hey! im going with my psp 1000 all they way, the psp gos buttons are just way to hard to press and its just too small
Jul 16, 2009. 8:27 PMTombini says:
2000 all the way, can still be hacked and is lighter with twice the ram of the Phat
Jun 17, 2010. 7:51 PMLetsExplodeSomething says:
false they didn't double the RAM until 3000 series
Jun 18, 2010. 8:59 AMTombini says:
Look at the model table http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSP_2000#PSP-2000 QED

You're right Tombini I was misinformed in the first place then

PSP go sucks.  The PSP 3000 is the best.  First of all, the PSP go is download only, no UMD's.  Then the analog stick on it is rather misplaced.  Finally the go is overpriced.  The PSP 3000 has features that its predecessors don't have.  So there you have it.
May 4, 2010. 2:01 AMchibiwind says:
the PSP 3000 can't be used as an IR-Remote.
May 4, 2010. 3:36 PMDJ Radio says:
Who the hell uses a game console as an IR Remote?  What the heck does an IR Remote do anyways?
Jun 17, 2010. 7:50 PMLetsExplodeSomething says:
you can control traffic lights with it although it highly illegal and almost as dangerous as it is illegal
Jun 18, 2010. 4:59 AMDJ Radio says:
From what range and how?
May 16, 2010. 5:59 PMArvindTheNinja says:
I use my PSP-1000 to control a toy plane.
May 5, 2010. 1:01 AMchibiwind says:
you can use it as a universal remote, you know like for your TV or other peoples...hehehe
May 16, 2010. 7:02 PMDJ Radio says:
Trouble is that nobody does that, they buy a universal remote from a store or something.
Jun 16, 2010. 1:43 AMchibiwind says:
i don't use it as a remote, it's just a fun thing to do, like you can control things in your house via the internet it isn't practical but it's cool to mess around with. it's just an extra feature the others don't have
May 10, 2009. 8:11 AMDJ Radio says:
PSP 3000 is teh best. It has the best functions, the best looks, and the cheapest price.
Aug 2, 2009. 5:08 PMfastlines49s says:
the cheapest price... LAUGH yea right
Aug 2, 2009. 5:25 PMDJ Radio says:
its cheaper than the other PSPs.
Jun 16, 2010. 1:50 AMchibiwind says:
lol
Jun 16, 2010. 1:46 AMchibiwind says:
no it isn't, psp 1000s are available for $130, psp3000 are available for about $160 this is at EB games
Jun 16, 2010. 12:17 PMDJ Radio says:
1000's are old models. I wasn't counting them.
Apr 12, 2009. 1:39 AMj0nathan says:

Is there a way to "Downgrade" SWF versions so that it works with Flash Player 6 (PSP)? cause i wanna put those videos on my PSP. Go check them out its funny :D
Jun 16, 2010. 1:47 AMchibiwind says:
just use a converter and convert them into Mpeg and watch them as videos
Jul 19, 2009. 9:07 AMRock Soldier says:
The layout looks weird for the buttons...
Jul 17, 2009. 8:14 AMDJ Radio says:
yeah. I love the slide action, but not a fan of the rest.
Jul 18, 2009. 3:43 PMLetsExplodeSomething says:
it sounds cool in that description but looks like $h!*.
Feb 3, 2010. 9:27 AMshawntherobot says:
psp go is the best im buying it soon i need to save up 50 more dollars. The psp go has better graphics because it has the same number of pixels but a smaller screen. Also i wont be able to lose any of the games
Jun 16, 2010. 1:44 AMchibiwind says:
i don't lose my games anyway, how can i lose an iso file?
Feb 9, 2010. 8:26 PMDJ Radio says:
The PSP go's screen isn't smaller.  The design of it makes it look smaller, that's all.  And you have to buy the games you already had for the PSP over again if you want to play them on the go.  Get a 3000.

