50 Facts about the PSP

After knocking Nintendo off their throne in the console market, Sony decided to throw their hat into the handheld console market, which up to that point Nintendo really didn’t have any competition and created one of the coolest systems that ever existed.
I am so excited for this video so I’ll get straight to the good stuff. From Hannah Montana to Hilton Hotels, here are 50 facts about the Playstation Portable.

I've had Ps1, Ps2, Ps3, Ps4, Ps5 throughout the years. But at 52yrs old I'm now having my first experience with PSP and PSVita, Playstation loyal consumer and very happy!

[@lesterbronson2385]

That’s awesome! Hope you’re enjoying both the PSP and Vita. The PSP has physical movies as well in case you didn’t know. For example, I recently picked up The Exorcist and Silence of the lambs!

[@VendettaAllan]

PSP was ahead of its time.

[@e.f.kotlinski1658]

The PSP was the first “console” I bought with my own money. Playing Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker was one of the best experiences I had in my life. I didn’t know it has a Yakuza game. Thank you.

[@syahizanmahadi8890]

If you want to play the first yakuza game with a proper english patch you need to wait until 15 August i think

[@ziqqerlad]

@@syahizanmahadi8890 planning to actually playing kurohyou anyway. thought they discontinued the first game's localization

I still own my big boss psp complete with box…the very limited swt

[@songoku9348]

Man I remember my dad buying me one back in 2005. Loved it and I vividly remember my days experimenting and hacking it.

[@clarathebandicute]

The PSP will always hold a special place in my heart as in 2012 I took my first flight from the UK to Canada to meet my now wife for the very first time. I got a second hand PSP from my boss at the time and spent the whole flight playing Burnout Legends and watching Die Hard 4 xD

[@InkWarrior]

I had a PSP 1000 in Iraq. Loved it. It's still in my old box, along with my games like God of War, Kingdom Hearts, and Jeanne D'arc.

[@redacted8846]

I bought my PSP because I was getting deployed to Iraq. Bought Crisis core and FF3 for it. Great little device to have on deployment.

[@luizguilhermeolivera3303]

The PSP was my first "big" purchase when I started working, here on Brazil they were quite expensive, not to mention the ds was even more expensive. Thank you soo much for this vid, reminded me the good times I had with my old psp ❤

[@e.f.kotlinski1658]

It was my first “console” bought with my own money and I’m from Brazil too 🙋🏼‍♂️

Wow man you take 🥩🚲 to a new level 🤡😼

[@Chainsaw1974]

The PSP was / is such a great machine. If you look at it today, you somehow don't see, that it celebrates its 20th birthday soon. I remember that I bought it, when I saw that it also plays homebrow (I used the first tif exploit that was released to launch a homebrew launcher, later "Fanjitas Boot loader" / later eloader that was very popular, and later some firmware downgraders.) But I never used it for pirated games, only for homebrew, and a second PSP for originals that I bought on UMD discs. I also still have this funny "Talk Man with microphone" or other great games like Ultimate Ghost n Goblins, Ridge Racer, Hot Pixel, Burnout Legends, also the Spiderman 2 movie and a lot more. Still prefer the PSP instead of the Vita, but the Vita was also great. Thanks for this 50 facts video about the PSP, bringing back so many memories.

[@thpass]

I was late to the PSP - buying mine in 2010 when they released the Big Boss camo bundle. Thanks to this video I can see the PSP-1000 camp version is considered more rare (66 rarity score vs. 55). There were hackers jailbreaking the PSP early on and the portable community today (Steamdeck to Ayo, retroid imports) owe a lot more to the PSP than to the DS (which never had good online implementation).

[@SnnowWolfe]

The PSP was a fantastic handheld that carries a lot of memories for myself and my brother.

[@karansingh1154]

This brings back old memories. Back then my close friend/neighbor had bought a psp & i bought a ps2. We made a schedule over who would own/use which device depending on the particular time.

