Beautiful new form factor. Digitalonly storefront streamlines the process of consuming games with wanton abandon. Finally, a Playstation Portable that's actually portable! Revolutionary enough to cast off the dead hand of physical media.
Have a library of PSP games? You're not playing 'em on the PSPgo. No support for old accessories either.

The PSP Go is a sleek and sexy redesign, but its high price tag and some frustrating caveats mean it's not a must-have upgrade for existing PSP owners--at least for now. Read full review See all prices

It's way to early to make a definitive judgment on the Sony PSP Go, but from our early hands-on experience, we can't wait to find out more....
Attractive slide-screen interface, 16GB inbuilt memory, light, digital distribution - the future of gaming!
PSP control issues still remain, too expensive, game downloads cost the same as the ’real’ thing
The PSPgo is a significant evolution of the Sony PlayStation Portable that impresses on almost every level. Unfortunately, its prohibitive price tag is difficult to overlook -- particularly when compared to the PSP 3000, which will be sold alongside it...
Mr Pocket please meet PSP , Heeeey there good lookin', Light, yet sturdy , Pause and restore games anywhere , UMD gone...

We love its slimmer, sexier, more pocket-friendly shape, as well as its pause and restore anywhere feature, but the PSP Go doesn't quite add enough to the mix to justify its price tag....

Abstract: From a physical standpoint, the Sony PSP go is a slide-style portable console that, when closed, is about the size of your average smartphone. Compared to the PSP-1000, the PSP go is nearly 50% smaller and 40% lighter, but this also means you are faced wi...
Loss of UMD drive makes old games useless, no background downloading of games, price
For those who were just about to put a PSP on their Christmas list then overall they get a better looking device, with expanded memory, but for us we'll be sticking to the old hardware and our old gamesKey specsBluetooth, Wi-Fi...
Pick up the PSPgo and you'll see its significantly smaller than the old PSP. The UMD drive is gone, replaced with 16GB of internal storage for stashing games downloaded direct from the PlayStation Store. The 3.8-inch screen is a stunner and its 43 per...
That said, we found the gaming experience itself a tad cramped. You’ll soon find your hands are in an awkward position which does not compare well to the bigger PSP-3000. The d-pad and controls could do with being closer to the centre, and the pasti...
The PSP Go is a nice idea, but the flimsy build and high prices for its download-only games let it down. Moving to downloads only is a bold move, but games should at least be reduced to match their UMD cousins. Compared to the Nintendo DSi, the PSPgo i...
