Funny story, I was selling my psp online and a family wanted to buy it. I met them, working class people... car smelt like beer and cigarettes, the psp was for the son and I had a few games included... They saw the grand theft auto game in the stack and said "this is too violent", after a 10 minute conversation I gave it to them for almost free, and passed the kid the GTA game without them seeing, hahaha the look on his face was absolutely priceless... Cheers Metal Jesus!!!!

My parents were very strict and never allowed me to have vidoe games. A guy at my church felt bad for me and gave me a psp for free. I still have it and collect games for it to this day.

[@plank8989]

@JINNN I think it was mostly because of good marketing and actual support for the system. Sony have always been retarded in that shit. They have this enormous ego that their products are like apple. It doesn't matter what they shit out, they have loyal customers to eat it up but in regards to gaming there isn't that much loyalty.

I LOVE my PSPs (i have 2). Fun to own and hack, even in 2018. Emulators run pretty well. Me and my friends had a blast playing multiplayer on granturismo and taking turns playing mario. There are also a crap ton of games that i still haven't tried. Plus PSPs cheap nowadays. If you have friends like me who used to have PSPs but dont use it anymore/broke it then just ask them for the memory stick so you can download more games. The game library is huge! Especially if you add games from the emulators. You can emulate tons of consoles like the Ps1, sega genesis, SNES, NES, atari, gameboy, gameboy advanced and others. You could just do that on your phone. But in my opinion it's waaayy better to play on a device with buttons than one with akward touch controls. Well that's what i think. Damn i just realized this is a bit of a long ass comment. Nobody is probably gonna see this but i dont care! The PSP is a great system!! Edit: Holy crap a few people actually saw this yay

[@The_Real_DCT]

From what I remember according to former Xbox team members, Microsoft was looking into getting into handhelds but for one reason or another they scrapped it.

[@smittyjohnson9554]

[@emeraldtf8982]

the thing about the UMD is that if the plastic covering the disk is piped in or out, the PSP can't play, a temporary fix is pushing the metal part of the disk lightly until the plastic is back in place, and a fix for memory sticks are placing a piece of toilet paper or a tissue oon the memory stick and insert it in

[@EcofoodKazakhstan]

Actually PSP Go is a collector's item, and an ultimate PS1 machine - it outputs real 240p through component (which looks amazing on CRT) and is compatible with Sixaxis wireless controller - in fact, it is the only model of PSP that supports external controller. It plays great on TV.

To me the 3000 is the essential PSP. It's the only PSP that lets you hook it up to a crt tv. I use this exclusively for all of my favorite ps1 games: Full screen, s video quality,..sweet! Also it literally is the Playstation portable: play all those ps1 classics anywhere. PSP is awesome.

[@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective]

3000 is the best all rounder easily but I wouldn't knock the Go or the Street because the Go is a console that really does fit into your pocket and comes with great storage and the Street is really comfortable and has a great dust/smudge proof screen.

I actually prefer the 1000 mainly because of its tank build quality. I know there is no TV output but it doesn't matter much to me.

I recently started to pick up some PSP games to build up a collection; many based on your recommendations such as Jeanne D'arc, Motorstorm: Arctic Edge, and Legend of Heroes: Trails of the sky. There are some that I'm just not interested in like Locoroco and Patapon, but your picks seem to coincide with those that almost consistently pop up in must play or greatest game lists online. You have an awesome collection and seem like a fun guy I'd love to meet in person. I am almost in my forties and I'm glad to know that there are others my age that enjoy the PSP as much as I do.

[@Shadowfied]

Some things that definitely need to be mentioned.. 1. Fuck Memory Stick Duo. Get a microSD adapter, that way you can use ANY microSD and boom. It's not even a proprietary format so you can use it for multiple things. There's even dual microSD converters so you can combine two. 2. The 3000 lets you use composite cables as well, not just component. 3. Homebrewing. Yes, most people are gonna install CFW to pirate games, however, I really feel that the PSP must be credited with it's amazing homebrew scene. It is THE best handheld emulation machine around pretty much. I got my first PSP last year so I'm super late to the PSP party, but it is pretty amazing. I had a Vita before PSP and I just can't grasp how they fucked up the Vita so bad. All they should had done was a PSP with a second analog stick and much beefier specs.

I think the only way you can really mess it up is if you disconnect it from power. It is pretty easy to do you just need to find the software or files to make a magic memory stick and buy a pandora battery or make one.If you make the memory stick you will need very basic coding experience.Making a pandora battery is harder. I would definitely try to just find someone on craigslist that will let you use theirs or buy it for 20 dollars.

