Sony PSP Go Reviews

Sony's next-generation PSP finally fits in the pocket where it belongs, but the lack of UMD drive and higher price just don't make it a solid buy.

More compact than previous-generation PSPs. 16GB onboard storage. Bluetooth

Have a library of PSP games? You're not playing 'em on the PSPgo. No support for old accessories either
