, too expensive, game downloads cost the same as the ’real’ thing

Loss of UMD drive makes old games useless, no background downloading of games, price
For those who were just about to put a PSP on their Christmas list then overall they get a better looking device, with expanded memory, but for us we'll be sticking to the old hardware and our old gamesKey specsBluetooth, Wi-Fi...
