The Game Boy platform (which includes the original unit, the Game Boy Pocket, and the Game Boy Color) came to market when most video game consoles had a life expectancy of just a few years. More than a decade later, the system is still going strong. How did the Game Boy successfully compete--and in some cases bury--an onslaught of faster, more powerful handheld and home console systems? Let us count the ways: affordability, a huge library of games that consistently made the most of the hardware's limitations, smart power management that extended battery life, and uncluttered controls. But perhaps it was the system's ultraportable design that allowed devotees to play video games around their schedule, making it the must-have system for kids and adults alike. Less

My son has upgraded from this but we decided to keep it around the house & it still works as good as day 1.  I think it would be more for younger kids (10 & under) due to the games that are available. Read full review »

I like the configuration of this Game Boy the best out of all of them.  Unfortunately, the non-backlit screen is a real downer for me.  We'd take these on long car trips and they'd be useless unless you had one of those light accessories and even then they were difficult to see. ...

Sony PSPgo (PSP GO) (16GB) Black Video Game Handheld System

bysaraab Jul 13, 2010
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Smaller, lightweight, fits in pocket
Cons EXPENSIVE for both system and games, download only games, cannot use UMD's at all
Recommended it? No

While the Sony PSPgo looks great and is a beautiful machine, I feel it is a step down when comparing it to the features of the PSP 3000.

The system costs $249 at retail price and comes with the basic accessories needed to operate the system.  If you have previously owned a PSP you will... Read full review »

This PSP is nice for newcomers, but not necessary for PSP veterans.

Pros Good build. Good design. Great tactile buttons. Smaller size makes portable media more...
Cons Weak game library. Can't borrow or buy used games. No UMD compensation offered...
Recommended it? Yes

After thoroughly playing around with the PSP go, many of you might be wondering whether or not this system is worth its $250 pricetag.

In some regards, it is. Most notably if you own no prior PSP system, or lack any mobile media playing device, the the PSP Go could intrigue you. However,... Read full review »
