Introducing the smallest and mightiest PSP system yet. With the PSP Go users can download the best digital games and movies directly to the 16GB built-in memory and use built-in Bluetooth support to connect a wireless headset to more easily utilize Skype to talk with friends. But best of all, you can show off content via the new ultra-crisp 3.8-inch LCD screen, maximized by the PSP Go's new slide out control design. Go versatile, Go digital, Go anywhere.
The PSP Go, has all the functionality that older PSP hardware versions had, but includes many important and exciting changes. Unlike previous versions whose primary means of playing media was via a built-in Universal Media Disc (UMD) drive, the PSP Go does away with UMDs altogether and instead relies on a media solution combining download functionality via Sony's PlayStation Network, larger onboard storage capacity and removable Memory Stick Duo support. This major change allows for a slim design, quicker access files and a much more quiet, energy efficient gaming experience since there are no longer any spinning UMDs. Other major changes include: Bluetooth support, allowing Internet Skype calls to now be made using compatible headsets; and more importantly, a change to the control scheme. The PSP Go features convenient slide out controls. Although these are consistent with historical PSP controls--featuring four directional arrows, the four familiar Sony face buttons and a left-oriented analog thumbstick--their ability to be placed out of view when not in use allows the PSP Go to maximize the use of its screen and your viewing pleasure. A Full Entertainment System in Your Hands The PSP was designed to handle all varieties of applications and entertainment -- music, video, communication, wireless networking, and, of course, gaming. PSP Go users will enjoy topnotch 3D games with high-quality, full-motion video, and high-fidelity audio. Its ultra-crisp 3.8-inch wide screen LCD display is bright and beautiful, and works well under many different lighting conditions. A Wealth of Games to Choose From The PlayStation Portable gaming library is hundreds of titles strong and covers a wide variety of genres. The PSP Go is compatible with all PSP formatted games and Sony has pledged to have all these available for download via the PlayStation Network's PlayStation Store. Whether you are seeking the hard knocks of football or other sports games, the strategy of a puzzle games, or the action and adventure of shooters and racers, there's sure to be many games in your future with the PSP Go. Via the PlayStation Store users can also download an assortment of PS One games ported over to the PSP format. The PSP Go is capable of graphics quality that is comparable to the PlayStation 2 console, but in a pocket-sized package, so whatever your game is you can be assured of a quality experience. Watch Movies and Videos on the Go When you just want to sit back and enjoy a movie or video on a long plane trip, or anywhere else, the PSP Go has you covered. It offers two options to do this: you can either transfer media ahead of time to a Memory Stick Duo, or using the PSP Go's Wi-Fi functionality, your free membership to the PlayStation Network and access to a hotspot, you can download movies, TV shows, game trailers and more directly to your PSP Go. If users prefer they can also download content ahead of time to a PS3 or a Windows-based PC, via Media Go software, for faster transfer to their PSP Go, and can also watch recorded television content downloaded to a Memory Stick Duo with the TiVo-To-Go service. (additional fee and a TiVo Series2 connected to your home network also required). Music and Other Functionality With the ability to play MP3, WAV, WMA, ATRAC3+, and MP4 files, you can easily use your PSP Go as an audio player. Simply place your music on a Memory Stick Duo, and you can navigate your collection using the PSP Go's XMB (XrossMediaBar) to select your song to play. Built-in Wi-Fi Allows for Internet Browsing, Online Gaming and More With built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, you can access the Internet from any accessible hotspot. Once connected, you can surf the Web, check e-mail and visit the PlayStation Store to download games, exclusive demos and game content and even update your system and game software in seconds. The PSP Go is first and foremost a gaming device though. Ad hoc enabled multiplayer games allow PSP players in close proximity to play together, but your PSP Go's Wi-Fi connection also allows you to battle other gamers anywhere in the world over the Internet, in online infrastructure multiplayer games. Other functionality available remotely via a broadband connection includes: Internet radio; LocationFree TV, allowing you to view your home media setup from anywhere; RSS feeds; Remote Play, which gives you access to your PS3; and more.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PSP Go - Piano Black (Video Game)
Finally bought a PSP Go after a huge price drop on a Black Friday special. Glad I waited for the price drop instead of buying the Go when it first came out.I also have bought an 8 GB memory stick micro, but with downloading more and more games, music, videos and photos used it up pretty quickly and just today went back to purchase my second 8 GB memory stick micro, expanding my Go to 32 GB now. I didn't want to have to carry UMDs around with me and needed something smaller. Great little portable, able to connect to the internet wirelessly and then you can use Remote Play to connect and play on your PS3 ! It's got Skype, Internet radio, coming soon Qriocity (sort of like ITunes). I bought a convertor from Japan that allows the PSP camera to be connected to my Go and it works perfectly. Not only all this, but until some time in 2011 (think it's spring), you can also get a code from Sony to download 3 free games Little Big Planet, Rachet and Clank; Size matters and Socom Fireteam Bravo 3 which would normally cost you $80 ! You just have to sign onto the Playstation Network with your PSP and Sony will email you the code to redeem the games. I received mine in 3 days after signing in. Some people say there aren't many downloadable games for the PSP, but after looking online, I see many games that are downloadable and Sony are still putting more up for download every month. In my opinion a great device and now at a more affordable price.