[@johnandbrianversus5082]

Was Reggie in a hurry ? should of told him to take off his jacket and stay a while.

[@8bitDNA]

+John and Brian Versus haha I was wondering the same thing, but Reggie is always chill. It was probably cold out or he was trying to be fashionable lol

[@TheEmeraldMystic]

Seattle is cold this time of year.

[@NicktheLP]

+8bitDNA Or he just forgot to take it off lol

[@motombo87]

Excellent video. Just bought myself a PSP as always missed my original one. Grabbed the 2000 and its brilliant.

[@RodrinBird]

I still have my 12 year old PSP 1001 and it still works great! Great video also talking about the PSP and its capabilities too!

[@tensevo]

Daxter is fantastic

[@Wedeemgaming]

I bought daxter on a road trip from a GameStop we stopped at for $3 and got hooked. Beat it on that same road trip!

[@LastBastian]

Playing that right now. lol!

[@catoboyproductions7098]

I've beat that game so many times

[@NinjaxShadowXx]

PSP has great JRPGs. Final Fantasy 1-4 are on it (5-9 if you count the ps1 versions) Then you have Crisis Core and Kingdom Hearts Birth By sleep and Dissidia games. Then Breath of Fire 3, Tales of Eternia and the Ys series and lets not forget the Persona games 1-3 are on it.

[@BigVoodooGaming]

My favorite handheld system! I remember wanting one so bad!

[@ReverendLamar]

Haven't had a psp in a solid 10 years and someone just gifted me one for Christmas. I had mentioned wanting another one as well as collecting for the systems I grew up on now that I'm on my own so came back to this one

[@TorqueEffect]

Should have also talked about the ergonomics of the different PSPs, because lets face it, even through the PSP 1000 had the worst screen and had slower UMD loading because of having half the RAM of the others, it felt the best in your hands because it was thicker and had better hand grips that weren't glossy, and just overall had the best build quality. The 2000-3000 were thinner and didn't have the bulging hand holds on the back, and only certain colors gave you the matte finish on the back (Like the Silver 2000 model), and the Black Glossy PSP 2000 & 3000s just looked nasty with fingerprints. While the PSP Go's ergonomics are abysmal, just think of an old slideout keyboard from a cellphone, BUT you forgot to mention the PSP Go had a dock that let you hook it up to the TV, and while using the dock you could sync PS3 controllers to the go, basically making it the precursor to the PSTV.

[@wistful3631]

TorqueEmUp oh I still have one of those slide out phones. I mean they work but they are so uncomfortable to use

[@davidantonio8798]

They didn't forget to mention it, they just didn't know. They didn't even own a GO

[@greenkidd529]

@@davidantonio8798 which is ironic because the Dock for the PSpgo has become one of the centerpieces for PSP collecting, its one of the more rare and expensive than the system itself and most of its game sealed

[@johnsimmonds4810]

Cool! I still have Silent Hill Shattered Memories for PS2.

[@AllTheRageShow]

Reggie, your jacket is awesome. And great video, fellas!

[@TheOnionYo]

Your channel has grown! Keep up the good work :P

[@nanashinanashi1174]

I've got my psp 2000 modded, love backing up my games and movies to the card and playing it all on the big screen

[@arfuiri1797]

That sounds great

[@DJLuckeyLu]

I really liked Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters and Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles back then! I still play Castlevania from time to time. Also, Persona 3 Portable was good, too!

[@niapolong]

in lockdown i've been re-playing psp games and I come back here for psp games recommendation.

[@trzarector]

You just blew out my pockets!!!! I'm now a PSP nut!

[@crim8649]

How could you mention Portable Ops but not Peace Walker smh

[@alabrecque3]

and crisis core!

[@crim8649]

Labrecteck Yeah that's another great one

[@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective]

To be fair Metal Gear Acid is okay whereas Metal Gear Acid 2 is actually a really decent game.

[@crisp9929]

Adam The Gamer Nobody was even talking about Acid.

[@markasscop]

portable ops is still a psp exclusive,whereas peace walker got console ports

[@calebwayne9]

I've had my same psp 3000 since around 2009 and I still use it A lot it's A lot of fun for emulating games it's perfect!

[@THETIESKY]

Currently replaying Legends of Dragoon on my psp 3000 in 2020. Love that game still have my CDs from PS1 era.

[@DJICEMAN_73]

i LOVE my psp gos (i have 2) these things are a hackers dream. i have all my emulators on them

[@Trifton]

Me too!

