@Dr. Evil Genius: No. In fact I'm waiting for stable CFW for it myself. I love my classic phat psp. I remember the day I got CFW I ripped all of my UMDs to my memstick and felt awesome being able to flip between games without carry UMDs around.
@Anonymoose: Is that what you’ve named the little guy?
Fear not, I like my Timmys to be men!

When are noobs going to stop throwing LEDs into shit?
They're the script-kiddies of modding.
Go online -
Pester people about the amount of power in device -
pester more people about the brightest LEDs -
find LED power calculator -
Brag incessantly about your nigh unusable device.
*sigh*
This is probably the worst mod I've ever seen. Completely pointless!
If someone has gone to the trouble (and voided the warranty) of opening the thing up, it would seem worthwhile doing a little more than just wiring up some LEDs!
It qualifies as a mod about as much as sticking rhinestones to the case.
@LittleJon: You obviously don't understand the point of modding do you? It's not always about function or practicality, but about having fun and feeling proud of what you created/modded.
You say its not much more of a mod than putting rhinestones? Well I think you voided your own argument in the paragraph prior to that one. He actually had to wire the LEDs up, find room for them, cut holes in the damn thing.
@Z Naught: As an electronics engineer, I can tell you that wiring up a few LEDs is no big deal. It's a bit like saying that you did some home improvement because you changed the toilet roll!
Oh.. I just realized I can explain it. From two separate angles.
A:) You have buttons on the PSP Go. End of discussion. But no! It isn't over, apple fanbois!
B.) An outdated long term cost of ownership quote from an article on some web page:
"
$599 iPhone x 8% sales tax ($47.92) = $646.92
$60 required cellular plan + $5 (taxes & fees) x 24 months = $1560
Total cost: $2,206.92.
"
For two grand I can buy myself a different PSP Go for every day of the week, and seven unique copies of seven games for each day. And guess what? This is before the December price drop which will surely happen. This is launch price of $245 per PSP.
Sony mis-marketed this. The PSPGo compares badly against the PSP in areas that matter - library size, used library size and availability.
No, it shouldn't be a PSP. It should be Sony's answer to the iPod Touch and the Zune HD - that way it's more in line with what people expect.
But call it a PSP and now it fairs worse. It's not a PSP. It's a media player that has an app store as well (that sells PSP-ish games, but no real apps...).

That said, I think I want a PSP just to play GT.

@Kaiser-Machead:
At this point, I am just looking to replace my imported PSP-2000 that is aging.
It would also be nice if I can get access to the newer PSP games - like the GT you mentioned earlier.

Some of the issues there are really incredible. For example, 1GB game downloads, but only a 802.11b wireless connection!?
