First! Oh, you probably weren't expecting this video to pop up today. I said Sunday, but I got lucky and the first audio mix was decent once uploaded, so I just decided to go ahead and publish it. Let me know what you think! I'll see you in the next BIG video, a documentary/retrospective about Gunpei Yokoi, and the Nintendo GameBoy!
I have a Vita but I miss my PSP so bad. I used to have hundreds of games, but they got lost and sold as time went on. It was a magical time for me, for sure. The memories I have of staying up and playing so many titles... I totally miss it.
Great video man. Fellow PSP fan here. I don't have any where close to your collection but you put some effort into this video and I appreciate that! Nice work!
Fantastic job on this! Kinda shocked that you seem to have more PSP systems than games themselves! Still, thoroughly enjoyed watching. Love the production values- particularly the way you present the games on your little spinning display + stand. Might need to steal these ideas!
Thanks! I try to do a bunch of cool edits on bigger videos, and then try not to do too much on smaller or less focused videos in between. I hope you can find some other stuff to enjoy! Thanks for the kind comment and support!
Dude, great video, just subscribed. When the Klonoa track kicked in, it unlocked the same feeling I had when I played it in 2002 or something. Kinda random, but thanks
hey man, i just stumbled upon your video trying to find games to pick up and i must say, you've convinced me to pick up games i've been holding off on for so long like metal gear series on psp and yggdra union your editing's also perfect for showcasing the games with the voice recording on top of it to let the viewers know your thoughts(and your voice is just right when it comes to this, not distracting and blends in with the video) you're very underrated
Cool stuff! Never knew someone could be as passionate about these awesome handhelds as me. I saw that Vita in the corner as well, I'd love to see some video on that system and ur opinions, and I really enjoyed the way you put together this vid.
Frothing at the mouth in envy. I am a semi-collector: don't keep the stuff I have in ABSOLUTE mint condition; I use it (whilst taking care of it, of course), but I love having it and displaying it. I love what you have. Really sucks I broke my PSP trying to repair it just the other day, this week
I picked up a 1001 and 3001 piano black and couldn't be happier. Physical games/movies are surprisingly inexpensive, so the PSP is an excellent entry point for gamers that want to start thier own retro collection. I would recommend modifying the software and make digital backups of all your UMD disks as the lone weak point of the system were the delicate UMD drive and disks that can break easily.
25:30 NFS CARBON is one of the best NFS for PSP yes theres some issues glitching the road suddenly went all black and i noticed that its the issues with hardware with the PSP, i tried it with the latest 3001 series japanese version and its loading smooth and no issues at all,BTW that GREEN PSP is stunning like menthol vibe. 😏
Hmm, tbh I traded my green one with my friend but never had a chance to buy another non Japanese model. I probably would just buy them and swap the motherboards😅
Just pulled out my old PSP today and debating on modding it. Already modded my Vita so not sure if I want to bother with my PSP though once it's modded I could dump my games which would be cool then I could play them on my Vita. Is there a reason to play PSP itself over Vita?
@@Raphtor13 Great question. The answer is yes! The games will look better with their natural resolution on the PSP, and no lag. Vita PSP Emulation using Adrenaline introduces very noticeable lag to me.
How do you deal with battery life? I still have my psp and i bought some third party bootleg batteries and theyre horrible, they die after 1-2 hrs of use. I watched some 4000mah mod youtube tutorials but im little hesitant doing it on my own. Do you mod the battery of yours?
No, just know the right brands to look out for. Still, there are duds and even fakes of fakes of brands that are decent. Lately people really like Ostent. I've never been disappointed by Cameron Sino, and they even have extended battery packs that come with the back cover for the PSP
are the third party button good i heard that they are kinda shitty and people do some weird shit to fix it and made it feel better . and that pink faceplate is amazing i thinked of buying it but never seen people on yt or reddit used it so i was very glad to see it but hearing about how people said that all third party shell is trash made me anxious to bought it though i love pink coz it's my favorite color...
@@qayyim3299 on my experience no. Best to use origins buttons or at least the pads as much as possible. You can do workarounds but they're a waste of time imo.
Well, that really depends on what you want to get out of it. As an on the go, cheap emulation device? Absolutely. It will do what most of the emulator market does today at usually half the cost. On the other hand, if you like collecting video games physically, it's not a terribly expensive system to start a collection for! I can't say it's a bad idea in any situation, the console can be found relatively cheap online and it has tons of capabilities!
It's kinda funny that you knock Twisted Metal for trying "to be too edgy," and then you say your favourite band is My Chemical Romance - who is way worse for that lol
@@Jonnicom I have listened to them. I don't mind some of their songs. But just in those short clips where you were showing their documentary you can see them trying to be edgy - the way they dress, all the blood on their pictures and logos, and the circle of guns around that sign (or whatever it was). I'm not a Twisted Metal fan by any means, I was just amused by what you said. I did really like your video though. Where do you buy most of your PSP's?
@@ericrenaud1733I'd suggest actually watching or researching the doc or the band before just assuming they're trying to be edgy. Seriously, I suggest checking them out in depth! Rock music, as long as it's been popular, has been associated with it's imagery. A band has a sound, attitude, and look to match if they're successful. Everyone in that band is a talent and not at all trying to be edgy - but it's too much to simply type up an explanation. This is gonna be a book anyway, but to keep it shorter, they may truly be one of the last great "big rock bands" we'll see for a good while. I''m guessing your comment came from associating them with the "emo" label, which I always found funny because no other bands who got that label ever sounded like them. It's easy to look at their imagery and hear a few singles and think that they are the pinnacle of the genre simply because they were popular. But in reality, they sounded nothing like any other emo acts. If anything, they sounded like 80s and 90s punk bands early on and even 80s metal on their second album. 3rd Album was an amazing tribute to all sorts of classic rock from ELO to Queen to Aerosmith. They were simply an amazing rock band who was having fun the whole time. And who pushed a message that being messed up is okay because they themselves had mental health struggles too! Despite that, they channeled all of that energy into music trying to help people. And that's what was important to me. They got labeled as depressing and edgy. In reality they were and still are one of the most fun bands to watch and listen to if you decided to put in the effort. I'd suggest starting with Danger Days and working your way back to understand if you take the time. Heck, watch some of their reunion shows - they're having the time of their lives. I'm not a Twisted Metal fan either... as I said in the video. A lot of these games are things I'm not into and just kinda got in lots while hunting the games I really wanted! So I try to be honest about if I've tried something or not. I don't want to give my opinions on a game if I feel I haven't given it enough time to understand it. Just give my surface opinion and make it obvious... so I'm obviously not an authority on it lol. The PSPs I get anywhere, but if you want a good one I'd suggest trying to buy on eBay from well feedback'd Japanese sellers. Even when they mark things as not very good or not perfect - in my and many others experiences, they tend to be pretty minty. Japanese people seem to take a lot better care of their belongings than other nations. Definitely have more respect for their belongings than a lot of people here in the ole US of A.

