Buying a PSP Go and Games in 2021: The Original Digital Edition

  • I've been meaning to pick up a PSP Go in good condition, and it just so happens the time for that is now. In what might be the rarest sighting you'll see this year so far, let's check out this Japanese PSP Go together. I'll even head to the PlayStation Store and (gasp) buy some games for it! This really was Sony's original digital machine, it just came 12 years too early. Though at this point even the PS5 digital edition feels too soon for many. Either way, let's bask in the PSP nostalgia. Come on in, the waters warm.

      @@Royal13Knight to be fair though as one ages that stuff can get worse. The Vita after a bit more play time would have me stopping to stretch my hand muscles. Even recently on PS5 which is definitely perfect for my hands was cramping up after playing a certain amount of MHW and Demon's Souls. At least I'm not a pro gamer from Korea who has multiple surgeries for their hands...
      I say the last bit as a joke of course. If not known pro korean gamers are so dedicated. They have their hands messed up by around mid thirties. Though since they take it as serious as a pro sport who those can have crippling injuries it makes sense. Not that I think that is a good thing, but that I understand the mentality. Rather have my hands functioning decently till I die myself.

      @@noahdejesus5601 The PSP Go didn't flop, because it was bad. Sure, there were some bad decisions but in 2009, digital games weren't as common as they are now, so people massively preferred to have physical copies of video games. Also, the hardware was getting older and they made dumb decisions, like the M2 format and a new proprietary charger. Nowadays, it's so easy to mod any model of the PSP, that it's definetly worth picking up. I prefer the 3000 because of the more comofortable design, since I have pretty big hands. :) I can see the visiual appeal of the Go, but other than a collector's item, I'd prefer the 2000/3000 any day.

With the hack you can store psp, ps1, arcade games, game boy color and advance games, snes, n64 and few ds games minus the touch screen. It's still my favorite handheld even having all ds versions, switch and ps vita. The psp had a bad battery life though and wasn't able to deflect sunlight the first model.

    I love the PSP Go. Great video. The Go was my first handheld console, and I only bought it because I had started playing games on an original iPod Touch, and liked having everything there digitally. When the Go was announced, I remember thinking - that’s awesome I can get a real portable gaming console and buy all the great PSP games I had missed out on. There was so much uncertainty about how many digital PSP games would be added to the PSN store, because there were very little or none online before launch. I checked on my PS3 on the morning of the PSP Go launch day and found about 200 digital games were added - including God of War Chains of Olympus. That was enough for me, and I bought the console that day during my lunch break. Even the sales guy at Best Buy tried to convince me to get the PSP 3000 instead so I could buy UMDs, lol. Anyway, it was a terrific system that eventually led me to the Vita. But I definitely have fonder memories of the PSP Go, which is still in great shape. Cheers!
