1: You access the PlayStation Store from the PSP itself using it's wireless internet connection, from a PC using Sony's Media Go program or you can use a PlayStation 3.

2: Games range from €3 for some of the small bite-size games to €30-40 for the big game newest releases. There are discounts every now and then though but you won't get as many bargains as going to a store or buying online would get you.

3: If you mean the price of the PSP Go itself, HMV and Tesco were selling it cheaper than everywhere else in the UK on launch day so maybe they'll discount it here too. If you mean the games, I'm not sure. The Go has only been out over week so we don't know if the sales they've been having on games on the PlayStation Store will run every week or just every now and then.

I think GameStop had a DS trade-in deal around the launch of the DSi, can't remember really. You thinking of getting a DSi? I might have to at some point, apparently next year some DSi only games will be coming out.

Sorry, meant a trade in scheme involving an old PSP and GO.

Ah right, I'm not sure actually. GameStop don't seem to be pushing the Go in the same way as Game and HMV. I didn't see any adverts when I was in there today about it anyways. Why, you thinking of getting one? :pac:

Do you need a credit card to get the games from PSN store or can you buy vouchers in shops and type in the code or something?

And what happens to all my UMD form games?Can they be downloaded free if you have bought them?

Anyone else think it looks impossible to use?

Thought the same about DS when I first saw it and it can be difficult at times. Anyone any hands on experience?

No you can't, unfortunately. What you can do though is get 3 games for free from Sony by registering your PSPgo and your old PSP with a UMD in the drive. You pick 3 games from a list of 17. Linky.

For me it's probably more comfortable for every game except Monster Hunter. The triggers, being larger, mean that it's probably more comfortable to hold for most people than other PSPs because you're not forced to hold it one specific way. The position of the analog nub feels more natural to me. My old PSP is comfortable to hold for me as well though, I guess the PSPgo is just slightly more ergonomic.
