Let me give you a brief comparison of the 3000 and the GO3000:Built in MicChange of button designBetter Screenand other minor hardware improvementsGO:BluetoothPortabilityDigital OnlyConsidering that you have the 1001, buying a 3000 is not a major upgrade if your phat is in good condition, the GO is a complete change of style.So if you want portability and bluetooth, go for the GO. If you want the original with improvements, go for the 3000.Think getting a PSP Go is a good Idea?
If you liked to be ripped off, go for it.If not than don't. Not only is it80 dollars more than the PSP 3000 the games also cost more. For instance Final Fantasy Dissdia is 39.99 on PSN, yet I have seen it for 17.99 in some sores around me.
OMG not another one! :xJust search PSP Go 3000. I so happily tagged all these threads that have PSP Go pros and cons..
NONE of the old games I have on UMD have been set up on the PSN. I would have been well and truly screwed if i had gotten a Go. That's me personally. You do what's good for you, but I would be missing some real favorites if I had bought one believing in the promise. Smaller screen? None of the games I enjoy from my collection? Keep the thing.
[QUOTE=''Yojimbo25'']I'm looking to update essentially. My 1001 PSP is getting really worn out and I think its time to retire it. I like the overall appearance of the GO, and the built in memory. I do plan on keep on my old 1001 model PSP, but I want some feedback as to whether it would be worth getting a PSP GO.[/QUOTE]I just posted that someone shouldnt get the go and the 3000 instead. I look at each case with unbiasness (sp?) and take every case as in of itself. I would suggest that you get the GO, because if you want to play something on umd then like you said you can just use your 1001 psp. Thats exactly what i do also. I have a 1000 and go back to it to play lumines but thats about it.One thing you need to take to heart is that analysis are saying that the go will come down in price sometime in the spring. Also there may be an announcement of the 4000 or psp2 at E3. So it may not be the best time to upgrade unless you really want something now.
Oh... I was wrong about them not offering ANY of my old games... I just love this...They DO offer ''REEL FISHING: The Great Outdoors''!!!So you can get that game for Go. Which is awesome.
Lol wow, A fishing game.
I'd suggest getting a 3000.
(I'd write more but, sadly I write smegging novels when I put my own suggestion in)

The psp go is good if you don't have many umd's. If you have like 6+ umd's I would just suggest a 3000. I have the psp go and I only bought it because I don't have any umd's because it is my first psp system in a year. If you want a more portable gaming system than the psp go is most likely the better option.
I own the 3000 and the backlog of UMD games that can be purchased cheap these days is too great to pass up. Its a pity PSN doesn't have more games. I really like the idea of the GO. Its a good system. Ah well.

