Upgrading to the Go?

I have a 3000 and I want to upgrade to the go I think. Gamestop has a hardware deal where if you trade any system for another system you get an extra 30 dollars. Is that something I should take up? I have a few other games for it. The main reason I want to upgrade is because I don't like the disc's noise it makes when I play it, and more storage.Upgrading to the Go?
I would hold off on that until the available PSP games on the Playstation Store improves, right now the selection is poor, and some of the downloadable versions of games run poorly. (Silent Hill: Origins) I would get one just to play my PSone games on, but I'd actually have to redownload them, and I don't even have wireless. If I could just transfer them from my PS3 to my PSP like I can with all the other PSP models, I may have gone for it. Right now, the Go seems like a whole lot of unrealized potential.Upgrading to the Go?
So it isn't able to transfer with the ps3?
I'm like 99.999% sure the PSP Go can hook up to a PS3.
Lol, ''upgrading''...Because a smaller screen and only the ability to store downloaded games is ''better''.

Obviously you didn't read my full post. If you are not going to post anything to answer my question, refrain from posting.
I have a PSP Go, so far no problems with hooking it up to my PS3. I've downloaded a lot of PS1 classics. All though I mostly use it for an mp3 player.

So wait, you CAN transfer downloaded PSone games directly from your PS3 to a PSP Go? I was reading when it came out that we couldn't do that, it was just about the one thing that kept me from getting one.

If you got the money why not. But you can also play games on the memory stick with the psp3000. Anyways, just get a go if you really are decided. It is nice and small. I wanted to get one too but most of the umd games are cheaper compared to digital copies. Plus some umd based games have limited edition which is pretty cool like Lunar. If only sony released the umd converter program...
i know right

Well, i personaly have one because i wanted to see how it was. IN fact, i reviewed it on youtube.

Anywho, If you really want a Go, it's up to you. I personaly it is a fine piece of hardware that is underrated and bashed on. The smaller screen is smaller, but it looks less pixelated (sometimes smaller, doesn't mean worse). The battery life is about the same though and you'll need M2 cards if you wish to expand on it'S 16 GB internal memory. Just don't listen to people who bash on it. The only problem is its cost, of 250$ which is expensive. BTW, the bluetooth compability is a good thing/save states as well.

I can recommend it to you if you are curious, but other then that, you can stick with the 3000. Still, i think Sony wasn't really aiming at hardcore gamers, but more toward casuals when they 've came up with the PSP Go. It's a nice handheld, and i suggest you get one, if you can by-pass the current flaws it has that ''some'' people did pointed out. ''Jap PSN has so much stuff that we don't have.. G-Darius anyone? Oh wait, we don't have it....''

If you have the money and want it just get it, that easy.I personally think it would make a nice upgrade, you know, because it actually is 'Portable.' Regarding the GameStop deal, I think you would be better off selling your 3000 at some other place (craiglist, amazon, etc.), just check where you can get the bestdeal. And yeah, the extra storage is really nice, I got about 200 songs on mine, 20 short clips, a couple of pictures, and about 7 games (including one mini and2 PS1 games) and still have plenty of memory to go around (I love the fact that I don't have to carry anything around except the PSP and earphones).
It would be cheaper to buy a larger Memory Stick.

I don't understand why you need to comment when you are not answering his question, and being so narrow-minded as to think that your opinion is the only correct choice. And while I agree with you, I don't feel the need to tell Silverpeel that their opinion is wrong.
I upgraded from a 3000 to a Go, I love it and dont regret it a bit. I agree that the selection does need to be better on the Store, but other than that, its great. And you CAN hook up the Go to the PS3. That's how I get all my DL games. And there are improvements with the Go, most just dont look into it because they're biased. The Go can connect with a PS3 controller. Which means if you plan on getting cables sometime to hook the Go up to your Tv, it could be used as a real console if you wanted. Pretty awesome. You have the option of ''Pausing'' your game ANYWHERE you want and continue later on. As in, turn off the PSP and continue right where you left off.



The older PSP models dont have these features. So yes, the Go DOES have advantages over the other models, quit being dumb some of you. Also, no stick swapping as well. The thing already comes with 16GB, just buy a micro that is also 16GB, and you never have to buy another one. Most wouldn't anyway.

You mean, pause the game, and access the XMBand you can buy a 32gb memory stick, keep it there, and never swap it for another, on the other models.So in other words, both the 1000-3000 models and the Go are currently equal in the amount of memory they can hold at one time.I don't think there's an M2 that's greater than 16gb yet
If you think it's a good deal and don't like having the disc noises, then get the Go. I owned a PSP 3000 for a few months before selling it for the Go and am liking it so far. Just weigh the pros and cons that you have in mind and see if the deal is worth it! :)
You can connect the GO to the PS3 and transfer games/saves/media/etc. with the usb cable it comes with. I do it all the time.
