Got a PSPgo, did I make a mistake?

Anyway, got it for 125$. No games. I was looking through and didn't see any first off that I liked. Phantasy star portable isn't even an option.
What are some good ones if I like RPGs?

First rule of video games, by the system that has the games you want to play.
A lot of the the PSOne RPGs are being released on the PSP.
Here is a good list Google found. Final Fantasy, Disgaea, and Valkyrie Chronicles would all be good starts.
I don't personally like being limited to PSN games, so I would not have bought a Go (especially considering I've got a bunch of UMDs), but if this is your first PSP, it isn't a mistake per se.
If you like RPGs there are a bunch of PS1 Classics. Final Fantasy VII and VIII (as well as Final Fantasy Tactics if you like SRPGs), Wild Arms I and II, and Suikoden. As for PSP games, there are quite a few as well. While browsing the store, you can select "View by genre" and select RPGs to get a list.
Protip - MediaGo is generally fucking worthless, but using it to download a game while your PSP is connected via USB is usually quicker than downloading it directly to the PSP over wifi.
edit: I forgot to mention, you can download games directly to your PSP from your computer without using MediaGo. Just login to your PSN account from the website and select Download List. You can select the game you want to download and it will start the PlayStation Network Downloader without starting up MediaGo.
Im bitter because I own a go and don't have either of those games. but monster hunter FU and castlevania x will have to do
hows the wild arms SRPG? reviews are rather mixed
I have a PSP Go and love RPGs so I'd say you didn't make a mistake. Really, the only big problem is the lack of most of Square-Enix's catalog which hopefully will be fixed soon.
Half-Minute Hero just had a price drop yesterday ($20) and was one of my favorite games of 2009. It's a fantastic parody of the RPG genre.
Pretty much the entire Atlus, NIS America, and XSeed Games catalogs are available on the PSN so there's plenty of good RPGs in there. Some personal favorites are Persona, Wild Arms XF, Disgaea, and Brave Story. Crimson Gem Saga's not bad (although it gets unbalanced towards the end) & I've heard great things about Jeanne D'Arc. Though not actually RPGs, Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman & Prinny are both fun games that RPG fans wou
For PSOne Classics, you have Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy Tactics (original PS1 version, not the PSP remake), Suikoden, and Wild Arms 1-2.
For Action games with heavy RPG elements, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is supposed to be awesome if you can handle the difficulty & learning curve, and I've heard good things about the Armored Core games. Final Fantasy: Dissidia also seems fun (I've only played the demo) and has a heavy amount of RPG elements for a fighting game. Oh and if you like tower defense games (many RPG fans do), there are several to chose from - the best probably being Pixeljunk Monsters Deluxe.
For upcoming stuff, Persona 3 Portable & Hexyz Force both look good and are both coming in both UMD & PSN versions.

It's really good. If you actually look at the negative reviews, most of the complaints are that it actually requires strategy and you can't just powerlevel through everything.
The divisive thing about Wild Arms XF is that there's a lot of class changing. You should look at the map & your goal and decide your classes based on that rather than just pick one class and stick with it. Personally, I think it's awesome - there are a gazillion classes and not just your standard Knight, Thief, Mage stuff either (lots of weird ones); the graphics & music are both excellent; and the story's not bad either. And at a mere $15, it's also one of the best deals on the PSN.

In that case, no.
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
My Game Boy Micro has kinda gotten me sold on tiny handheld game systems. But then I kinda glance over at my wall of UMDs and change my mind.
If it ever gets to around $150 though I might grab one just as a PSX handheld.

