Got my psp in 2008. Had it for few years. Survived my 3 boys who all had it in their possession at different times, they all in their 20’s now and I got it back and still enjoy it from time to time. One of my p4p all time fav purchases.

Consider this though: the psp is also an amazing way to play the PS1 library, something that's full of gems especially on the JRPG end of things. One of the biggest reasons I invested in a Psp Go, it's like a little ps1 for my pocket. Then being able to display it on a TV with the AV cables and connect a ps3 controller and headphones via bluetooth, it's also like a nintendo switch several years before that was even a thing. The thing is wildly impressive for what it's capable of considering when it released.

Last month I bought a PSP1000. I had once a PSP in the past... I think its still good to play and having some emulator like miyoo or anbernic. It would be nice if somebody do more hardware mods for PSP.

Most people in this comments section seem to like to default to the typical "just get a Vita" type of answer but I don't always agree with that. There are a lot of ways this question could be answered, it just depends on what you are looking for out of your PSP experience and since the Vita is pretty expensive with little to no chance of it coming down in price EVER, that is not always going to be the one-size-fits-all answer. Yes, the Vita is an excellent handheld that will play PSP games near flawlessly, but there are things the PSP can do that the Vita cannot that may justify the PSP over the Vita for various reasons. For one, the Vita cannot be played on a TV in your home unless you use the insanely over-priced PSTV console, but that thing has its own shortcomings to contend with as well as being a completely separate device from your normal Vita. The only other ways to play PSP on your TV is with a 2000, 3000 and Go model PSP. Playing PSP on the TV with an actual compatible PSP is also easier than using a PSTV as all you need is a good component cable and a decent external scaler which is all plug and play. The PSTV needs to be softmodded before even thinking about playing PSP games which is more complicated. Physical collectors will find that their only option to play PSP games legitimately is through an actual PSP console minus the Go via officially released UMD discs. This is admittedly a niche scenario as not everyone will want to use real UMD's and often prefer to play PSP games digitally, but there are people (such as myself) who do choose to play their games from real UMD's so it is a legitimate scenario to take into account. UMD's certainly have downsides to them such as being slower to load, but we collectors like the authenticity of the process as well as knowing we actually own our games so we put up with the cons of UMD technology. Finally, there's the question of cost. In the US, PSP's can be had as low as $50 for a decent 1000 model with later models going for a bit more but usually not exceeding $80 unless it's in pristine condition or a special edition model. The Go is the most expensive option by far, usually going for $100+, but what do you expect for something that sold that poorly? The Vita regularly goes for double or even triple those prices, and the PSTV often goes for more while also being a technically worse piece of hardware without softmods. If you want to play Vita games then of course you'll have to get a Vita, but at that point you already know you're going to pay a premium for that machine.

this is just to the part of the ps vita playing on a TV, you can play the ps vita on a tv and can connect a PS4 control to the vita as well, but you have to basically have to use a video recorder in order to do so but even then, it just does not look good tho and I wouldn't recommend it. Also, the vita allows you to add a filter to psp games giving them a sharper image that does make a difference when playing the games and you can also remap buttons to the right thumb stick. I say you should get a psp if your collector who also likes modding and customizing retro handhelds not to mention the ps vita can do way more then the psp could ever once modded as it can run the actual psp software to play psp and ps1 games

Im honestly considering selling my PSP2K. I bought it from a japanese seller on ebay for 87$ (tax, vat, shipping, etc included) and Ive definitely enjoyed it but i honestly prefered the PSV from the beginning and now Im finally in a position to buy a PSV. So selling the PSP will definitely fund the PSV or just other projects in my life now that the prices have countinued to go up.

The psp was amazing, but it's not needed anymore. Buy a ps vita. Is a lot better and with adrenaline is 100% retrocompatoble. Also... extremely easy to emulate. I just got a ayn odin 2 and I've been running ganes in 1080. It can do 10 times if I wanted it, but 1080 is perfect.

If you can find a psp 3000 monster hunter edition then yes. It has the body of the psp 1000, the ability to use the beefier batteries of the 1000 and the benefits of the 3000. It's totally worth it. Also, to those saying it's not worth it, back in the day, people believed in easily replacing batteries. You gotta remove a bunch of screws and pry the ps vita in half just to get to the battery once it dies out on you. Psp? Open the back lid, put new battery in, close lid. No worries about pulling too hard and accidentally ripping something off, like a ribbon cable or something else. We need to go back to that for handheld consoles and cell phones.
