If you wanted to see evidence of the decline of the disc format you need look no further than the fall of Sony’s Universal Media Disc (UMD).

But for all its positives, the lack of a disc drive carries some negatives. Go features slide out game controls - it’s very slick! When the game controls are slid back under the screen, the PSP Go will fit comfortably into your shirt pocket. Letting “Go” of the ROM-drive provides greater portability, a longer battery life and lets Go slim down further than its predecessors. The most significant change from the PSP 3000 to the new PSP Go is Sony's decision to scrap the UMD drive in favor of 16 GB of internal flash storage.

This makes the 3000 a tempting offer so it’s good to know what you’re getting into if you’re debating a portable gamer. Today the 3000 retails for slightly less than Go, and can be found in a Limited Edition Assassins Creed, Gran Turismo or Hannah Montana pack – something for everyone depending on your age and gender. The last PSP before the Go came out was the PSP 3000. But despite its heavy reliance on Sony and its DRM, I decided on the latest PSP called "Go" for a variety of reasons. A crash course in PSP was a lesson in portable media and state of DRM today.

So, I thought… what would be better than giving my boy the smaller, portable offspring of the PS3 itself – PlayStation Portable. My son often sees his dad playing with the PlayStation 3 and when I’m feeling generous I even give Bruce a try.

It’s Christmas, like any dad I wanted to get the perfect gift for my son, Bruce.
