Default Psp go

Im doing one of my regular trips to the US next week and was thinking of looking into the price of a PSP GO or maybe an older model. Especially considering the Aussie dollar is so strong right now.

Is a PSP worth it? How much are the used / new in the US?

If I dont get a GO will the UMD games from Australia work on a US model?

Anything else I shoudl consider picking up in the US?

But anyways, the PSP GO just hit, so finding one used be rare. They go for $250 new.

The old PSP's (3000) models are about $110-130 used.

Id say if you got the extra money, hit up the PSP GO, I've only heard good things about it.

I have a PSP-3000 and I love it. Got Gran Turismo for it a week or two ago and I can't put it down! Jury is out for me about the Go- I like the 'old-style' PSP seeing as I have one anyway.

Being from the UK and living in the US now, I can tell you that the games are not region coded, but the UMD movies are, or at least they were a couple of years ago. That may have changed since the release of the Go. Don't know how movies work on the Go i.e. no UMD- so no idea if movies on a memory stick will be region coded.

Hope this helps!

This.

Better yet, look for a used 2000 for $80~
