The PSP Street… what a weird console. I don’t like it so much! And I paid $200 for it 🤷 Let me know what you think about this PSP console.

a lot of people, especially in the gaming space seem to think that North America, Europe and Asia are the only places on the planet (and that Europe is a small place when it's one of the most populous places in the world), especially obvious when people just say "Europe" instead of PAL, or "European units" instead of Metric/Celsius "European dates" instead of standard or international dates, all of these things are used by pretty much the entire world aside from North America or even JUST the US. People in KZfaq comments (almost certainly Ameircans) will also go "eww bri ish" or something like that when you do something thats a standard in every dialect other than specifically US English, like spell it "colour" or "realise", like even Canada uses those spellings.

the PSP Street is pretty solid just as a low-cost, low-risk gaming device similar to the 2DS. I'm in Australlia and my friend had one back in the day just for playing games on the schoolbus, only issue with it was no Ad-Hoc multiplayer so me and my other friends who had PSPs could play stuff like LittleBigPlanet, ModNation Racers and WipEout together on the bus or at recess and poor 'ol Ben who got a PSP Street had to play solo, didn't seem to mind too much though.

I asked my mom nicely, we went to the store and all they had was that, the PSP E1000. It was 99€, Lego Harry Potter bundle. I loved it and was Incredibly thankful to my mom, but I always wished I got the 3000... I mean I could sell mine and buy a 3000, I still have the original box and everything but I can't, I have too many memories with it.

I have a custom one, got it for basically nothing, i had a broken black one, and i bought a white one for 15 euros, it was broken as well, so i made a white and black version, every button is black, even the bar underneath the screen is black on my psp, and i have to say, it looks amazing! Yes the back is a bit finicky, but, if you know how to take it off it is actually easier to get acces to the disk drive, that squeeky noise is because the motor slips on a gear that gets sticky because of the lubricant sony used (very cheap and horrible stuff), clean that out of there, and it works like new! I've put in a battery from a ps 4 controller which is 50mah more than the stock battery, gives me great batterylife.

Not sure about this version, but my PSP 3000 started squeaking and I think it's just an age thing. I had to open the UMD cover and take off a plastic sticker covering the UMD drive motor near the bottom around the hinge. Once the sticker was off, I could take a q-tip with multi purpose oil and rub it into that motor area. There was a video on KZfaq that helped me figure it out. Not sure if that would work on this model though.

Yes the PSP is region coded; the one you have there is a region 5 edition (according to what I noticed it says on the box). Not sure if the games you have there are region 5 or not. (Because it is modded, however, it may be that the region code is irrelevant; as this is something that can be done when using a modded/jailbroken device I believe). (Correction - as someone else has said the region code is for movie discs, the games are region free. A mod/jailbreak still would allow this to be no problem. An Action Replay would also allow multi region either way).

I wish Sony made the PSP street more premium. I like the matte finish it has, but not having internet and being cheaper in build are setbacks, not a fan of the buttons, too. If I could build my own dream PSP, it'll probably be the matte finish from Street, the screen from the 3000 (though I heard the Go has a better screen but idk) and give it proper buttons at the bottom, I'd even keep the back piece of the street, but I'll keep the auto opening from the 1000 series, a feature I wish they never removed from later models and obviously make the battery easier to remove.
