No way, you're only on a 5GB cap Ahmad?

I'd use that up just regularly updating my iPhone apps.

Typical of US tech companies forgetting that some countries don't have unlimited broadband data.

Even so, Ahmad, how do you get the most out of all your internet-connected gadgets with only 5GB data per month? You've got gaming consoles, mac, iPhone, iPad. I can't imagine even using those devices normally and staying under 5GB.

Apple updates aside I'm usually ok. Since I'm the only heavy user of internet in the household I've decided to budget for that 5Gb as it would cost a lot more to go to the next level.

I have other sources for the Apple updates normally which helps because they are huge.

I got 20gig a month and I've never gone over. The only big files I download are games and demos. Hell, I still buy my music in diskular format.

I never went over 20GB until I started watching a lot of movies and TV shows on Apple TV via iTunes and Netflix. Now I'm pushing my 40GB cap.

Considering all this it's still way cheaper than Sky and it's all on demand. Netflix is amazing.

Ahmad, you have unmetered D/L from Akamai, right?

one week on and I'm very happy with it (this is when buyers remorse kicks in for me )

I have 14 games on it with a few gigs spare. Battery life seems pretty good. And the screen is gorgeous. Very limited accessories for it if you swing that way. I have a old DS lite case and it fits nicely in there otherwise nicely in my pocket (the other PSP's were just o big to keep in a pocket, about the same dimensions as my iphone except a bit fatter.

Aussie has just got a official price drop on these so maybe they'll come down here too. I've always enjoyed gaming on a PSP so it's a good machine for me. If you were never were a fan of the PSP, then the PSP go probably wont convince you otherwise.

I mentioned it in the Bargains forum but Bond and bond (from wednesday) have the PSP3000 for $139. At that price you could almost buy the ten games on umd that come with the PSPgo for less than $250 combined

Gutted. Sony have had a bad time this gen, they've made so many missteps:

* Bad launch due to high price-point.
* Removing PS2 support and I/O from the PS3
* Removing Other OS support from the PS3
* PSP Go flopped
* Exposing all PSN user personal data
* Current massive PSN loss of service

Have I missed anything?

I'm looking forward to learning more on the psp 4000. I may even trade in my 3000 in order to upgrade if things are good for this country.