[@splisken07]

Saved my money as well and bought one mainly to play Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops but definitely fell in love with that little handheld and got many more games for it down the line. Still have it to this day!

[@EsThirt33n]

The PSP1000 was the first new handheld I bought with my own money from working at part time at Burger King waaay back in the day. I bought Hot Shots Golf and Darkstalkers. I freaking loved it (and still do). I remember closing my room, turning off the lights, connecting the earphones it came with and just enjoying sessions of Darkstalkers. I still have it today, and have been meaning to upgrade to an IPS screen, but the soldering part of it is so tiny and difficult to make the screen work. The original screen ghosts really bad now. Anyways, love the video!

[@94frankiec]

Still have my PSP and all the games/movies. Haven’t played it in like a decade but I can’t part with it aha. Genuinely believe that if the PSP came back today with a similar design as the Switch (R-L2 buttons and proper joysticks) then it would absolutely dominate the gaming industry.

[@InkRibbon]

Never sell them!

[@phucletran2860]

@@InkRibbonyeah

[@phucletran2860]

Thats what the Vita had done, the Vita is basically the psp upgraded, second joy sticks, etc. shame Sony didnt properly marketing the thing and give it some love. I had both, Vita and PSP.

[@inutted4594]

I loved my PSP. I even had the PSP go back in the day. But my PSP died about a year ago and it's hard to find a really good condition replacement. I actually have about 35 40 games and I got about 15 UMD movies and I used it all the time.

[@scizorunleashed]

I loved my PSP, I had a wonderful docking station that turned it into an epic sound system. The modding community did so much to keep the console relevant, I remember some genius managed to make a passthrough that allowed you to connect your PSP to a PC and have the game displayed on the monitor in its own fully scalable window (this was long before PPSSPP became a thing) so it blew my mind. Its also the reason I bought a Vita, I'm pleased to say I still use both consoles!

[@aracelimariacasandramendoz154]

I loved my PSP, it lived for 10 years (this year died and it felt sad), it was a golden little piece of fun, even my brother played with it. I even played psx games, the last things I have played were Xenogears and Toukiden Kiwami (yeah, I prefer hidden gems) my favs by far.

[@Kakeen]

I love the PSP. I wonder if anyone has the prototype model. I remember seeing it at E3 the year it was announced, or I think I saw it but it was really the 1000 model. Either way it's a great little portable. Lumines was my game on it made me fall in love with the series.

[@raigekiman]

The Psp is my everything on the go, I remember after quitting my first job I bought the psp on my birthday and all my friends gave me games and the memory stick. every day I would take it with me to listen to music, watch movies and play games. Great times and still today I play it.

[@redacted8846]

Bought my PSP in 2008, and still have it. Got PE 1 and 2, Resident Evil 1 and 3, FF7 and FF8, Legend of Dragoon, and Xenogears downloaded on it.

[@ziqqerlad]

Ghost Rider, Need For Speed Underground Rivals, Gran Turismo, GTA Vice City Stories, Spiderman 3. PSP was my very first proper console. such a very nice console

[@Mystemo]

The PSP was such a great little system, very sad that the Vita only got a fraction of that love from developers.

[@calebhall7691]

I absolutely love my PSP, I've had it over a decade, I've had to replace the battery, that's it, I still play it... Tactics War of the Lions along with Dissidia and Crisis Core are my all time faves, but I also have a few playstation classics on it too, including the original 3 resident evil titles, and even Command and Conquer

[@MrEoin1986]

What a miss opportunity for resident evil outbreak file 1&2 to be on the psp. It would have been epic 😎

[@rustylasagna]

I used to play a lot of the multiplayer featured in Fireteam Bravo 2 and Fireteam Bravo 3. God, I miss those games.

[@kevinf7850]

I loved my PSP so much. Always liked how they never really dumbed down ps2 ports but just had weaker graphics. When I got the ds lite after I was shocked with how much weaker the system was.

