Advantages and Disadvantages of the PSP-Go

I hack, I like Go

[watchdog]

I have the original phat-hacked and I just bought a Go, where I used to go out with ONLY my DS, I now go out with my DS AND my Go.
This thing is way more portable than the original PSP, it's what I thought the PSP was going to be when I first heard about it.
It's unfortunate I read in Game Informer today that Sony has decided not to offer a way to convert UMD's for this new system, they are worried about piracy (like thats going to stop it), they are instead offering the trade deal, but I have faith that this device will be hacked soon enough (hello Snoopy vs Red Baron).
As my main interest in a hacked PSP was only for the ability to play old PS1 games and ripping all my UMD's onto memory sticks, and the go offers me most of the PS1 games I was interested in without the problem of trying to figure out why the game wont work (Tomb Raider 4, just downloaded onto my Go today). Plus unlike my M33 CFW it gives me the ability to map the button config (MOH; Underground is now playable), my only complaint is the UMD issue. Beyond that, it has a good sized screen, and finally lives up to the word portable.

I did think that was Somy's main reason for not offering UMD conversion. If that's a confirmed no then clearly Sony only see the Go as an alternative and not an upgrade. No legit user with 100's of UMD's will sacrifice those for nothing.

What is the trade program you mentioned? I assume that'll be a send your UMD's to Sony and they'll return digital copies?

[watchdog]

I only briefly read about it earlier today, Sony decided to offer free downloads or something along those lines in exchange for your UMD's. They anounced this program a while ago I believe, they do seem to be expanding their digital game library. I have knoticed that not every new tital can be found on the PSN, the Clone Wars game is not there, but in the PS1 section they now have Tomb Raider 4 where they only had 1-3 last week.

I don't have a Go and i don't plan on ever buying it.

I already have a PSP-2000 TA-85v2, and only will be switchign hardware after a major upgrade, or should i say update?
Anyway, Go's features were cool and all, but not enough to make want it.

I couldn't care less about the UMD drive since i'm a Pirate.
(You are free to interpret that anyway you want.)

yes i own a go
i thinked in a greedy way but liked it
at the moment there is no remorse, in fact i'm liking it more than my old psp 2000
now let's wait, i know that some time in the future there will be a mod or a hack that allow homebrew loader, so let's wait

Do you own a PSP-GO? No
If Yes, How long?
If No, what PSP version do you own?

PSP phat 1003 ta-081 5.50 gen-d2

What are your reasons for buying/not buying a PSP-GO?

Can't be hacked so no isos/csos will run. No homebrew. No plugins . and no umds . and most importantly , can't unbrick if it's bricked except with sony. I feel it so weak as if it falls the least thing I expect is the slide screen gets broken

What makes your current PSP the best for you?

Hacked to run everything I want . I can mess with flash files as I want since I have pandora +MMS

Are you satisfied with your current PSP? What would you liked changed/added?

Iam very satisfied.I want usb charge without having to open the psp and mod it(since if I try to open and mod it I'll do nothing but destroy it !!! ) .a second analog stick would be nice too.and I'd like 64 mb ram for faster internet browsing and faster games . ( it's not in phat and it's in slims I know that ). I wanted a slim till I knew of those unhackable mobos , so I went with the psp phat which is as strong as a brick.

ans:- psp 2000

What are your reasons for buying/not buying a PSP-GO?
ans:- too expensive, no 2nd analog added, and a smaller screen that happens to look cool cause it slides doesn't seem that important.

also, if i did have the money for a new toy, i'd buy a wii before i bought a go, than a PS3, then a 360 or DSi, then maybe a go, they should be pretty cheap by then. lol
