It is the best portable video console yet .10/10

The PSP GO is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am 8 yrs old and I love it.It doesn't have a UMD drive instead it has 16GB storage so if you have other model psp you will have download games on to it from PlayStation store. You can also free demos and other games.You can get comics and music and videos. The battery lats 5 hours.Read full review...

PSP GO. Awesome game system. Not for everyone. But worth a look at least.

Let me get this out of the way, if you have a psp that uses UMD Disks, getting this is a total waste of time. It doesn't use UMD at all. Instead you get all your games from the PSN Store. This means you have re-buy all your games again. So beware.

That out of the way, this little unit is a tonne of fun to play around with. Even though the screen is smaller, than the original PSP, it looks crisper and more detailed. Games like Crisis Core, God's Eater Burst and Valkyria Chronicles 2 really look beautiful on the screen.

It's pocketable now,so the portable part of the name really applies. Once the unit is slid down, it easily fits into your pocket and doesn't feel bulky at all.

Battery life is pretty good. I got about 5 hours of solid gaming in with the screen brightness turned up.

Audio on this is brilliant! The speakers face out toward you, so the sound is clear and crisp and loud.

There is 16 GIG internal memory for homebrew and games, but only 14 are usable. You can expand this with an M2Card up to 16 GIG making the total 32, but with only 28 really usable. Even the SD card will make out it only has 14 GIG usable space.
So there is plenty of room for games, music, movies ect. On the internal i managed to get about 12 games and they were between the sizes of 400mb to 1.2gig.

A couple gripes can be said too though. Being smaller the controls are also more cramped. It's not bad for short gaming stints, but playing several hours will really cramp your hands. Also the circle pad is really awkwardly placed. For games like God's Eater Burst, and God of War that use the circle pad for movement, stretching your thumb does hurt after a while and changing hand positions doesn't make it any better.

This is a great addition to any mobile gamers library. It's fast, very portable and the build quality is also pretty decent. It wont die on you any time soon. If you haven't got a PSP yet, get this version of it. If you already have a PSP getting this wont make things easier for you. If you have a PSN account with psp games purchased already though, then I would upgrade to this model.

This model of the PSP isn't for everyone. But it is a solid gaming unit, and it will deliver on that front. I would highly suggest getting one. They aren't that expensive and PSP games are going for about the $10-15 mark on the PSN store.

All in all I give the PSP a 4.5 stars out of 5. Definitely worth a look at if you can get one cheap.Read full review...

Overall, we would rate the product 9/10.

I bought the PSP Game Console for my 10yr old son and he loves it more then any other game console, including our Playstation 3.

Intially I was disapointed that it doesn't have a touch screen however, the controls are identical to the Playstation 3 so navigation is easy.

The digital download of games has positives and negatives. The positives are that there are no cartridges to carry around preventing the risk of damage or loss however this means you have no game cartidges to trade or share with friends either.

The graphics are pretty special, and far more realistic then the ninetendo ds and the wifi provides internet access as well which is a great feature.

If only the console also had the ability to download mobile apps, then it would surely be the best gaming console on the market.Read full review...
