Just ordered my PSP 1000 and MAN does it feel so good to have one again just like the good old days 😭😭 gotta fix my update to 6.61 but other than that, feels good to have one again for the memories ❤️
I recommend to the purist and the collectors the model 3000 or the PSP Go, easier to mod and easier to dock (the go model at least). For the rest who just want to play the games but dont posses the console/you want to make them look better/you dont have money, just stick with PPSSPP.
1000 with IPS mod is good but the ram makes some games sluggish. 2000 is solid but suffers from ghosting. 3000 is great but the scan lines do suck. PSP Go is small, with the new memory stick ribbon, storage is no longer an issue.
I have psp go and it has a really good screen color and brightness, it is the most portable of them, for me it's my favorite. The only disadvantage is that its screen is a little smaller than the others.
I would have gone with the 3000 but I have a 1000 that works perfectly fine and is in mint condition other than one scratch so I see no reason to upgrade
You know what I believe you’re right, back when I was a kid I had the psp 2000 for my birthday and I broke that one, and then I got another psp and it happened to be the 1000. Now at the time I had no idea that there different modes but for some reason the fatness of the 1000 makes it have a better grip when gaming.
This 100% Although the Go can be uncomfortable to hold for people with bigger hands and some games controls for me don't work so well on the Go, Like Locoroco or any games that really use the L and R often. Large hand problems
That one didn't come out here in the states and also mono sound instead of stereo? No thanks. The removal of wi-fi doesn't really matter anymore but the mono sound is a huge detractor for me
Everyone is talking about the ips mod bro im telling you it's only brighten the lcd, but the quality is the same. I think the 3000 is the best choice. The 1000 feels heavier, but 3000 is my favorite overall and the ps vita for sure. If someone have more money just buy the vita oled version, it's amazing.
I had the 1000. My cousin had the 3000 I was always jealous of how much faster it was. That being said I always thought the Go was the sleekest out of all of them. If I had to pick now it would be the Go
@@retrouniverse6089 yeah that's fair. I got big mitts too so maybe the Go isn't the best option for me. The 1000 is the easiest to mod from what I've heard so maybe I'll look into getting one
@@retrouniverse6089 idk there are a couple sites that are saying the 1000 is the best to run homebrew and whatnot. Can't find a reason why tho. I probably have my 1000 still so hopefully I can find it and restore it if needed
1000 series. Simply because they are the cheapest. I ain’t spending $200+ on a refurbished 2000 or 3000. Anyone have suggestions on the best options to buy retro games? I want a gameboy color but these prices are just ridiculous 😂
ebay auctions will be your best bet but try and find one around 40 or so dollars. even if the shell is beat up you can always get a new shell replacement and screen.
It's unfortunate to receive items in this shape sometimes. Please don't take it as me damaging these items. I get most of my stuff from flea markets or cheap ebay sales. I promise you I take care of my stuff
dude you're breaking my brain throwing them around like baby toys. i take so much care of my 3000 i treat it like a baby, i charged the battery and removed it so it wouldn't drain itself as it's unhealthy for it. i also have a vita which i treat like a spoiled child and love it mostly, i use it the most
I've gotten some grief for that lol. It's just my mic it is overly sensitive. Any sound I make sounds so enhanced. I promise I do not throw them around. Just a mic issue picking up every bit of sound and making it sound really loud.
I Recommended PSP 2000 and 3000 are the best.The PSP 1000 is alright but the d-pad sucks and can't play fighting games well like Street fighter or Tekken. Try spamming a hadouken on the PSP 1000 d-pad, You will know what's wrong with it and why the d-pad sucks on the PSP 1000. PSP go also sucks because the memory stick is different and is hella expensive. Good luck buying expensive PSP Go memory stick M2 for 16GB at $100 or $130 dollars online from scalpers.
Honestly you shouldn't get any of them at this point considering how easy it is to emulate PSP on a PC or an android phone. And that's on a much better screen and higher resolution as well. I don't see a point in getting pretty much any older console handheld or not.
You’d be surprised how many people prefer playing on original hardware when it comes to old games. There is a reason there is such a market for it still.
Only because I don't have one as those were not released in the states. Also getting a hold of one now is too much as they go for about the same as a PSP Go
@@EVOLLOVEx honestly I’ve mentioned it in other comments. It’s my mic it’s overly sensitive. Any noise is registered much louder so I blame that for picking up those sounds. I can promise you i take care of my stuff :) if anything looks scratched or damaged it’s because most of the stuff I buy is second hand for cheap either at a flea market or cheap eBay auctions
3000 for sure, easier to mod as well. The pspGo is also the most portable and good looking but to add more memory you do need to open it up.
1000 model is actually easier to mod because most mods were designed to run faster on the dedicated ram it has

