Dare to compare: PSPgo and PSP-3000

So with PSPgo is available now, which PSP should you buy? Here are the facts that I get to help you decide:

PSPgo

The good.
- It's smaller, lighter, and has cooler design.
- It has a system pause option. You can pause in the middle of your game, go to media bar to listen music and watch video. After that you can go back and resume your game.
- It has 16GB internal hard drive. Should you need more space, you can buy Memory Stick Micro (M2) and slot it into your PSPgo.
- You can transfer your old UMD games into your PSPgo. But Sony hasn't explained how and when.
- You can hook up your PSPgo to your PS3, and plug your PS3 controller to PSPgo and you will able to play PSP games on your PS3.

The bad.
- Its $249. Unless you are really loaded, the price is ridiculous. Why pay more for less feature?
- Say goodbye to your Memory stick PRO duo. It is not compatible.
- Comes in only two colours black and white.
- Since Sony hasn't confirmed how do you play your old UMD on your new PSPgo. There is a chance you might not be able to play it.

PSP-3000

The good.
- Its way cheaper. $169. A preferable device during this tough economy.
- Slightly bigger screen than PSPgo.
- You can use your Memory PRO duo to store your digital games.
- Comes in a lot of colours and bundles.

The bad.
- It's bigger and heavier.
- You won't be able to digitize your UMD games and you have to carry a stack of UMD everywhere you go.