I've heard good things about Half Minute Hero and Jeanne d'Arc though.
I haven't gotten too far, but the main mechanic is similar to that sony game legend of dragoon. Basically, during battles you can power up into a stronger form and do rad shit before turning back into your meager, loser self.
Another psp strategy game I played was yggdra union. I honestly hated it. The story was filled with so many cliches I started to think it was fucking with me. Also, battles look awesome but you have very little control, so whenever I won I wasn't sure if it was because I was doing something correctly or if I was just doing a good job at exploiting the rock/paper/scissors system.
Yes.
Because you easily could've gotten a 3000 for the price you paid for this Go. Not new, but that's still better.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. If it even gets to $150 or $170 (Like the current PSP) I might grab one as a dedicated Video player with the occasional game, considering my iPod Touch is 32GB of music, and I wouldn't be able to decide what to remove to put video onto the thing.

I carry my iPod Touch with me at all times, yet if I had a Go (or my current 2000 PSP) that had alot of the capabilities, I would much prefer it, having actual good games compared to the crap on the iPod would be amazing. I ust don't know what Sony was thinking with the Go, when they didn't bother to update some of the other glaring issues.
So far I have Resident Evil 2, Silent Hill and Final Fantasy VIII. It was a good investment in my opinion, as I rarely just sit down and play games anymore.
It hasn't really had much of an opportunity to disappoint me so far, but I'm enjoying Chains of Olympus and looking forward to Patapon and MGS: Portable Ops.
Also, Persona 3 PSP is getting a localization, so that's a nice plus. As well as Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and oh em effin gee VALKYRIA CHRONICLES 2!!!
Gift Card, Reward Zone Certificates, or is there some other sale I don't know of?

It's a long, long story. The short version is: I talked 'em into it.
That's why I got a PSP and not a DS. The DS has a ton of games that I'm mildly interested in, but nothing I feel I'm seriously missing out on by not playing.
I don't know why - perhaps it's just that lovely art style - but I've been dying to play Patapon. And Chains of Olympus. And Portable Ops.
With this year's crop of PSP titles, I was finally broken.
Edit: damnit, totp.
@ maximumzero - I replied to your question about the price - post is here.
For all you PSP owners, Go or otherwise, you can pick up a 16GB Memory Stick Micro M2 for $39.99 at J&R
It comes with a Pro Duo adapter so I'll be able to use it on my 3000 when it gets here.
Hopefully I can get over my scratch fear by then.

Correction. It's fucking amazing.
But yeah, the job system is built around ability synergy and creating the most amazing hybrid/custom classes that you can through the combination of support and active abilities from a collection of classes. When in a class you have all of their abilities (minus their mastery bonus); leveling up that class allows you to equip that class's abilities in other classes. It also helps that every single active ability in this game (most classes have four of them) are all useful instead of games like FFT where there's tons of crappy and redundant abilities.
It also has plenty of veering battle types instead of just "defeat all enemies" or "reach point x". There's escort missions, a stealth mission, plenty of hold the line / you shall not pass missions, etc. The stages are varied and there's always more than one way to go through them. And you can't power level through things; the game requires actual strategy.
And the soundtrack kicks ass.

Stuck pixel!
A stuck pixel (white, red, green, or blue) is sometimes fixable, a dead pixel (black) is not.
There are videos you can download that flash colors on the screen in an attempt to "jumpstart" the stuck pixel. I can't tell you if they work or not, but it might be worth a shot.
Edit: apparently success rate is 60%

Ironically, stuck pixels don't bother me as much as screen scratches.
The scratches I know I've caused myself. Heh.

Good luck.
I'm so tired of hearing this. Not a whole lot of people really give a shit about homebrew or emulators you silly goose.
Switch: 6200-8149-0919 / Wii U: maximumzero / 3DS: 0860-3352-3335 / eBay Shop
Not that I'd ever emulate a game ever because emulators are evil and all who emulate shall be forced to play Enter The Matrix until the end of days.
Are we even allowed to talk about this?
I'm not talking about this. I'm somewhere else talking about something else on a totally different forum.
It's freakin' hard. Thats really all there is to say.
Crisis core is a really really really good game. I definately recommend.
Not to mention there simple isn't enough for it to be worthwhile in the first place.
