i would buy this in heart beat i really think the go is a great piece of hardware. i just dnt like having to carry around those damn umd's

oldfriend865024d ago

No, this is a PSP Go. You don't use UMDs on this system, just downloaded games. Strangely, that's why I don't like it, is because I still have my UMD games, but can't play it on the PSP Go.

ABizzel15024d ago

That was it's downfall not being able to move your UMD's over. People who had a PSP had no reason to upgrade even though the Go is much better IMO. (I got mine for $150 when it first came out due to an ad error, and it's great especially since PS+ gives yo ton of free PS Minis, and PS1 classics to play on it.)

Knushwood Butt5024d ago

At this price it's a bargain.

Great piece of kit if you can get over the UMD thing, and if not, just keep your original PSP. Not really a big deal.

Ddouble5024d ago

I hope these are still in stock on monday. Might get both black and white.

thebudgetgamer5024d ago

i wish they did this on this side of the pond. i would jump on this deal.

Close_Second5024d ago

Would only be a great deal if you could get more psp games on psn. I use to own a Go but sold it after there being almost no support for it.

TNS: Sony had great ideas back then for its PSPgo-- it that even had the same features as the Nintendo Switch. Too bad that wasn't enough.

I still have the Go with the dock and a paired sixaxis controller. I could have used a DS3 but since the PSP games have no rumble, why waste a rumble enabled controller on it.

MeteorPanda71d ago

I still have my psp, psp go and vita.

Home brewed to be retro gaming machines. I love them, my kid picked the go over a 3ds.

Cacabunga71d ago

I never wanted to bother with psp go.. first it was too small for my hands and didn’t like the clicking d pad but mostly because it didn’t support my physical games. It was DOA and it just flopped so hard so fast

And long before that Sega came up with the Genesis Nomad and nobody cared.

You've also been able to connect a phone/tablet to TVs for years and nobody cares.

darthv7271d ago

Not... quite the same. Sure you could plug it into a tv but you had to hold it while playing. The PSP 2000/3000 would be compared to the Nomad as they did the same thing. Plug into a tv but you had to hold it to play.

Not very convenient.

theindiearmy69d ago

It wasn't very hard to modify so the P2 controller port actually controls P1.

boing170d ago

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Nomad taking full fledged Genesis/ Mega Drive cartridges? It was basically handheld tv console.

franwex71d ago

Maybe Sony needs to support their hardware a bit better?

JEECE71d ago

Yep. The Switch wasn't a success because it can be a handheld or a home console. It was successful because it did that AND it was a well-supported device that was Nintendo's primary focus for a full generation.

thejigisup70d ago

Such a painful pill for sony to swallow. They really should have supported the vita and psvr2 much better. games like resident evil on psvr are too few and far between, the 1st party support has always been lacking.

Five Bad Console Redesigns that Missed the Mark

Sometimes newer isn't better when it comes to hardware. Here are five subpar console redesigns that chopped a feature too many.

I would also add the Gameboy Micro. The Gameboy Advance SP was already a little bit too small, and the Micro which was made even smaller, was impossible to play for more than 5 minutes without destroying your hands.

abstractel1259d ago

I quite liked the PSP redesign :shrugs:.

plmkoh1259d ago

If it was released today everyone would be praising it.

PrimeVinister1258d ago

I would definitely agree on that. The infrastructure is there for a digital-only device and physical media isn't as big a deal.

The very reasons it was rejected in 2009 are flipped on their head.

got_dam1258d ago

Note to author. Make the section titles BIGGER than the text for the body of each section. It reads better.

got_dam1254d ago

Lol 1 dislike. Bet the author can't take any criticism. Constructive or otherwise.

I got one at launch and still have it.
Great system and super portable.
Not so comfortable for big hands playing for long sessions though.

Have good memories of Peace Walker on the Go, pun intended.

dolfa1407d ago

I believe there is some prototype of a hand held console with dedicated GPU that can run modern AAA games too.

Eidolon1407d ago

PSP has such great games, it's such a shame Vita didn't do as well, I still use mine I bought in 2014. I still would love an upgraded handheld if just for ports, though.

redrum061407d ago

I've enjoyed my PSP a lot, too bad they're not making handhelds anymore.
That time when Skype was available on PSP was awesome.
