the better choice is the 2000 since it doesn't have the scanline issues the 3000 has... all games you buy from the PSN are yours to redownload as you wish incase of memcard wipes... the PSPGo! has internal memory and uses SD Cards for memory expansion whereas the 2000/3000 use memstick Pro Duo, which i like better myself... it also apears that Sony is not getting rid of UMD since the demand for it is still great so those of us that opted for UMD can still get the bonus goodies you often get for special editions, no goodies for the DigitalDownload only ppl...
