PSP-3000. You can put a 16 GB memory stick into a 3000, but you can't put a UMD drive on a Go. The screen issue isn't a big deal at all unless you're super anal.

Personaly, I perfer to have a physical copy of a game if possible (hell I imported Siren on PS3). I'd say 3000.

I also vote for this reply. Plus, you can get a PSP-3000 bundle with a game and a memory card for $50 less than the Go.

Might want to check a nearby Walmart. I saw the PSP 3000 with full version of Rock Band Unplugged, 4GB Memory Stick, and a download voucher for School of Rock for $139 at my local store. It was sitting right beside the core for $169.

I have both.

Haven't touched the 3000 since I got the Go.

Depends on your requirements. If you need UMD, get a 3000. If not, the Go beats the 3000 in every other area.

how big would you say your hands are? if you say big...go with the 3000. the button layout on the go looks cramped if you have large hands.

I have huge hands. This was a concern for me before I got the Go but, while different, it's not an issue for me. Having said that I don't use it for long sessions. Up to 1 hour max usually.

One more vote for the 3000.

The Go is bad. Bad for gaming in general (DD only) and bad for gamers because you're tied exclusively to PSN.

Congrats. The 3000 is a great system.

Lol at the PSP Go hate. I wonder how many of the haters are modders and pirates. Like that is good for gaming?

Just got a go and it is hands-down the best system. The screen is PERFECT. I got tired of the ghosting and blur on the other models' screens. Plus the color depth is better, and things looks sharper because the screen is slightly smaller but the same resolution as the others.

Comics look great on that screen too.

I'm not a modder or pirate. I'd like the GO if the other PSPs had never existed...

3000, easy. You can get a new PSP 3000 and a 16gb memory stick for less money than the PSP Go. It'll do everything the Go can, as well as play UMD games. Really, there is zero reason to buy a Go.

I hate the general idea behind the PSP....

Controlling the gamers game library and destroying the used market really sucks big time!

Agreed. Plus if you don't have high speed internet access, the system is useless. (Not a problem for me, but it's a problem for some people.)

Apart from Bluetooth, the ability to freeze games as is and go back to the XMB, better screen and battery life..

But hey, 3000 is cool too.

I'm going to say the 2000. Screen might not be as good as the 3000 but the 2000 is so easy to mod. All you need is a 16gb memory stick and your set.
