I just can't decide...

[Spera01]

OK, well, if all goes to plan and I get my job in a week or two, I was planning on getting a PSP by the end of the summer. I mainly want it right now for Dissidia the most, so I was thinking about just waiting until the end of august to get the Dissidia PSP bundle. However, I also heard that Resident Evil Portable is supposed to be a PSP Go exclusive? So I dunno if I should wait for Go or what? Anyone got any advice?

There is no such thing as a PSP GO! exclusive game, all games will work on all SKU's. PSP GO! thing was just a random blurb, and shouldn't mean anything other than the game being a digital download title (which CAN work on any regular PSP as well).

Sony has said the PSP 3000 will stay on shelves along with the PSP Go, so I'm pretty sure that new games will not be download-only just yet. For the time being, it looks as though they're going to continue supporting UMD's and disc-based games. I'm looking for official word, though, and I can't find anything just yet.

If you really want the Dissidia PSP bundle than get it. I probably getting a Go just because I don't feel like buying tons of UMD and just want to get something that is new.

Really? So stuff like MGS Peace walker will be playable on the PSP 3000 as well?

I'll probably just get the Dissidia PSP bundle at the end of august, Dissidia I want so bad right now it isn't even funny. lol

[A-J]

Yeah, i mean it's not like there's anything different between a PSP 3000 and the PSP GO!, the hardware specifications are exactly the same, bar the lack of a UMD drive, and a few companies have already started doing digital downloads only (patapon 2 for example), so it's not like you won't be able to run anything on older PSP models.

[Spera01]

Alright then, seems like I'm getting the Dissidia bundle then. Thanks A-J and everyone else for the advice!

[Borman]

Exactly, the PSN already has downloadable PSP games, which still work on my PSP-1000, so really, just go for the model you personally like the most, comfort wise and looks

[riderkid]

well i was gonna get a ipod but with the psp go 16gb flash memory and the facti can play PSN games on it i thik i'll preorder it soon

[Mr. Spencer]

Just wait for the PSPgo, the PSP-3000 isn't particularly great to begin with and digital distribution is the way forward, especially now that UMD is a dead format and has been for a fair while now.

In addition, the PSPgo is very reasonably priced, a lot cheaper than I thought it would be actually. So yeah, wait for the PSPgo and make the purchase, you need to think about the future rather than the present.

[A-J]

^ the GO! is 250$, where as the Dissidia bundle is 199$, and has the game, Advent Children and a 2 GB stick to go with it. So he'd already be saving like 100$ there. I'm sure you can find cheap 16gig mem sticks for pretty reasonable prices.

(plus the GO! has a smaller screen, that's kind of a bummer).

[Mr. Spencer]

I don't know, I wasn't a fan of the PSP-3000. My own suggestion is to get the Slim/Lite if not the PSPgo.

[A-J]

Yeah, the 3000 has a fucked up screen that has some scanline issues or something, well i'm happy with my fat old 1000 model anyway.

Same here. It's never let me down.