[@FennecTECH]

ive got a white go that i bought for 50$

[@SZF123456]

Just got mine, fucking PERFECT these days especially since you can play so much on it now with custom firmware. I can see why people in the past shat on it, but man it really was ahead of it's time.

[@supersurge2863]

SZF123456 I got a Xperia play......the Xperience was horrible and sadly not what I expected, really dissapointed. Part of it was due to the fact that it had a custom firmware and that psxe ( ps one emulator ) runs like crap despite me watching reviews in which it runs like butter. The only thing worth playing is snes and Gba < :)....but the headphone jack is broken. . . . bought off Amazon for $50. I regret my desicion but regardless I still achieved my goal of figuring how well it fit in the hand. this is long.

[@realtalk6162]

BROOKLYNDJICEMAN can u pleaseeee explain to me what to download for like neo geo and snes?...I am terrible with computers and tried to download files and messed up.

[@myksanchez1222]

Great video. I bought a PSP 1000 and 3000 just to play Gradius Collection. Trying to buy a PSP is tricky these days, as most of them are beat up, 'modded, partially defective or all three. My two units aren't perfect so I'm still looking for a solid, 100% functioning unit. Keep up the good work Metal Jesus!

[@ri-pixelated872]

myk sanchez wow really? I guess I got lucky with my 3000

[@egdirkcol]

Ah, I traded my mint condition 3ds with lots of excursive games for a psp e1000 with a 4gb memory stick with a psp case and 4 games, daxter, resistance retribution, Disney Ratatouille and Jak n Dak.

[@ImAussieMate]

You can revert a modded psp. I got a 2000 version that was moded but I couldn’t play my legit games. So I managed to revert it.

[@polyphonydigital]

@@ri-pixelated872 I also was lucky with a 3000, then. Only some visual things, but mechanically its 100% fine

[@BrD4GOD]

I LOVE this video. The only criticism and problem that I've found in this video, which is amazing again lol just want to mention that I highly appreciate your content, is the issue of region benefits and pitfalls. Its been a task to find out more about this topic. There's actually a 1000 model and a 1001 model. Probably more but those are the US and Japan models. The digital storefront I believe is different as well and I think you can't watch movies in different regions. Its confusing and not really mentioned anywhere online. UMD also drained battery life more than the Vita because of the physical disc drive. But this video is so cool to watch and go back in time.

[@cam9144]

This is the best episode. Reggie is so comfortable speaking to the camera by this time.

[@QJSquall]

"Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions" is amazing to play on the system.

[@thiagobujnowski5651]

Some Attacks animations are really Slow. Don't know why. Gafgarion signature attack looks slow motion on the PSP. It was way faster on the PS1. First I thought it was my PSP processing power that was lacking but then I got the VITA e it has the Same problem. Attack Animations kinda a Lag.

[@greenkidd529]

I liked jeanne darc a little more, but yes its fantastuic and the best verison of tactics

[@correzzana1992]

The GameBoy Color (I basically grew up with GBs) with the PSP are my favorite portable consoles of all time. And imo the best ever made in general. Shame portable consoles market doesn't exist anymore (apart nintendo alone), now just smart "phones" and tablets that almost any good developer takes seriously in consideration, like back in the days. Those were awesome years to be a kid! (born 1992)

[@CutdarthvaderWOT]

Just bought one thanks for the video but I have the PAL version with no WI-FI and it works great with nice headphones!!!!! It is indeed stereo!!! Great machine have a Vita also due to you Metal and can't play that as waiting for a mem card! Love your channel great vids and has helped a 42 year old man with children re-discover his youth!!! Also got a PS3 coming with a bunch of games also soon!!! Love all these consoles I had as a kid and young adult!! I also have a 360, ps4 and wii u and switch and mini classic snes and 2DS! Slowly building the collection! Thank you for showing me how good these games still are and some that I hadn't seen or heard of!!!

[@dantheman2880]

Ive owned pretty much every console and have an xbox one at the moment soon ill get the series x but i had the best memories on the psp. I recently got the emulator on my phone and downloaded all my favorite games from back then. I haven't had this much fun gaming in a very long time

[@SuperiorBryce98]

This has a better library than the vita tbh

[@gangatalishis]

SuperiorBryce98 yup unfortunately 😕

[@natedog101591]

SuperiorBryce98 agreed. love the vita and I call BS on the "No games" argument ppl make. but PSP still had the better library between the two. same way the DS has a better library than the 3ds

[@pkmn_trainer_chito1502]

No

[@Asaylum117]

Mostly, because allot of Vita games were just PS3 games, only hand held. :/

[@patrick-mj4fc]

Exactly, that's what I've been trying to say.