You have bad taste in games!

It's not super expensive to get into right now! But I see that changing in a year or two!
so you can play psp games on vita
Great video man. Fellow PSP fan here. I don't have any where close to your collection but you put some effort into this video and I appreciate that! Nice work!
Time stamping my favorites for later 6:51 7:20 8:10 12:58 25:56 , 26:30 32:30 33:30

I used to own a PSP as well but then i have to sell it due to personal reasons. I had lots of great memories with the system.
It's not too expensive to pick up a decent PSP today - and that homebrew scene makes it even more "affordable"! ;]
Adore your collection bud!! So much love for the PSP
Excellent video, love the way you presented the game boxes and the gameplay footage here.
Thanks! Took some time to film and edit but I too love how it turned out.
Dude, great video, just subscribed. When the Klonoa track kicked in, it unlocked the same feeling I had when I played it in 2002 or something. Kinda random, but thanks
PSP revived my love for handheld gaming. You get a sub just for that beautiful collection!

Lumines is my all-time favorite PSP game, give it more of a chance you will love it! Great video presentation btw, looks great
Thanks, Pete!
The psp and the nintendo ds consoles are prolly some of the most fun portables ever to collect
I'll never forgive myself for trading in every PSP I've ever owned. I need to pick one up for keeps at some point. Great video as always!!
Cheap ones are easy to find on eBay!
Been nostalgic about the PSP lately, i gotta give you prop for your collection but especially the video quality !

psp is hands down the best hand held, theres nothing like it, it was a decade before its actual time if you think about it.
Wow! Good collection 👍!
Amazing collection. ❤

I think I played it on a 1000 last time so I may need to give it a try on a 3000 to see if this is true!
Love how u put the black on the god of war psp looks sick
That's cool! My PSP collection has 6 games, so I think I win though!
Hmm, tbh I traded my green one with my friend but never had a chance to buy another non Japanese model. I probably would just buy them and swap the motherboards😅
Mcr on the psp is so 2000s
Love the art of your video. Excellent video, even if i don´t agree on all views about the games :D But still, keep up the great work!
Death jr and 2 is amazing
@@baldigfx I just finished the first a few months ago and really enjoyed it. I'll be hunting 2 eventually.
Definitely the miku psp is probably best edition I have 2 boxed ones. Lol.
Love the color!
Cool video, I sold my PSP 2000 because I have a Vita now. Which does PSP and more lol

Are any of your consoles boxed?

What did the miku ones cost you?
We sure have a different taste, especially in racing games. I don't really think any of the NFS games on the system were that good

Surprised with all those games you have you don't have any Star Ocean
