Upgrade paths

storage

32 GB via Memory Stick Micro (M2) in addition to the fixed 16 GB internal flash · Internal flash cannot be expanded or swapped; the M2 slot is the only way to add capacity, and M2 cards were pricier and harder to find than standard Memory Stick Duo.

~$40 for a 32 GB M2 card at the time

EASY

other

custom firmware (CFW) via later exploited official firmware versions · Dropped UMD entirely in favor of downloads through the PlayStation Store, which made it a hard sell against the cheaper disc-based PSP-3000 and left owners dependent on Sony keeping older purchases re-downloadable.

MODERATE

battery

locked, internal battery only · Unlike earlier PSPs with a user-swappable pack, the Go's slide design buries the battery inside the case; replacement means a full teardown rather than a pop-out swap.
