The screw and neccessary screw driver are bog standard Philips head types. Even if you strip the screw you can just walk into the next hardware store and replace it for a few cents. If you don't want the original Nintendo battery (15 dollars), there are third parties selling batteries with a screw driver inlcuded. :)<br><br>What extends the battery life of a PSP more effectively is custom firmware, as there is no need to spin a disk at high speeds when you have dumped your game to a memory stick. I'm guessing the PSP Go comes with a smaller lighter battery because of this. No, don't worry. The screw and neccessary screw driver are bog standard Philips head types.

Extra length might cause some signal degredation, but it's only 480p, right? Any cables you have lying around should be fine. shouldn't be a problem. it doesn't actually matter what colour the cables are, so long as you match the right input to the right output.

But then the DSi does play all the old DS games you own and only forgoes old features like the GBA slot. <br>If there's indeed no way to play all the UMD games that one alrdy has other than buying them again digitally, I don't think this model is very viable.. I mean the 3000 can also download Patapon 2 w/ a memory stick. I didn't think the UMD was that bad, might be noisy to play on a bus.. and w/ the extended battery pack on the 2000 (not 1000), it actually last like 7-8 hrs, instead of 3-4.

That's only good for watching UMD movies on a TV, but playing PSP games on a HD TV requires a component, that can be extended too? By RCA cables you mean the white-red-yellow ones right?

I don't want to risk stripping the screw, which I pretty much did when I upgraded my PS3's HD to a 320 Gb, used the wrong screwdriver the first time. I was wondering if the PSP Go would use the same kind of PSP battery since I bought the 2200 mAh one, it makes the 2000 last much longer, but the trade off is it feels bulkier and heavier again like the 1000.

But I've already bought a lot of umd games (think I have about 40), and I'm not going to re-buy them now. I'm also not a big fan of digital games if any drm is involved (I've imported games from europe to get physical copies). For me the psp will be a dead console to me once there are no more umd disks to be had. I think that's the part that makes me the most upset.. it's not a psp2.

Just a few generic cable and some double-female connectors you should be golden. RCA cables are cheap. Just a few generic cable and some double-female connectors you should be golden.

It wouldnt dump the info since UMD is a write only drive. But, maybe if somehow it regonized the game could download a copy of that game from PSN to the PSPgo. Unless there is a unique code or something on the UMD that would prevent it from being copied more than once, I dont think it will happen unfortunately.there was some talk about a kiosk that would copy the game. hmmmm, I am skeptical of that too though. Their argument will be that the classic is still available so you can play your UMDs on that I bet. that sounds great to me but it also sounds like a DRM nightmare for Sony.
