PSP Go or 3DS?

My b-day is coming soon and I don't know what I should get for myself.
I sold my old iPhone 3GS for about 300$ and know I'm using the iPhone 4.
So I got myself 300$ and I'm deciding what I should get on my b-day (yes, I'm making a present to myself).
I first wanted a 3DS but its useless atm. and they don't sell games for it in my area.
But know I'm searching in amazon for the PSP go which is 120-170$, and as I heard its really easy to hack.
And it has 16gb internal memory so I won't have to buy a memory card for it.
But the 3DS update is going to be here in a couple of hours, so maybe its not that useless.
+ 3D, the psp doesn't have that,
I have never seen a 3DS in 3D in my life and I would love to see the experience.
The 3DS is kinda pricy, 250$, it costs more than a Wii.
The 3DS isn't hacked, but the PSP Go is.


So as you see, I don't know which to get.
Please advise me.


EDIT: I WILL GO PIRATE ANYWAYS, BECAUSE THATS THE ONLY REASON TO GET A PSP GO, DUH!

The Go is a pirate's dream. The PSP has a solid library and fantastic homebrew. I got one a few months ago and absolutely don not regret buying it. It really is a fantastic device.

Get the 3DS in a few years by then there will actually be games available for it and possibly be cheaper than it is now.

Just asking. :)[/quote]

Nah, you can mostly likely flash it back to OFW. Deleting traces of installing CFW. Either way, nothing requires you to open up the go therefore breaking the warranty seal.

You can get both if you buy used
a used PSP GO is about $100 and a used 3DS is like $175-$200

[quote name='chris888222' post='3692292' date='Jun 6 2011, 05:25 AM']PSP-Go doesn't support UMDs, and most of the greater games are there. It is only really great when you go pirate.[/quote]
Jesus Christ, did you even read the opening post? Do you realize what site you are on?


Anyway, I actually vote for PSP Go. If you've already played Ocarina of time, what's the point of replaying the same game with small upgrades? Heck, they didn't even bother updating the music besides adding one orchestral piece. You've already played it. Same deal with Starfox, and pretty much every Nintendo game except Kid Icarus. PSP has a fantastic list of games and quite honestly my favorite handheld of all time, even beating out the DS. It takes less than 5 minutes to switch the firmwares, and no need for any additional hardware.

You expect to see love for a handheld made by SONY, (you know, that one company Nintendo fans hate with passion for "always copying their work") in a site full of ignorant Nintendo fanboys?

Not everyone here is a Nintendo fanboy.

I'd go with both, like one user said, you could buy both of them used.

I picked up a PSPGO for $100 new. There's a lot of great games for it and that's more than I can say for the 3ds. It's hacked so that's a plus. The good colors haven't come out for the 3ds yet. There's no good games and it's not hacked. I went with the go. Screw the 3ds for now. I'm not going to buy a console that's not hacked with no good games. I'll get one when the scene gets better, when it's a good value for the money.

I'm just exaggerating of course.

Though a good chunk of the community actually does think that way.

True, but not everyone does. Guild is a good example of one that doesn't

But, let's get back on topic.

I'd prefer the PSP Go, mainly because the 3DS is bound to fail in the next few months.

Too true.

EDIT: Just thought I'd say I bought a 1000 yesterday and love it.

Thanks guys

Good choice. You'll be able to enjoy everything the PSP has to offer (along with great PSX compatability) and at a cheaper price than the 3DS. Get one in a couple months, it'll be pirated then and maybe more than 2-3 decent games.
