    Don't forget that Sony also added bluetooth functionality to the PSP Go, which not only enabled the use of wireless headphones and earbuds but also adds the ability to use a Dualshock 3 (PS3) controller. If you have the cradle (or dock) then you can use the PSP Go like the Switch and play it on your tv with your PS3 controller. I have a cradle and it's pretty awesome to play my PSP Go on my tv! The only downfall is that the cradles are super expensive now, and they require component cables to connect to your tv, so you have to have an older tv or use a converter to connect your system to your tv.

I never got the chance to own a PSP Go yet but I do plan on collecting each PSP model because I think eventually they're really gonna be quite valuable, so I guess eventually i'll get this one

    I feel like people who say that the removal of the umd slot was a downgrade misunderstood the device. They didn’t discontinue the psp 3000 when they released the psp go. It’s like the iPad mini to the iPad air, they are great at different things. With the psp go you could bring 20-40 games with you in a device as small as a phone. The psp 3000 is huge in comparison. I got the Go in 2009 and I had games, tv shows, music on the go in a tiny device. It was so awesome, and it’s definitely my most used handheld of all time, even though I own 2 switches

      The go still stands out as one of the best handheld's i've used over the years. I think most people I knew including myself also pirated PSP games for the most part, as piracy was insanely rampant with the system ever since the 1000 was out, so it was really a non issue that the Go didn't have any way to use UMDs. The form factor also really outweighs the ergo issues with the Go, since when the thing was folded up it's generally smaller than most cell phones profile wise nowadays too, and it had some serious battery life unlike a lot of the handhelds today. It's great they are going up in price, but this is one console I will not be selling for sentimental value alone.

    PSP go was the result of “if it ain’t broken don’t fix it”
    While it did offer a more “modern” design, it just was very uncomfortable to use over long periods of time. It really wasn’t worth it at the time imo but maybe today with home brew it might be a good option. Otherwise it really was the first horseman of the “all digital” apocalypse.

    I just bought a 3000 today and saw they had a GO for sale as well. With the store being closed down and the use of that horrible proprietary memory card, I personally couldn't see why I'd get that instead of just a normal PSP. The GO looks interesting and I was thinking about getting it but I still have my brothers old PSP games I can play. If anyone with a GO sees this, what's better about it?

    • @duelgundam
      @duelgundam Рік тому +2

      Not a Go owner, but honestly? If you're full digital, or making it a homebrew(modded software), it is a lot more better in terms of compactness, since it fits a lot nicer in your pocket, instead of the much bulkier predecessors(especially the 1000 model). That said, if you're mostly playing with UMDs, then you're better off holding on to your 3000 model.

      I have a Go and it’s fast, looks really nice, has internal storage, and the graphics look better than on the original PSP and definitely better than PSP games on Vita because of the smaller screen taking advantage of the resolution. Overall it’s definitely worth it to me. But my favourite thing about it is that it looks super nice. If you already have a PSP, I can understand why you wouldn’t want to get one. But to me it’s awesome.

    • @Rawdawgggg
      @Rawdawgggg 9 місяців тому

      The form factor is good and bad subjectively. I own all of the PSPs from back in the day and still have them, and I bought the Go prior to a vacation to have something easier to carry on the go (har har). The PSP isn't something you can really carry in your pants pocket very easily whereas the Go is. If you're relying on internal memory the options are the same for both anyway, and if you're looking to carry a bunch of UMDs with you, that was also seen as a bigger inconvenience to us back then.
      While a lot less comfortable to hold than the regular PSP, the form factor kind of makes up for this and I found I didn't have any issues as it took over as my main PSP as time went on before the whole platform died off and we moved on to other handhelds.
      In today's world with all these retro handhelds you can get out of china, and how small and powerful they tend to be, the Go really has no value there aside from nostalgia and collector value. However the time it would take for the thing to raise in value, to about $150 more, is not really a smart investment.

      Back in 2010, my PSP 2000, was stolen from my house by someone I trusted. When getting a replacement,that was precisely the reason why I didn’t by the PSP GO. As I had a collection of UMD games, I opted for the PSP 3000 instead. BTW, i do have a PSP GO now as well as the others and yes they are going up, owing to how rare they were.

    Does psp go battery bloat? Can I use it while charging?

      I have 2 of them, one with a working battery and one with a bad battery, neither are bloated and the working one can be used while charging

      @Cat-hl9xb If it's any use to you the battery is pretty easy to replace as long as you have a small screwdriver handy
