Couldn't find the original post where we discussed the PSP Go, but I gotta admit I didn't really search too hard. Either way, I remember we discussed it, and I finally got it a little more than a week ago. Wifey found it on ebay for $200 flat, buy it now, brand new in box, so she jumped on it.

First impressions: LOVE this fucking thing.

16GB built in and I bought a 16GB M2 stick off Buy.com. After the loss, I'm running with about 28GB of space on here. M2 is purely media... about 12 movies on this bitch, all ranging from 300-450MB. And I've got about 2.5GB of music -- so there's still space to burn. Then I got 4 games (Madden 10, GTA: Vice City Stories, The Warriors, and Resident Evil 2 -- but RE2 is trash on this).

The thing is as sexy as presumed. The button layout feels surprisingly good in my hands. My paws are kinda big, but my thumbs aren't cramping on this like they would on my old PSP-1000 years ago.

Only complaint is standard across all PSPs since the beginning of PSP time. Unless you like to blow out your ear drums with straight in-ear headphones, then the sound is gonna be pretty low. I use the Bose In-Ear that aren't quite in-ear, if you're not familiar (which I doubt). The bass is good and I hear everything fine, but I'd really love the option to willfully go deaf if I so choose.

If you got $200 sitting around, I'd suggest picking it up. Look for a few accessories, namely the Cradle/Dock (especially if you got bluetooth headphones).

jealous... i gave my psp away the other week because my cousin broke his.. so i have a broken psp laying around now gotta fix it

i really hoped the PSONE classics were multiplayer but they are not. im keeping my eye out on ebay i want a GO maybe a white one for the summer time lofl

[Amen]

No lie, bro. I really wanted the white one. I feel like it would've been more flashy and perfect for warm weather. Wifey talked me out of it (read: refused to buy it). Her logic is sound -- it'll get dirty. But damn it looks fly.

What's broken on your cousin's PSP?

he busted his lcd and then tried to replace it him self.. he then snapped off a clip designed to hold the ribbon cable from the lcd onto the motherboard. i already found a replacement clip but my soldering skill will need to be sharpened up.

theres a high chance of failure. alternative would be to replace the logic board but that comes out too pricey.

i want a go.. but i really have no need for one. i wish i rode a train or had down time to play with gadgets. some traveling will have to be in order.

Watching Booty Call at work right now. lol. If you're an office shlub who can sit at his desk all day, then you gotta do it!

[Amen]

Another reason to be happy.



Just got this in my email.

I can't pull the trigger
wait..
I DON'T NEED IT BUT SONY HAS INFILTRATED MY MIND AND I WANT IT

dropped a bid on a white one

[santana]

lost the bid

i just got a white one for 150 from craigslist used

ill post pictures when im home later..err.. if im sober enough


how much you get that dock for?

[santana]

its go time ^^^ hot fuzz


what multiplayer games are good on this thing that we can murder each other on?

man the volume really is low on headphones.. well its not low its just, like you said not a "psp go deaf"

[Amen]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaah buddy! $150 is an awesome deal, especially how crisp that bad boy looks. Apparently, Gamestop is only giving $49 for returns, so people who don't like the Go are moving them for cheap.

Only multiplayer game I got is Madden 10, but I've been giving thought to SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3. Except the only time I'm on consistent Wi-Fi is when I'm home and playing on the PS3 Big Brother.

I got the dock for $19.99 from Buy.com, but it looks like the price is back up to around $23: http://www.buy.com/p.../211497809.html

I just bought this baby, too: http://www.play-asia...3lch-43-7o.html
It's going to work perfectly for my cradle here at work.

you have any wobble or looseness in your screen when its slidin up?

i feel it i have like maybe 1mm of wobble where i feel the screen jiggle just a fraction. its starting to eat at my insides.. its so small yet i cant stop from noticing it from time to time.

oh also the d'pad stinks

the wifi is fast i dont know why i read so much about it being slow. browsing is very slow but who wants to browse on a psp anyway.

[Amen]

Yeah, I think they're all a little wobbly. I read on the Playstation forums that some guys went through the trouble of tightening the screws up. I've thought about it, but so far so it doesn't really bother me. It was scary as first because I thought it was defective.

What's your problem with the D-Pad? I can get over to it pretty easily without issue. But the Wi-Fi? Man! We've got Verizon FIOS in my home and trying to download a game was projected to take 2 hours one day. I canceled it, went to my PS3 and had the game in 15 minutes. This 802.11b that the PSP requires the router to be on is aggravating, especially since we have a G in the house.

Got my Bluetooth remote for the PSP go this weekend. It boosts the audio volume and there's no delay on the audio that I've noticed.

got The Wire in effect today.

I just realized pressing L and R when the clock is up brings u to a calendar

[santana]

man im annoyed so
weekend before march 21st i took a road trip. left my psp go charger over at a buddys.. ok no big deal ordered a psp go cable off ebay for 3 bucks.. on my cell phone while driving home. three weeks later the cable arrives from hong kong.. psp go has been dead for two weeks. now this chinese cable isnt working. i purchased patchwork heroes like a retard two weeks ago through my ps3. this saturday my friend with my charger is coming in for a visit.

oh and btw amen the white joypad has become filthy

[Amen]

Damn, that's rough. One of those situations where bargain hunting fucks you. Would've been better off handing over the dough to Rapestop.