i got a 3000 i jus wish i knew that i could hack with a lower firmware i already upgraded the firmware and you can't downgrade it from 6.20 waiting for the hackers to catch up to 6.20.....
May 16, 2010. 6:00 PMArvindTheNinja says:
Go on www.psp-hacks.com  they just caught up with 6.20 through a save game exploit.
May 21, 2010. 11:23 AMshawntherobot says:
i found that out with the patapon demo just recently but i still don't know what to do once you get to the screen that says stuff like thanks to someone someone else and other people (not actual words).
May 17, 2010. 6:53 PMrhysc7 says:
regans for the psp go
Jul 19, 2009. 8:21 AMkrunal800 says:
1000.....its more durable.....the the home, select and start buttons are better than the 3000 in my opinion.....and its heavy......i dont know why but heavy just gives me a feeling that im holding something that wont break easily.
Aug 2, 2009. 5:07 PMfastlines49s says:
yes, i think its the best, and science it dosent break eaisly, if you hack it (like me) =) then it probbly wont break and when you ship it off to sony to get fixed you wont get caught, also i dropped mine from one of those tall barstools and the lcd shorted out but it diddent crack at all, my friend dropped his 2000 from the saim hieght and the schreen shattered into a million peaces, just glad i had memorized the buttons to press to un hack it, smile =)
Oct 18, 2009. 4:12 AMJoe Martin says:
I sent mine to Sony with CFW on it for repair, Yes I'm hardcore XD
May 4, 2010. 2:02 AMchibiwind says:
did you get it back? XD
Feb 27, 2010. 3:38 AMTurkuSama says:
OMG? Any respectable PSP owner has one just for CFW.

3000 is ultra fail. Don't get me started on the PSP Go...
Jan 12, 2010. 1:50 AMdava_2 says:
Huh, I have 1000 and it's OK for me..
Oct 27, 2009. 11:31 AMLowney says:
 White 3000 :P
Oct 17, 2009. 8:17 PMplane phanatic says:
PSP Go seems pretty good.
Oct 17, 2009. 6:35 PMyour dog says:

PSP go is the best
 

Aug 3, 2009. 10:04 AMScubaSteve says:
I like everything about the 3000, except that its difficult to hack. im looking for a 1000 just to run custom programs on.
Jul 19, 2009. 9:05 AMRock Soldier says:
I don't own any psp's, but basing my decision on looks, I'd have to choose the 3000.
Jul 17, 2009. 10:17 AMYerboogieman says:
1000, you can do more with it, and doesn't have any problems during or after modding.
Jul 8, 2009. 5:57 PMReCreate says:
Right now i'm on the 2000, Because it Wins with the fact that running homebrew on it is easy.
May 14, 2009. 1:44 PMcormac3050 says:
2000. Also, the last pic is a 2000, not a 3000.
Apr 19, 2009. 12:54 PMsamwhiteUK says:
PSP 1000!!! ok, so they have lower ram, but the IR makes up for that. No video out, but the durability factor makes up for that. No SKYPE, but they are the the ORIGINAL, and we all know that sequels don't ever come as good. as for the psp 3000, it is (currently) unhackable, but the microphone makes up for th... wait, no it doesn't. i think the psp 3000 is completely out of the question s-j-whitey
Apr 18, 2009. 9:40 PMTombini says:
2000 FTW, althought they arn't as strong as the Phat they have twice the ram (32-64) and they can bypass the security that the "unhackable" 3000 can't do.
Apr 8, 2009. 7:24 AMvenomireland says:
2000 is called Slim & Lite, 3000 is Brite. I have a Phat PSP.
Mar 26, 2009. 5:09 PMguyfrom7up says:
didn't even know there was a 3000 I still have my 1000 running some old custom firmware, too lazy to update and i rarely use it.
Mar 26, 2009. 1:31 PMDoctor What says:
I agree with lowercase. The phat is much more accessible to people who like roms and homebrew. If I didn't have my cfw on my psp, I wouldn't own it. 2000 is okay, because you can do some stuff with time machine, but I find it too light, and it feels fragile. The 3000 just sucks.
Mar 25, 2009. 7:48 AMxACIDITYx says:
I am personally all for the psp2000. Lighter, brighter, skype, video out, etc. No Infrared though, so no playing with televisions with iRshell. Some of the newer ones aren't hackable, though. I, however, was lucky enough not to buy a brand new one and was able to hack it. So I now have custom firmware red PSP2000. I think the psp2000 is the best thing Sony did, pspwise.
Mar 26, 2009. 6:06 AMxACIDITYx says:
Yeah, they are working on getting a hack with it.
Mar 25, 2009. 7:38 AMlowercase says:
phat or die! PRO: easier to install custom firmwares and more compatibility, lots of homebrew and has IR, i also like the texture on the back (not so smudge prone) CONS: No VIDEO out If you're into homebrew, this is the PSP for YOU! OMG! what a memorable sentence I've just made. lol