[@alwynjaegar1778]

Having every psp game and movie would be wild, imagine the price of a complete collection.... Makes ya bank account shiver with fear

[@Zarpas]

ah the memories... I got it the 2nd day it was released here in Mexico, it only had the console, a game and nothing more, not even a memory stick, my game was Splinter cell essentials and for a very very loong time I wanted to hack it, I was never able to, then I had to sell it, but now I own 2 psp and both are hacked, they are soooo good.

[@ShadowLion3]

Dude been playing, hacking, repairing and all around just having fun with my different psps since 2007 thanks for your videos the tv feature is new for me 😅

[@nathangraves1069]

i can say that i bought like 3 years ago 2 used psp 1 purple and 1 white psp with some games when i realized later that the purple one was a Hanna Montana edition and the game was inserted still in the console, love psp, was the console that i played more than my DS (until i got my DSI XL).

[@abdelali9279]

The PSP was indeed the best portable media device not made by Apple, you can convert video to play on it but also was a great MP3 player showing that Sony knew still how to make a good music player, but also when in range of Wi-Fi you got access to WinAmp's internet radio, and I listened a heck lot to that, and it still works, mind you the PSP cannot connect to modern Wi-Fi routers

[@blood4lonewolf]

I love the use of DOA:Xtreme music for the background

can't imagine a phone nowadays can do all the PSP were capable of. watch movies, surf the web, live video chat, retro game emulators (including PSP games) , listening to music, GPS, taking pictures and videos, calling and texting and more....i love my tablet phone 📱

[@Lil_Ms_Crystal_Rose]

I had both the Nintendo DS and PSP. I kept my PSP at home, because I was afraid I'd lose it, but my DS I took everywhere with me. Some kids have a stuffed toy they can't leave the house without, I had my DS haha. When I started middle school, I decided I was responsible enough to take my PSP to school. A "friend" stole it from my backpack. I was devastated, because it not only had all of my music and save data on it, it also had my copy of Mortal Kombat Unchained, one of my fav games on the system

[@chrysm6842]

I still have a PSP... Great games on it : MGS Port.Ops, GTA Chinatown Wars, Ac!d 1+2...

[@morsecode980]

I recently got myself a 3000 because I used to have a GO but paid dust to it and eventually sold it off, only to regret it years later. Best decision of my life. Even today, the PSP works great for my lifestyle as a college student that’s living light and only in one place for a few months at a time. I just don’t have time for playing on a tv so this works as a great alternative. I can only imagine what this thing was like to own in its heyday. Edit: For those curious, my favorite games are: • Medal of Honor: Heroes • MGS Portable Ops (yes, I’m one of those few people that likes MPO more than PW lmao) • Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake • Modnation Racers • Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (other than graphics, way better than the PS3 version by a long shot) • Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines • SW Battlefront 2 • God of War: Ghost of Sparta

They couldn't take my launch copy of GTA: San Andreas! My favorite games to play were SOCOM Fire Team Bravo 1 & 2 for online, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and AC!D^2, GTA: LCS & VCS, Need for Speed Rivals for offline!

*As a psp myself, this is the most video of all.*

The most sold game, while an amazing product by itself, is also due to the fact an exploit was found using that very same game, to the point it stopped being sold in retailers for a while.

I still own my PSP 3000. Unfortunately the battery is more than just dead, even fully charged it last five minutes at best. I didn't own many games for it and regrettably sold some of them years ago but I had my fair share of fun with it. Games like Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Valkyrie Profile and both Corpse Party games released on the system are still among my favourites of their respective genre.

Not sure if the PSP 3000 used the same battery like the first PSP 1000. But if you search a bit, you still find new batteries for PSP. (Not originals from Sony, but from no name manufacturers, but better than a complete dead battery.) But I think you know this already, just wanted to mention it. Never give your PSP 3000 away :-)
