Beautiful new form factor. Digitalonly storefront streamlines the process of consuming games with wanton abandon. Finally

The editors didn't like
Too expensive- Renders your UMD library useless- Renders your accessories useless- Slow WiFi not changed since 2005- Slow game installs with no multitasking
Poor web browser. Uncomfortable controls. Software Windows-only
Pricey
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
Uses obscure and expensive Memory ...
Have a library of PSP games? You're not playing 'em on the PSPgo. No support for old accessories either.
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.
Actually feels a little too snug
So the PSPgo is harder to slide open
Top flops around a bit when in the open position.
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

The newfound pocketability of the PSP Go makes one undeniable step forward from the PSP-3000, but Sony takes too many simultaneous steps back to justify the $250 price tag. The missing UMD drive strips it of compatibility with old games, and introduces...
