I advice to buy PSP GO since your states provides all the best it can, 16GB flash memory are much more good than previous PSP-3000 which need some cost in buying additional memory card. In Asian there so many illegal makes them to goes piracy because of content in PSN not much to compare U.S, Europe and Japan market are much wider any asian country. The price are much more cheaper than afford the original. Now even PSP-3000 costing around $178 dollar or RM600 for standard version (black colour) or $223 dollar or RM750 in variety of colour to choose. But still exp on UMD which is not value to buy since PSP GO launch unless you're from other country than Asian.
