But can i mix ISOs and emulators and such with legit PSN games on the internal memory? As a collector, I am having a tough time choosing between the PSP Go and 3000. The Go seems nicer but the lack of physical games makes me sad, haha. I can also get a Go cheaper than a 3000. How much internal memory does a 3000 have? Go has 16GB from what I read.

3000 has no internal memory. You can mix ISO and legit content in the same storage, I just perfer to keep it seperate, as I pop out my memstick and add games and files to it frequently. Using a mem card reader is ALOT faster than using the PSPgo transfer cable.

Thanks! I think I'll go buy a PSP Go. :D It gives me more memory because eventually I will add in a 32GB memory stick. :)

But not being able to buy physical games still... mmm..

No used games means you buy everything for full price. And no selling games that weren't as much fun as you hoped they'd be.

Is I mentioned early, I buy all my PSP games used, rip it with my PSP2000 and play it on my PSPgo. Win-win.

I would probably be just pirating everything. If I get a 3000 my plan was to get ISOs and then buy what I like. But if I have no physical copy to buy... Then I don't really want to. This is why it's so difficult for me, haha.

Ah yea. Maybe I'll still buy physical copies of my favorites even if I can't use them. I like that idea. I can keep them sealed too! :D

If you are looking for a new PSP go try Target or Sam's Club. Even though its no longer on the website, many Sams clubs have the Go at various prices, with the lowest I've seen being about $70. Also I had been eyeing some PSPgo systems on clearance at my local Target as they got cheaper and cheaper as weeks went by. This week I checked and they had one left at $70 which I happily scooped up.

As far as accessories, I purchased a dock at Target several weeks back for $7 and the screen protector package of two for $2 both at Target. I snagged a used PSPgo case at Gamestop for $2 a few months back and now have my eye on a set of component cables on clearance in the dump bin of Toys R Us for $10.

Now is the time to BUY BUY BUY this system!

Ended up getting a PSP 3000. I did not like the way the buttons felt on the PSPgo, unfortunately. I also wish the white model were solid instead of glittery.

I'm enjoying this thread. It's very informative as I've been thinking about getting a PSP or PSPgo recently. I'm still trying to figure out which one I want, but I'm sort of waiting to see if the price will drop a little bit more first. I'm a cheap gamer after all :wink:
