I know, I know, what the hell am I thinking right? The PSP Go was a flop - and that was in 2010! Well, I didn’t play the PSP Go in 2010 but I’ve played it in 2011 and you know what, I absolutely love it.
Believe me, I could have never imagined me saying this as recently as a month ago - I had no interest in the PSP Go whatsoever and was more than happy with my PSP Slim & Lite……or so I thought anyway.
Sometimes newer isn't better when it comes to hardware. Here are five subpar console redesigns that chopped a feature too many.
I would also add the Gameboy Micro. The Gameboy Advance SP was already a little bit too small, and the Micro which was made even smaller, was impossible to play for more than 5 minutes without destroying your hands.
I would definitely agree on that. The infrastructure is there for a digital-only device and physical media isn't as big a deal.
The very reasons it was rejected in 2009 are flipped on their head.

I got one at launch and still have it.
Great system and super portable.
Not so comfortable for big hands playing for long sessions though.
Have good memories of Peace Walker on the Go, pun intended.
I believe there is some prototype of a hand held console with dedicated GPU that can run modern AAA games too.
PSP has such great games, it's such a shame Vita didn't do as well, I still use mine I bought in 2014. I still would love an upgraded handheld if just for ports, though.
I've enjoyed my PSP a lot, too bad they're not making handhelds anymore.
That time when Skype was available on PSP was awesome.
Atlus has confirmed that their PSP titles will still be available for purchase through the PS3 and PS Vita stores, even after the closure of the PSP store on July 2nd.
When a third party publisher is more dedicated to a platform’s long term lifecycle than the manufacturer themselves
Atlus is the true chad
Well yeah, Sony has to pay for overhead and infrastructure as well as maintenance and personnel for the 4 psp users out there while atlus just makes straight cash if someone buys one of their super outdated titles and that they are no longer patching or working on.
Gotta wonder why they're even bothering to close the PSP store. All the games are still on the servers, and all the games are still purchasable on the pc and ps3 stores. Seems like the only thing they're doing is closing one web-based store
I want one too. I've seen a lot of people picking them up recently with the deals going around and i'm tempted.
I picked one up for 100$ last thursday.
It's a pretty solid little machine.
=)
Picked one up for $99...at that price point it is a no brainer.
Actually at that price point its like the are giving them away like candy...
I love my PSP Go <3. but sony needs to start dropping prices of those digital games. I will never pay more than ~$20 on a portable game and if I am paying $20 it better be damn good! some of the games on the store need to be dropped to $10 or sony needs to have more sales. I've spent way more money on steam just because of impulse buys from really good sales. hell i was only mildly interested in metro 2033 when I bought it and I guarantee i would never have bought it if it wasn't on sale.
I bought one from my friend brand new for $110 cuz he was in need of money now time to fill it up with my games.
