Ars Technica wrote this review recently on the PSP GO.
Ouch, scratch that portable off the list. Definitely worth the read though.
From the review:
The Good
•The screen is beautiful in action
•Clicky, responsive buttons
•Hardware is aesthetically pleasing
•The pause function is great
•Bluetooth headset, to use with your bluetooth headset, PS3 controllers, or to tether to your cell phone
•Sound is strong using the built-in speakers
The Bad
•The system can't download games while you're doing other things
•Way too expensive
•Absolutely no way to play any of your existing games
•Controls are cramped
•Smaller screen
•Games tend to be more expensive than retail
•No competition in pricing for games
•No way to sell games you buy
•None of your cables or accessories will work, except for headphones
•Screen is wasted while closed, only shows clock, calendar
The Ugly
•Waiting hours to download a patch, charge your batteries, buy a game, download your game, and then install your game, and then finally... guess what? playing your game!
•Your system can already do what this system claims to do, and better. Minus the bluetooth and the 16GB of internal storage, this is a step back in every way
•If Sony continues this trend, expect a $500 PS3 that doesn't play Blu-ray discs

Plus they already found a hack for the PSP GO lol Sony keep failing more!
Till they do some more hardware improvement and it must be something good I won't get another one I alreayd have 2 the first one and the psp 3000.
1 psp per year is a stupid thing they think money grow on trees or something....
No backwards compatibility means no sale to me.
Too bad Sony has gone away from the PS1/PS2 policy. I still don't have a PS3 for this reason.

Yeah the lack of backwards compatibility is an odd decision. But, you do know you can play PS 2 games on the PS3 right?

I heard the most recent version of PS3 wasn't backwards-compatible. Is that wrong? Also, what about PS1 games, which are more important to me, frankly.

No this is correct. Sony did away with backwards compatability a year or two ago.
Yes, it would be almost impossible to find a backwards compatible PS3 at a normal store now.
BUT all Ps3s ARE compatible with PS1 games, so remember that
Hmmm. I'll have to consider getting one, then. Not sure if anything has come out on the PS3 worth buying , though. The RPGs seem to be coming out for other systems.

Ah, thats right I forgot about the PS3 Slims doing that. I have an older model that is still backwards compatible.
