    the only thing i know is due to the psp go being download only it is expected to be a flop. so if you want a psp then go for one of the others and avoid the psp go.

    Agree, I'd avoid it personally

    At least with the standard PSP, you can sell games or trade them in when you're through with them.

    What happens if you download a rubbish game - how do you refund a download? Promise to delete the file after you get your money back?

    Omg, is the PSP Go only downloadable games? You cant use any normal Psp games? Sorry if I sound stupid, I dont really know much about PSP's, especially PSP Go, I am more into my DS to be honest. I am looking into buying my partner a PSP for xmas, I was thinking a Go one, but if its only downloadable games theres no point, I may aswell save nearly £100 and buy the normal one! Anyone know what the graphics/ gaming experience is like? Thanks

    If you mean the FAT and Slim versions, the graphics are pretty good. There is not a huge difference I note between these two apart from the weight. Everything else is same as far as I have been able to tell.

    The graphics quality is dependent on the game in the end and the PSP does a good job. If you use the PSP as a simple video player, then its poor for doing that, you need PSP MP4 format files in first place, you can hack it to play other formats but playback can be jittery.

    For gameplay, both the fat and slip are great. Don't know about the PSP Go - might be hack to play existing games on it.

    i have a hacked PSP and only use it for homebrew.

    there's nothing wrong with flashing custom firmware as you own the hardware.
