The PSP Go in 2024 Is Still Amazing

I bought a used PSP Go for about £80 in relatively good condition and I really liked it, so I made a video on it! I think if you're into small handhelds like the Miyoo Mini, you should keep an eye out for a good deal on one of these. I wanted to show the SD card mod but it's taking a while to arrive, and to be honest it doesn't demonstrate anything other than extra storage -- so I omitted that from the video.

    My parents got one of these for my baby brother in 2009, which in itself is such a fond memory for me. He soon after got a gaming PC and left behind his consoles, and since then I've taken custody of them. Used to take this nugget to school with me and play tekken during lunchtimes. Recently found it again and am in the process of reviving it. Wish me luck 😭

    Literally loading my PSP Go with games right now - what perfect timing! Thanks for sharing! Also, I agree that the advantage of the PSP Go is its sleek design, along with its ability to play PSP and older Nintendo games so well. I’m going to use it as my primary device for the next while to get the most enjoyment out of it possible. Cheers!

    I have a 3DS, Vita, Switch and a PSP Go and the Go has been getting far more use than the others. Some people think the the form factor is uncomfortable but I love it, even for longer play sessions. I love how pocketable it is too I take it with me everywhere I go.

    Honestly would recommend one of these if you're interested in playing a bunch of GBA games, that's one of my favourite things about modding this.

    I did the power armor shell (bought from AliExpress) and a brand new vita battery. For me, the bigger shell makes it more comfortable to hold but still keeps the form factor and pocketability. I am also getting 3d printed shoulder buttons that extend out more to fit with the extended backing. All in all I think the power armor/bigger battery mod is a no brainer. Not to mention like 6-8 hours of play time on max brightness and volume.

    I love the go, the buttons and dpad hold it back, one day I want to swap and mod it all out, I don't really have those skills, I could probably manage it. I had a Slim model too and loved it but it got stolen, I do plan to get another at some point, I kind of like the slim model more, but the go has many things going for it.

    With the rise of retro gaming and x86 gaming handhelds, xperia play and Psp remakes go needs a comeback. Xperia play was a breath of breath air over the sea of repetitive form factor of smartphones We don't need that crappy, limited and overpriced ps portal. AYN already beat sony with a beefed up Vita on odin 2 mini. Come on Sony. Do something, man.
