I heard about the new <a href=http://www.psphacks.com/>PSP Go</a> and wondering if I can buy it somewhere yet, some say it's better than the <a href=http://www.psphacks.com/>PSP 3000</a> some say it's not, I m confused, witch one should I get?

I'm really big on being able to actually hold a "tangible" cover/manual/disk of a game, so the PSP Go is definitely a no for me. There are subtle diffences between the PSP go and the other PSPs.

PSP Go has a slightly smaller screen (by a few milimeters), and will use downloadable content. There will be a gadget in which you can transfer your games in from a UMD disk to digital, but I heard the machine or whatever it is, will cost money. So yes, it can still play the older games--- you just need to convert. The good side to this is that games on your PSP = more battery time. You'll get less battery drain when a game is on your PSP since it takes more energy to spin the UMD Disk.

It is also thin, and has the whole slide design going on. To me, that means it's less durable. =/ I drop my PSP every once in a while and that brick still haven't broken and since the PSP Go is thin and like a slide phone I am not so sure about the durability.

The only reason I would get a PSP Go would be for the 16 GB Memory stick which is a HUGE deal to me and other people.

...And for hackers, the PSP 1001 model is hackable (and a few others too). It'll take a little while before the PSP Go could be hacked to get free games.

Add together with the price, I don't really like the PSP Go and I still think it's super fail that they don't have two analog sticks making FPS games still virtually impossible. Then again, the placement of the buttons on the PSP Go isn't handy at all even if they added another analog.
