A question regarding PSPs

Well, I had plans on getting one.
I just wanna ask.

What to look at/consider when buying a PSP?
What advantages does the v.3000 has over the older versions v.2000 and v.1000?

psp 1000 you can downgrade to the oldest firmware
the rest you can't with out facing problems.
2000 and 3000 can connect to the TV and is slimmer.
3000 has a better screen.

i have psp 1000 and it works fine, so far its not a hunk of junk. actually mines still working after taking somewhat a beating. you just had bad luck with psp 1000. XD

2000 and 3000 are both good models, i got the European version called e-1000, a budget model only sold there.


any of the choice above is "crackable" with a "custom firmware" very easily, but note that only 1000 and 2000 models can support "permanent CF"

but it's no biggie, get a 3000 and enjoy the better screen available for psp,
it will play all your ISO anyway :)

edit: note that with a CF you can tune up your CPU speed from 200mhz (downcloked-default) to 333mhz (faster)
so don't mind what hikari said XD

interesting never done that, plus didn't know. now that you think about it can you overclock any other console hmmm


also games after 3.5 firmware auto clocks it up anyways or some do (god of war chain of olympics is an example), you will only want to do that for games under 3.5 firmware or that doesn't take advantage of it

suggest buying PSP 2000,cuz i'm using it and it is better than 3000

I got a 1000 with cfw 5.00 m33 and still works fine. only downsite for 1000 is that it only has 32 mb ram. 2000 & 3000 have 64 mb ram.

I upgraded to ps vita anyay xD

vita can't play ISO very well...it's not CF for vita games anyway, but as soon as it is, ill buy vita

@hik
didnt know for the 3000...O__O

hmmmm. So the best in market is 2000 series. I plan on buying one soon.

cmon!!

3000 is just as good, dont cry if you cant find the 2000...3000 WORKS JUST FINE!

So anything but 1000 then XD

actually anything will do as long as you can play games on it and it can serve it purpose good. 1000, 2000, or 3000, doesn't matter. all depends on if your tight with money and what you can find the cheapest.

also my psp took a beating and still works (i dropped it on concrete once and it still worked afterwards).

thanks for all the help guys,
At least I had my sights to those two (2000 and 3000)
I had to ask cause the price difference between the versions are pretty high here.
I have plans on playing Dissidia and GVGNP btw.

Question, are you going to put CFW on it? Or keep it using OFW? (OFW is Official Firmware)

uhh, whats the difference between the two?
I'm really new to this words xD

CFW = custom firmware

allows you to do more with the psp basically in simple terms and download iso. but remember to get a big enough memory stick if you do.

:3 megusta

i have a 32gb mem sitck ( a duo micro sdhc holder) but i recommend at least 8gb to be "confortable"...

the custom firmaware you must install in order to play "downloaded games" from the internet...that or pay for every single game you want, in the end it will cost more than the psp itself...

lol
