Overview
The PSP Go is the download-only PSP. There's no UMD drive at all; games come from the PlayStation Store onto 16 GB of built-in storage, with room for another 16 GB on a Memory Stick Micro card. The screen slides up to reveal the controls.
It's 43% lighter than the original PSP, adds Bluetooth for headsets and a PS3 controller, and charges through its own connector instead of mini USB. It sold poorly and was dropped outside North America in 2011, which is a big part of why collectors look for one now.
