    4 Stars Great PSP, 'Go' get yourself one! (Sony PSP Go) 14/10/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Crisp, sharp screen with brilliant graphics for a handheld. Extremely light console

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Button placement is rather tedious and awkward at times

    **This review has been taken and re-produced from my account on dooyoo, on which I share the same user name and own all rights to this review** The PSP Go is the newest handheld gaming console on the market. Although it may have received A LOT of bad press it really isn't that bad, it is in fact, quite impressive. I bought the PSP Go the 3rd of October last year from Play.com, costing exactly £200 of my hard earned cash. After waiting at least 2 weeks the box finally came, now to open it up. **The packaging and box contents** The PSPGo conosle box contains: The PSPGo console itself An AC ... more

    5 Stars The Perfect Time to Buy 16/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free Game Offer and Cheap Price, Best Handheld on the Market

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Would like to PS Store to be a bit Cheaper

    The PSP Go is the latest model of Sony's handheld range and makes a lot of notable changes. I've just purchased mine and all in all I'm really quite pleased! The PSP Go has had some bad press so I'm going to try and clear its good name. I'm going to focus on the exciting aspects rather than the dull 'battery life' and 'brightness' stuff. The other reviews cover all of that! The thing that put me off of the original PSPs was the size of the darn things. I don't care if Sony call the newer models 'Slim and Lite' they still look 'Wide and Clunky'. So I'm glad to see that they have produced a true ... more

    4 Stars PSP GO Review 21/05/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages more portable quicker loads less space needed for game disks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages games are alot more expensive, less comfy to hold and play, smaller screen.

    PSP GO is the 4th PSP and this one has some major redesigns in the look and feel of it as it now includes a slide up design with 16gb of internal storage.. The length of the PSP GO is around 2 thirds if the length of the psp 3000 and is very slightly thinner and will fit in your pocket alot easier than the psp 3000. The Screen. The first hit of it being smaller is the smaller screen although bcause of this it is clearer because of higher pixel dentsity but i would much rather have the bigger screen on the psp 3000 which is around a third bigger than the psp go but none the less the screen is ... more

    3 Stars The PSP GO is not worth it. 27/04/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Small and light.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not that much better than the PSP 3000.

    I recently got a PSP GO white, the previous days up until its arrival I was very excited, couldn't wait. When the PSP came i was delgihted with the appearance, it has a shiny white out layer with parts of grey around it. The PSP seemed to be very durable, and the slide action was very strong. The R and L buttons are very high quality, much stronger than the previous version. So far I was pleased with what I had received. The software itself is very good. The PSP has many functions including video and music playback which I think are top notch in my opinion. It also always you to put photos on ... more

    3 Stars Original PSP is still better! 27/02/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A nice handheld, that is too expensive for what it is and missing features!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery life still the same as previos PSPs, odd control layout

    The new PSP GO is the latest PSP to be released by Sony! The inital launch of the PSP GO was terrible and Sony had to relaunch it with a get '10 games free' offer. However the PSP GO is still very expensive for what you get and not really worth buying. Definitely do not buy this if you already have have of the old PSP models. While the screen is larger and a lot clearer in the PSP GO, the differences a miniscule when compared to the PSP -3000 model's screen. The unit allows you to slide the screen up, thus protecting the buttons below the screen. The button placement is fiddly compared to the ... more

    4 Stars Sony PSP Go!ng To New Heights 05/06/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Smaller size, better graphics, upgrade of the psp3000

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very fragile due to its design

    The original psp was an instant hit as it sold out much quicker than expected and this led to the psp2000 version and then the psp3000 version with improved features. The sony psp go is more than just an upgrade of the psp 3000. It is the perfect handheld console as all of the faults on the psp 3000 have been fixed. The best thing about the psp go is that you can now see what is on the screen in a brightly lit room or in some sunlight. On previous versions it has been impossible to make out the images on the screen in a well lit room. Also, the actual image is much clearer and seems more ... more

    4 Stars Psp go - a fun console that looks great. 03/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages light, good looking, good graphics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages limited in features.

    the fact that you don't have to carry around any kind of disk is excellent, and the storage on it is good. The screen is a nice size and the console fits perfectly into your pocket to take around. Its pretty small. The games are pretty much as fun to play as on the PS3 (or PS2) but the older models of the PSP, like the 3000 and the 'slim and lite' where nicer to hold, but more bulky. The graphics are pretty good and so is the sound. the buttons are realtively nice to use and the screen slides up and down nicely too. I have great fun using it, but it is only really good for using as a games ... more

    4 Stars Worth the extra buck? I don't think so 04/10/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good looking, no UMD

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor ergonomics, small screen, too expensive, flimsy

    Whilst this relatively new console comes at an unnecessarily high price, I was still tempted to buy it. How foolish I was. This piece of junk is not worth the extra money. It's very uncomfortable to use although videos show otherwise. The ergonomics are just not right! After playing on it for half an hour, my hand began to ache and I just had to stop! The screen is also smaller than previous PSP models and often I was squinting at the screen to pickup greater detail. If you want to get a quick headache, this is the product for you! The only two advantages would be the fact that it has no UMD ... more

    4 Stars Sony PSP GO, good but a bit hard to get used to 29/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Small, lightweight, built in memory, Bluetooth

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You have to download the games, bit pricey

    I purchased a psp go this Christmas from play.com with 10 free games £149.00, the 10 free games are: Gran Turismo PSP MotorStorm: Arctic Edge LittleBigPlanet Wipeout Pure Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice FIFA World Cup Need For Speed: Shift Avatar Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines Please be aware when you actually download the games grand theft auto is not available and has been replaced with beaterator, when I looked at the Sony website they say that the free game titles may change without notice, which is a shame as beaterator is not that good of a game, and I would of ... more

    5 Stars PSP GO ! - AMAZING!!!! 13/10/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages screen clarity, sound quality, loading times, features, microphone

    Disadvantages Disadvantages analog stick very small, Box is Bare.

    Bought this product on the day of release, and, didnt really know what to expect. But it is amazing. there is alot of negativity saying it is to small, but i find it Perfectly sized. also the screen clarity and sound quality is exceptional considering the size aswell. Basically, sony really know how to make good looking hardware. Dissapointing though because, the box is very basic. When opened the psp box contains PSP, USB, Charger. Thats it. :S. But, the machine itself is different compared to other psp's not only in appereance. The grips on the back are suprisingly comfy and the shiny-ness ... more
