What the web is saying...
Pros: Good screen. Fast loading of games from flash memory. Very lightweight and portable. Stylish with good build quality.
Cons: Smaller screen than the standard PSP. At 4 - 6 hours, the battery life isn't very long. Doesn't play the regular PSP games - only exclusively downloaded content. Needs a stong, fast, wireless connection to download games. No trading-in of games possible. People with large hands might struggle with the small size. Not all PSP games are available for download.
The Bottom Line: This has arguably the best screen of any handheld console. The PSP Go is primarily aimed at new PSP users - if you already have a large number of UMD games this may not be right for you as the PSP Go, which has no disk drive, won't play them. It should be noted that any games you buy, are locked to your account too - meaning there is is no resale value or a secondhand market to buy from/sell to. That said, this is a seriously portable and stylish games console, with plenty of excellent games to download. Access to your games is very fast and most people agree that the screen is the PSP Go's best feature.