Sorry your the biggest hypocrite I have ever seen. If you remember me you will know why I said that.
Anywho.
Keep your 1000 as going to go you lose major value by losing all your umds and not even being able to download the classics. And hey if you want digital content, get a big ol' memory stick and download away.
I would suggest you look at what titles you want and what is offered on PSN,I playedonly PSone games on my 3000 and had no umds, so to me it made sense, I do have PSP games on my GO! as well, honestly I think how portable it is and how much memory it has it can even replace an MP3 player,I carry mine everywhere instead of my ipod. Also it is actually a little uncomfortable and they side are a little sharp and dig into my hands,don't get me wrong I love it,not having to carry around all those UMDs(which are actually pretty big compared to the competition). I also like that you don't have to hunt for games,I have been looking for a long time for mgs portable ops(not plus) and it is now on PSN. There was a flood of good games added to PSN last year and hopefully it continues but it doesn't seem that way. I'm still hopinh they bring phantasy star portable and mega man powered up to psn because I got rid of my 3000. Keep the fat one.
Sure go for the Go. That is if you don't mind being limited as far as what PSP games you can play.
Nope.
I, like a lot of other people, think that it really depends on what your own personal preferences are.I got my 3000 as part of the Dissidia bundle and before I did that, I comparison shopped between the different models of PSPs out available including ones that aren't being sold anymore except second hand (the old models) and the Go.The reason I chose the 3000 over the Go is because of these reasons:>>>>>- I don't like downloading everything.Other people might, but I don't. I like having my physical games/cartridges/discs. Maybe I'm just weird in this way or just paranoid that something might go wrong in the download process or that I won't be able to transfer my downloads to another unit later on, etc. Either way, I don't like the idea of downloading large game files that are larger than the game files that are the PSOne releases on the PSN.- I have a history of bad experiences with slider types of devices.Other people might not and might love slider types, but I don't. I had a camera that turned on via the slider cover and I accidentally bumped it against a wall and the sliding function broke. I also had a slider phone and the slider part became loose and so my phone operated strangely ever since.- I like bigger devices.A lot of people like small because it means it's more portable. Personally, the smaller something is (iPod shuffle clip on freaked me out when I saw it because I was sure it would get lost in a matter of days or squashed or tossed in the laundry by accident because of it's tiny size) the more concern I have with it being 'too delicate'. Combined with the sliding function, I was definitely concerned about the Go's durability.- I like replaceable batteries.Batteries will die eventually. Usually for all of my electronics, the batteries give out before the actual unit does, which means I end up replacing the battery which gives me a longer unit life until the unit itself finally craps out.You can't replace the battery on the Go and I anticipated that my PSP would last me longer than a battery would and therefore hated the idea of having to get a new PSP unit because the battery eventually died on me before the unit was ready to go.Also, the anti-piracy reasons behind the non-replaceable battery made me grumpy. I'm all for anti-piracy, BUT I DO want the ability to replace my old battery with a legitimate non-hacking fresh one, thank you!- I like the shape of the 3000 better.Some people have said that the controls are situated in a somewhat awkward way, but I found nothing awkward about it at all - with or without using a case. I use a Logitech case for my PSP and it gives me the perfect shape and size to play my PSP while keeping my PSP tucked away.The Go is smaller, which is great for some people, but not for me. My hands felt a bit too cramped together.- I like being able to control how much 'space' my PSP has and have little to no use for onboard storage.I'm one of those guys who custom-builds his own computers so I like being able to control how much memory/storage space I have on my PSP unit via Memory Sticks. I'm not the sort who would take advantage over greater onboard locked-in memory space (which the Go has as a feature) simply because I don't necessarily trust the unit to not go funky with the onboard storage. Unit goes funky, storage goes funky. Storage goes funky, unit goes funky. I guess I just like the customizability aspect related to that in being able to separate everything out and do potential damage and inventory control that way.ALSO...- I like being able to use my pre-existing Memory Sticks!I already own MS Pro Duos because I already owned Sony products that used such items. Not having to buy new more Sony-only proprietary media storage was certainly a plus.In addition to that...- I like using Memory Sticks to order my PSP-related content.This is related to the earlier point about me not having too much use for onboard storage.I'm one of those people who has a pretty huge music collection, video collection, and I intend to get a bunch of PSOne games from the PSN (already got three!) in addition to my UMD games.Being able to part everything out into different Memory Sticks is both helpful and helps keep potential problems from being situated all in one place as it offers me damage control and inventory control.Granted, you can do the same for the PSP Go, but the 16 Gigs of main onboard memory is one of the reasons for the heftier price tag and it's to help DECREASE the need to part everything out into sticks.For me, it's kind of backwards to go with something that is more expensive and offers more onboard storage that I will never have much use for because I will part everything out into sticks anyways.>>>>>Despite all these points, I DID and still DO like the concept of the Go. (Amazing considering everything I just said!)Here are the pros (some of which were also my cons):>>>>>- It's smaller and more portableGreat for being on the go, literally, and takes up less room!
- It has a larger onboard memory/storage capacity which means fewer Memory SticksMemory Sticks aren't the cheapest media storage options available. The fewer one has to buy the better.- It doesn't need UMDs which means fewer odds and ends to contend with and fewer cases for loose UMDs>>>>>

Get used to it, he loves that game. :P lol
I've never owned a psp before the Go.I have a Go now and I am a tad frustrated that I cannot get alot of games for it, and that mine are a bit mrope expensive. But the main reason I got it was to play Final Fantasy while i'm out or on the move.so the space helped for me, I remain hopeful for more and more titles to be released to the psn. I love carrying only the psp around.It's nice to have around 8 games and don't need to switch UMDS.

get a 3000...that way you can use the games of your 1001...on a go, its just digital downloadable games
Well-put, JNK!!!I think there is no more elloquent breakdown of all the myriad reasons why I eventually decided not to ''upgrade'' to the Go... the biggest reason of course being that I have a rather extensive library of UMD (like, 12... which is extensive for ME) and despite what some might say about me, I'm hardly a hypocrite for said change of heart prior to the hardware's release. I've held the same opinions about the Go since Sony announced that there would be no way to transfer old titles to the new platform. Now, as I cruise PSN, I'm glad I didn't buy one because they don't offer ''NASCAR (2006)'' from EA Sports which, unlike Madden or Tiger hasn't gotten a yearly update with the new one on the way, I don't see ''Ace Combat X'' up there... there just seem to be a lot of omissions both large and small when it comes to the games I like to play on the system. So Ivan, I don't see where you can call me a hypocrite, I haven't changed my colors one bit and by the way, whatever axe you have to grind with me I wish you would get over it because I don't feel any sort of animosity towards you at all... I have enjoyed reading your responses to posts on the forum and generally have respect for what you say.Peace.
