View larger. The Most Portable and Powerful PSP Yet
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.

Better yet, I liked the product enough to get one for my sister for Christmas who lives in another state! Best part here is that we can share an account and have up to 3 PSP's on in, allowing us to share every game purchase we get. The online features even allow us to play games like Phantasy Star Portable 2 online together without a single hickup. Other notable features include skype (awesome for serious gamers wanting to keep clutter off of the computer while playing), an internet radio (why not?), the ability to add mp3's (decent sound quality at that), connectivity to your television AND you can even use your PS3 controller when doing so, if you're into such things. If you left a PS1 game uninstalled and want to play it while at the parents house for a holiday season, no problem it it's on your PS3. You can use remote play on the PSP with any internet connection to play less demanding PS3 titles from any location. For example, I was working and up at a hotel and felt like playing Bionic Commando. No problem, I just used remote play. This also works wit hall PS1 titles. I add that it also has bluetooth. This may matter to some people, since the other PSP models do not.
Some drawbacks include some cramping while playing the smaller form system, even though I prefer the size on the go. Not particularly a serious drawback, but the battery life only ranges from 3-6 hours. The "pause" feature and sleep modes help remedy this a bit, and do use "pause," because it is very convenient when in the middle of game play. I hate UMD's, but some people like having something to look at, so this is a con for some; having no UMD slot. I am not hard of hearing, but if you are, I could see the headphone volume being too low for some.
All in all, I rate this to be an excellent product, especially for new PSP users. If you like the digital concept this will be worth the money, just be sure to read game reviews before buying games to avoid wasting money on bad titles.

GAME BREAKDOWN: The PSN store is in full swing these days, with hundreds of PSP games available for download. Because this is the Go model, there are no hard copies of any games you play. However, for most, this won't be a problem. If you don't own any other PSP systems, you don't own any of the previous game discs, or UMD's, that they use. They won't work on the PSP. Thankfully, navigating the PSP Go is a joy.
There are PSP Mini's, which are smaller games that frequently rock, for about 2 dollars to 5 dollars each. My current favs are A Space Shooter for Two Bucks and Zombie Alien Death, both cost under two bucks
There are PS1 Classics, ported versions of playstation games for 10 bucks and under. If you've never played classics like final fantasy or chrono cross, now's your turn to check them out!
And finally, the psp games. Theres an incredible variety here, from new releases to old classics, and you'll never get tired of what they have here. Sure, not all psp games are available here, and classics such as Kingdom Hearts and FF Crisis Core will be missed. However, most of the best games on the system are there, such as Metal Gear Solid, God of War, Little Big Planet, ModNations Racers, Pixeljunk Monsters, Patapon, and Disgaea.
And let me say, the games play wonderfully. The graphics are way ahead of their time. I couldn't believe how cool it was to hold such a powerful machine in my hands, and I dunno how the wizards at sony fit so much in such a small package.
CONTROLS: Surprisingly, the controls hold up really nicely. Such a small system, and yet when you first hold it in your hands, you feel very confident about the way you control the games. The joystick is smooth and durable, and the d-pad clicks beautifully. The start/select buttons are very nice and in a great place, and the face buttons work well also. The volume rocker is a little strange, because its right above the game controls, but you get used to it. Overall, the controls ROCK. People with larger hands may be strained a little, but that goes for all mobile gaming systems.
MUSIC: The speakers on the PSP Go are surprisingly good, and you can plug in headphones to the 1/4 inch jack. The player is actually really cool. Theres a nice variety of different backgrounds to choose from. However, it's not the best thing to replace your ipod. Theres no way to lock the music player so it doesn't change songs when you hit L and R, therefore keeping it in your pocket makes it change quickly. Still, for the most part, the music player rocks.
VIDEO: Any mp4 or wmv video file works, and works well. Screen is vibrant and colorful and plays movies like a charm.
OTHER FEATURES: There's a comic reader, internet browser, and picture viewer, all which work great! Basically, your psp go is your new best friend on the go.
OVERALL
We're blessed with amazing technology in our society, and that is very true for mobile gaming systems. However, the PSP Go is among the best, with tight controls and a great library of games. If you're into smaller, bite sized downloads, see the iPod touch/android phones. However, for gamers that want the best mobile gaming system you can get, the PSP is an incredible buy. With up to 6 hours of battery life, wifi capabilities, and a great feature set, the PSP go is amazing. Price-wise, you have to be clever if you want to save on these. Buying used is a great idea, but you can't always be sure of the quality. And the games themselves are fantastic, although they can be a little costly.
Five stars from me. I used to have a PSP system when it first launched, and never really liked it, but me and my PSP go are inseperable. BUY THIS! ;D

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.
On further testing, the games and playability are there. The audio on the system managed to come back more often, but still faces the issues. But the aforementioned problems with a poor screen can get in the way of what should have been a pretty standard portable experience.
Currently, I don't recommend getting this from the seller.
