Just wondering what the general thoughts are about the PSP and new PSPgo compared to the iPod touch.

Peace
 
touch is a media player first and foremost, psp is a portable gaming device

why compare?

I think the PSPgo is now a good media player and gaming system. Just weighing my options.

Peace
 
I have a new 3rd gen touch and will be getting the psp go for christmas. There two different things so you really cant compare them.
 
I think with the Go they are closer than most might think.

You can add memory and such , can't do that with the iPod.

Peace
 
Hi,

I have both. The PSP is the 2000 version and the ipod is the previous version.

The PSP is HORRIBLE at surfing the web. When I am watching tv I like to check up on things online and the iPod is perfect for that.

The PSP has less games but they are more of the common games you are used to, final fantasy, god of war, etc.

Pick based on what is most important to you.

If internet, personal apps (like bank sites), and causal games are your thing go with ipod. If you just want hardcore gaming go with PSP.
 
Can't really compare but to say that the Go is close to an iPod is kind of stupid.
The iPod has apps for a number of things that the Go simply cannot do.

Basically if you don't care about the apps then maybe the Go is better because it has media functions.

I still think the iPod looks better than anything else. Especially an ugly PSP Go!
 
PSP is a pure gaming device 80-20.
ipod touch is more a surfing communication device with some games 20-80.

I have both...
 
i say compare it by which one has better stuff when hacked.. and right now pspgo isnt hacked!
