I've had an 8Gb stick for a year and a half - cost me £90 at the time (about four million australian dollars!) and I've managed to get by with it nicely. Plenty of room for music, podcasts, and a handfull of episodes of my favourite shows.

Unfortunately my PSP 2000 has sat on my bedside table unused since I got my Nokia 5800 which, although one of the most disappointing phones I've ever owned in terms of software stability, has pretty much replaced all the functionality I got from my PSP.

Trouble was, although I love the functionality of the PSP I hate the ergonomics of it, so I'd rarely play games on it - it got most use gameplay-wise at the WipEout conventions. Aside from that I could seldom be bothered with the control compromise and loading times. When it's your main music player it's a pain to wait for a UMD game to re-boot at glacial pace each time you want to play a game instead.

I imagine the PSP Go! will improve upon that with regard to loading times, but there's no way they're redesigning the control layout in a hardware refresh and I can't motivate myself to play games on a single rubbish analogue nub. With my phone I get the music, video, and web browsing... but anywhere instead of just in a wireless zone.

I was proper a PSP evangelist as well - I have the camera and satnav attachments, but they'll really need to surprise me with the PSP Go! for me to pick one up again.