3000 is the best
One of the better choices yes!
Screen is dog water but sure
@@TamagoSarada_ No its upgraded 💀 wdym
@A_TACS I think because of the scan lines. A lot of people didn’t like that change to the screen
@@TamagoSarada_never had ANY issues with scan lines, just never. I had been actively playing it for over 7 years.
I picked the 3000, it has the best screen of all the UMD models.
1000 can be equipped with a better screen
I've heard multiple times that the 2000 is one of the best if not the best.
Forgot to mention the mic added on the 3000 😅
Oh yeah! That’s right! What a crazy system haha
among all these years,i would still get the 1000 series
Why
I have a psp 1000
I loved my psp go so much, I would add a bunch of games and take it with me everywhere before I had a phone.
PSP 2000 is v good 👍
original PSP-1000
Just ordered my PSP 1000 and MAN does it feel so good to have one again just like the good old days 😭😭 gotta fix my update to 6.61 but other than that, feels good to have one again for the memories ❤️
Oh nice!!!! Welcome back to the PSP world!
@@retrouniverse6089 all thanks to my coworker at my job who convinced me to get one after I seen him with his 3000!
I like the 1000 model the most because it is more comfortable in my hands
PSP 2000
Psp 1000 has a new ips mod for $30. Screens better than the 3000. If you go through the headache of updating to 6.61 the psp 1000 is the better choice
Psp street
I dig it man. I have a black 1000, white Darth vader 2000, 3 psp go’s (2 white mints and 1 black), and 2 Vitas (1 black oled & 1 white oled).
Psp go
I say the 2000 because if you want a home console to go then the 2000 or the 3000 cause you can plug it in to a nearby tv
1000.
I have the 3000 but it’s old now.
Forgot the street
I recommend to the purist and the collectors the model 3000 or the PSP Go, easier to mod and easier to dock (the go model at least).
For the rest who just want to play the games but dont posses the console/you want to make them look better/you dont have money, just stick with PPSSPP.

i got the 2000 in black today
I had the first 3 models 💜
I have a PSP 2000 for my emulation. Been thinking bout tracking down the 1000 since it’s been years since I’ve even held one of those
I have psp go and it has a really good screen color and brightness, it is the most portable of them, for me it's my favorite. The only disadvantage is that its screen is a little smaller than the others.
Which PSP model should you get? The correct answer is ALL of them.
Exactly!
Psp1000 and psp go
2000 miss the Vader one
I sold my original Vader one years ago and regretted it dearly. Thankfully I found another one
bro psp is soooooo good I'm still enjoying this platform to this day .. I don't have psp but I do play everything on my modded vita
Soooo many games came out for it so there are a lot of options to play
@retrouniverse6089 don't forget about the homebrew ports etc Man. vita literally my favorite handheld of all time Nice portable to travel with !
None of the above. PS Vita all the way. La Vita e Bella.
i think... the vita, methinks
Had a PSP 3000 in the past (I want too buy one someday)😊
It’s never too late to get one! Check eBay but don’t pay over $80 for one.
forgot the Street, i´ve got the Street and 3004
Street didn't come out in the states and I don't have one also it cut back so much from the others
I love my modded go
I must go with a jailbroken Vita, plays PSP games just fine
The street model, looks the most classy
It's a nice design for sure!
3000 because I'm mainly using it to play SMT Persona 1, 2 tsumi, and 2 batsu, with the disks
Respect for collecting the OG PSP remakes. You playing Batsu in Japanese?
I grew up with the PSP-1000 Model and still have it but I really want the PSP-3000 Model
Make sure not to spend more than 80 bucks on one though! Some people are selling them for way too much money. Hope you end up with one though!
*Street has left the chat.*
Street didn’t come out in the states and $100 to buy one I’m good
honestly for me I like the 1000
Same. It feels very comfortable to hold. Despite the screen it is still my favorite to use.
Vita
3000 overall has better audio and video. Simply overall better experience. Buuut the psp 1000 has that OG psp esthetic. You can’t beat that.
Psvita is the best
I would have gone with the 3000 but I have a 1000 that works perfectly fine and is in mint condition other than one scratch so I see no reason to upgrade
The 1000 is an excellent choice and my favorite of the bunch
I like the PSP 1000, it's the most comfortable of all the others.
Agreed!

3k best screen, 1k best design and feel, you could literally just get a 2k for the in between or get a go if you dont care for umds.

Psp go❤❤
I really like PSP Go. but tis don’t have that UMD which is very hard to play because The PlayStation store this is close. So how do you fix that?
Only thing you can do is mod the psp so that it can play .iso files of psp games.
I used to own the 1k model, now own a 3k model and it's much more better
3000 for sure
Why you smashing them in the table bro
PSP street got left out.
Didn’t come out in the US so I never had one
The 2000 is the best
Get the 1000, mod it and fit it with an IPS screen!
Bro the psp go looks like it definitely has the best screen of them all... at least on the video it does
PSP Go has the highest pixel density so it's more clear, but people seem to prefer the colors on the 3000
What about PSP street
PSP Street wasn't released in the USA so I didn't have one and unfortunately they are too expensive now and days to grab one.
When I tried to put my battery case back on my 200 I chipped a piece of the back and now my disk has a hard time closing
