I bought my first psp second hand (1000)when I was seventeen. I loved that thing so much. I lived off the grid at the time and I used that thing way more than what I think most other people did. I definitely used mine much more than the only other two people I knew my age whom had one.
Despite loving that thing so much, I had so may issues with stick drift of that thing, and I did pull it apart and replace the actual component but it didn't fix it.
Apparently the stick issues were fixed in the 3000 and Go models.
I just bought a PSP Go last week about fifteen years later after owning my original. I no longer own my original, I gave it away as a gift to a dear friend back in the day.
Holy shit, now I've got the Go, I can't believe how awesome the psp actually is. I've forgotten. It blows my mind how beyond its time it was, even in emulation. I am loving this thing just like fifteen years ago.
In my opinion you've only got two things to consider compact form factor or not? If you need that compactness and are willing to pay for it like I was, get a psp GO. If you don't need that, then fuck the psp, and get a Vita instead.
Psp 3000 if you're on a budget. Personally I wouldn't get a 1000 or 2000 because Sony didn't fix their stick drift issues until afterward. I only say that, having owned two 1000s that suffered the same issue, had the components replaced and continued to experience the same problem.

[@argon8808]

Same story here. I'm 37 and had All the psp s . Had Issues with 1000 2000 and 3000. But I never had any issues with the PSP GO. I still play the PSP GO without any issues :)

I love my Go, used it only this week on an 8 hour train journey, completed MGS1 and loved it, even upgraded the battery to 3700mah last forever, plus go has Bluetooth, use it for music and movies to, will never be without it

[@theretrouniverse]

Yes the PSP Go is really great for bluetooth stuff too! MGS1 is a banger by the way! Just finished it myself not too long ago again

[@nostalgiaholic4874]

Honestly yea the vita is better but I love the pspgo it's so portable and with the umd disc being so expensive why bother with it

[@tri-ox9508]

I have all three and enjoy them all :). Lucked out and picked them up a few years ago on eBay for really good prices.

[@theretrouniverse]

Before the dark times of resellers! As did I!

[@tri-ox9508]

Yeah! Prices for any of these handhelds are insane, especially for good condition examples.

[@blicced7017]

I have 2 PSP go black & white and chose to get a psp 3000 over a vita in 2024. I have no connections to vita, I play psp games for nostalgic purpose doesn’t hit the same on the vita
