How much do used XL's go for at Gamestop? $150?

If you are considering a PspGO, just check to make sure the games you want are available digitally; that's what made me choose the 3000. For example, Crisis Core, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Some of the Ys games (I think only Ys seven is downloadable)...anyhoo there are lots more. Just check first. And don't forget that "Playstation phone" :P

EDIT: oh, and I think they use slightly different memory sticks, so I don't know if you can transfer saves :(

I figured as much. I've been occasionally lurking eBay and Craigslist for used Go units, and most every listing includes a bunch of the games they've downloaded to jack up the price, which I have no use for. :( Thanks for the info.

EDIT: Just bought a white Go for $99! I can post a receipt if anyone really wants super-concrete evidence. Only downside is that the one I have didn't come with the USB cable (did come with charger), but I've seen some for under 5 bucks on Amazon. And holy crap, I just checked the games list, and the previous owner bought Chains of Olympus and a ton of PS1 games! Crap, I really want to keep these now. :(

The power cable is the usb cable as well...

Oh my god. I'm an idiot. Thank you.

Yeah, that's pretty cool.

I lost mine and every store I go to doesn't seem to have them. Odd.

a $99 PSPGo is tempting as I don't own a PSP (sold mine a while back), but I really don't need to be spending any money right now...And with the announcement of the PSP2 and the 3DS coming in March, I feel that the go will keep dropping in price...

also, does the PSP Go have any sort of memory built in or do you need a memory stick duo to do anything?

It has 16 GB (really 14 GB) of internal space.

What significant games are not available for download but are on disk for the PSP besides Kingdom Hearts?

^ I could never find a direct answer, but I do know some of the PSP games not currently available on the Playstation Network:
Lumines, Lumines II, Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II, and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

The original Bomberman on PSP was for awhile not available until recently. I've been considering to pick up the Metal Gear Solid Digital Novel.

I want that Silent Hill graphic/digital, think it was called Silent Hill Experience. Not sure if it is there on PSN or not.

So is that 3 free game promotion thing for any Go you register? Works with these used ones as well?

hmm im wondering this as well, i just registered the used one i bought last night.. anyone knows let me know id be loving that!

Its a full on kernal exploit, the current status is that it is 'coming soon' and it is out to certain members of the modding community (i'm not one of them though). I know one of the guys that has it and he says its the real deal, i think what the wait is now is a chess game in terms of OFW version and CFW versions with Sony.

I'm interest in Ys... but from the Wiki page of downloadable games shows that all the Ys games are downloadable.... is this page not right?

No Atlus is quite good about putting their games for download. Square Enix is the only one with the problem.

New dropped to $150. Might just buy a new one if I cant find a used one in flawless condition.

Wonder if this might become a universal price drop soon. Hope other stores take effect and I'll pick up a new one. I personally wouldn't get a used one because of the 3 free games offer, which can only be claimed once per PSPGo, once someone else registers it you can't get the 3 free games with it.

I'm hoping for $150 as the new MSRP, but mostly to take advantage of the Carl's Jr coupon!

What is the Carl's Jr. coupon? Is there a Hardee's coupon too?

Carls Jr coupon is a $50 off coupon that works at target for the PSPGo.
