    PSP Go's are quite fantastic, but they are wayyyyyyyyy overpriced.

    iPod Touch/iPhone all the way.

    the next whiskey bar
    wonder if Apple would make a new "version" of the iPT for playing games
    It'd be really nice if it was faster and needs way longer battery life

    Ipod Touch (or iPhone) is the best gaming platform.

    @Omega: I've played the whole range of DS games. Yeah there are some fun ones, but slot use the touch screen, which kinda sucks. Just 'poor mans' versions? It's called portable versions, and DS has it's fair share too. Go ahead and name some more DS games, I don't care, Ive played them all. And I will stand behind that the games on PSP eclipse theIr DS conterparts. You give me a DS game, Ill give you a PSP game that's better.(especially a racing or f/3ps).
    First page of this thread, I exclaimed that DS was the shit. I traded it for PSP, and I would never go back.
    After thinking about it a lil bit, if you like a strategy/brain game and spending countless hours swiping a stick across a screen, get the DS. But if you like action, gritting your teeth and biting your tounge get a psp. Seems like every game on there besides speed racer, ridge racer, moon, cod, metroid, and Mario, are just a bunch of puzzle games

    Bangai-O! I would take a DS and that game over a PSP and it's whole library. That's not saying the PSP isn't good, it's just highlighting how incredibly amazing Bangai-O is.

    Keep telling yourself that, because is not. Again, name a better game on your beloved PSP that's better than The World Ends With You, or Mario and Luigi 3, or Zelda Phantom Hourglass / Spirit Tracks, or Mario Kart DS, or Castlevania Order of Ecclesia, or Bangaio Spirits, or Dragon Quest 9, etc.

    Hint: You can't. ;)

    Uh it's definitely a matter of opinion since I didn't really like any of those games besides Mario Kart's online play was pretty cool. So I guess I could name a lot of games on the PSP I like more than those. Doesn't neccessarily make it overall better, nor does your opinion mean those games are better than the games I like.

    I was thinking about getting the PSP Go but I have a few questions first. Do you buy the games from the device store or do you buy them off your computer? If you buy them off your computer, is the Go compatible with a Mac?

    Three methods:

    1) Download direct to PSP
    2) Download to PS3 and copy over
    3) Download to Windows based PC and copy over