You can play most of the PS One in this console. I wanted to play FFVII and I finally can. Also the Resident evils and some others. It is really fast and you can expand the internal memory up to 24gb with an M2 of 8gb. Or if you don't want to you can just use the internal memory of 16gb...no more disks to carry, so you can play on the way all the games direct from memory.Also it has Skype! You just need a wireless network to connect to :D Free calls!

This review is from: PSP Go - Piano Black (Video Game)
I was originally excited about the PSP Go when I first heard of it; I thought it could be a great portable console like the PSP had been for me. PSP despite some early criticism got better and had some cool features and some good games that made it worth it for me. I thought I could expect something great right away from the new version, the Go, Boy was I wrong.On the positive side the Go looks great and feels great, it is much lighter than the original PSP and a little lighter than the 3000 version. I like how it slides, its size, games play nicely with the controls and I think it's comfortable. The screen is smaller than that of the PSP but looks really good. You can change the internal memory to that of a 32 GB and I'm sure eventually you will be able to buy even more memory. The fact that you can buy the games online and get them on your Go right away is nice, you can also upload videos and music which is great (wait couldn't the PSP already do these last two features?). "Mini" games don't cost much and are fun. It definitely has a lot of potential to it. Nothing really justifies how it can be priced higher than the PSP. It has 16 GB internal memory which is not bad but what If I want to keep all the games I buy on it? I have to delete some of the ones I already have and then if I ever want to play them again I need to repurchase them? Or how about buying games and not being able to know if they're any good? The fact that PSP Go games that you don't physically own cost more or as much as a PSP game when it really shouldn't is a turn-off. You can't exchange or sell the game either which is not a good thing as of now, if you don't like a game you buy at least you can get something for it even if it is minimal, with the Go forget it! You paid enough for the system and now you have to buy downloads for 40$ (there are "mini" games which you can buy for 5-10$ and some are really fun but it's an entirely different thing than a big game)? Also the Go doesn't have as good of an infrastructure as Sony would want you to think, it is likely to get better but for now it doesn't offer a lot and there aren't that much games available. You can get some PSP titles which is good but with the PSP library of games you'd think there would be more available, it isn't the case yet but they released some big ones like God of War and newer PSP games are available on the Go. I was also disappointed in the fact that it isn't compatible with PSP games and UMDs, when a new game system comes out I think the ones buying it have come to expect this from consoles who have retro compatibility ( Wii, PS3, PS2, Xbox 360 and even the DS ) so why not the Go? Having a new console is nice but it doesn't mean throw away the previous one just yet! The battery is not replaceable in the sense that you can't remove it or replace it yourself which is unfortunate if you ever come to experience problems with it. I would keep my PSP for now instead of buying a Go. I'm not saying the Go will never be worth it but for now it's not unless you know you really want one or if have the money to experiment with or risk. I've owned a PSP since 2005 and still enjoy it and I don't see why you would NEED to switch to Go yet. Besides Sony has stated that the Go was not meant to replace the 3000 and that they would continue its support. Perhaps just like every console it's too pricey for a launch but this one really is, it doesn't cost a lot less than a PS3 (50$ approximately)! You can still buy and play games on a PSP, download stuff and it doesn't cost as much. I'm not a hater, I like what it CAN do and the system itself is great but when it all comes down to the thing that is price, then it's too expensive overall. For now if you're buying your first PSP get a 3000 (or maybe older) it won't be as frustrating and it's probably best for now as the PSP is still a good portable console.
