It was nice that PSP had a "quick remove" battery. You could have a second battery pre-charged and ready to swap in once the first battery goes down.

@krazycharlie 9 ай бұрын

$200 PSP: Expensive but incredibly functional, even 18 years after release. $200 PS Portal: Expensive and can only do remote play. Quite a costly paperweight.

Nice condition but I think that crack and separation would cause me to exchange. Shouldn't have that for that kind of money, in my book anyways. I think in the USA we got a similar color but it was metallic. I still have mine and it came with a camera and InviZimals. My original PSP-300 I broke the screen on it replacing the UMD and had to fix that too. Happy I kept my PSPs as there are some great games that have not got the remaster treatment.

Also... I imagine that you mostly paid the amount you did for it based on color VS the amount of those that were made in that Blue. It is kinda a rare color.

The JP PSP 3000 blue one, I got mines off ebay. The one I bought off from another person was in mint condition (It was like rarely used) the seller took extreme care with there PSP I want to do the same. It did have a tiny tiny bit of yellowing which is fine its no big deal. I had to get another PSP because the old one I got the black one it's screen started to "peel away" or "separate" which revealed the lighting behind it which causes the visuals to get darker and darker. I overly used that PSP to death. I still have my original power cords and stuff so they still work like new.

It was the first handheld to get a lot of emulation support, it has every emulator you can imagine, it supports everything up to about the PS1 and N64 era, there is also DS emulation but that's the first one that starts to suffer from slowdowns. The only downside is the proprietary storage, good luck finding anything for it these days. This was one of Sony's downfalls, people got fed up with the storage especially when prices of SD cards where so much lower.

@LewKang1986 9 ай бұрын
