I created a PSN account and linked it to my PSPGo VERY easily. To be fair, I lost access to the downloaded version of Socom that was already on there, but I didn't see it as a big loss, so I was fine with it.

What article from wiki? Anyways, yes you can create a new account easily. Don't know why you haven't tried it? Also, once you do, you will not be able to play the prev. owner games.

I'm still waiting for my cables to come in because my hand can get slightly cramped from playing, but it has still been really neat. I own a 1000 and a 2000 and played them a bit, but the Go has really brought me back into enjoying the PSP library.

in regards to the wiki
The PSP Go Wikipedia page mentions "a PSP must be linked to a single PlayStation Network account." but that means one at a time so you can not have two on one device at once i believe.

Got one that looks great. Thanks OP!

Got one as well. Thanks again OP! Also, does any keep getting an error where it won't update and keep stating that it cannot connect to the server? I've tried to do it manually, and for some reason it downloads at 300-500 KB/sec. And it takes a while to download for some reason. Thanks for any help!

I had problems updating through the system but was able to grab 6.60 off the official PSP site with no problems. It was around 35Mb maybe and only took a few seconds to download for me.

I've been playing with mine all week. Someone mentioned the novelty wearing off. While my hand gets a little cramped it has really made me rediscover some great stuff in the PSP Library that i had missed. I got one of my two fully set up and ready to go. (no poor pun intended) minus my cables I'm waiting on to hook it up to the TV.

I kind of keep trying to bump this thread. If you are on the fence still. 50 dollars is a great price for the hardware, and investing a little more can get you a neat on TV set up. Plus with the GameStop UMD sale that just ended and with how cheap UMDs are helps a bit.a lot of games outside of the more hard to come by and super popular ones are under 10 dollars.

Seriously thank you OP. 50 bucks is a great price. Enjoying mine quite a bit. Dracula X chronicles is amazing!

I have a white vita, just bought a 3DS XL a minute ago but i still find myself wanting this! ugh - if I can find a while one I'd probably do it.

Yep, it's the very first game I got for my PSPGo too!

The only issue I've had was that the power switch and the wireless switch are too low I always fear accidentally flipping one.

If you guys are having trouble picking this up for $50, don't buy one. There are too many pros to outweigh the cons for the system. 16gb of space is really all the space you ever need to put a couple games, some wallpaper pictures, and maybe a soundtrack or two. If you have a problem with space, you can always delete the games you don't play and put them on at a later date or you can pony up the extra cash for a memory stick. I thought the psp go was a steal for this price, assuming you can get a good one. I actually like less people buying the psp go @ $50 because it might mean we might get another price drop on these bad boys soon. Still waiting for them to drop the DS XL @ this price point in the future. Don't really need it like the psp go but would be nice to have as well.

I don't really listen to music on portable gaming devices, but audiophiles claim that PSP GO has a lot better audio clearity over PSP Vita (and including PSP 3000s) when using the same headphones. I think I read one review where someone made a very bold statement saying it was better than the A-series.

also Jyabbz, i think you meant, buy one and not don't buy one by reading your context.

I meant for $50 absolutely buy a PSP Go. But if you are still having doubts then don't because it means the Go will sit in the shelves a little longer and maybe that will trigger a price drop for others on the fence.

Saw the PsP Go Cradle at TRU today for exactly $3.00. Didn't get one though as I do not own a Go

So I just visit any local gamestop.
And ask if I can browse their used PSP Go selection and choose the best one & it'll be 50 plus tax right? Cool.
Do the controls change if you use your Dual Shock?
For example the dual Joysticks compared to the Just left the go has...

Only on the fence cause kinda want a vita. Thought bout the GO for now and see what happens with the prices on the Vitas. Opinions are appreciated!

You can choose to set the right analog stick to d-pad, face buttons, left analog stick (no point in having the same thing on two sticks) or off.

That's it. Ask to see more then one if they have a few and have them plug it in. make sure it charges and holds a charge. that the screen is in decent shape all the buttons work OK and you are good to go.

and while you are there take a glance for the PSP Go starter kit for 5 dollars so you have a case for it and you will be all set.

Closest one is 93 miles away. Damn.

I'm wanting to play ALL the Metal Gear games and the only one I don't have is "Portable Ops" and for some reason the digital download of it can't be played on Vita. Ugh. :(
