Classic Game Room HD reviews the Sony PSP model PSP-3001, released in 2008. This PSP is the unit that CGR uses for all of the PSP reviews because it has an amazing audio and video output that allows gamers to play the PSP on televisions with component video for the best picture possible. The PSP itself has an amazing screen, sounds great through headphones (or stereo system) and is built with excellent controls and feels solid. The UMD format is the weak link for this (and other, older PSP models) unit because the UMD drive is an optical drive just waiting to have problems. Fortunately PSP owners can download most of their games from the Playstation Network these days, including a huge number of original PSone video games for PSP. Now that the PSP Go is released you may think that the PSP series 1000, 2000 and 3000 are obsolete but they are not! The older PSP models can still download the newest games and rock your journey with Playstation on the go goodness. - Розваги
If you remember this guy, you deserve a veteran's discount
he's coming back!!!
He's returning, so you bet people from the classic UA-cam era will remember him.
This guy crying about the psp annoying asf lmao
i couldn't remembered this vid i was barely existing
was born like a few months later
yep first seen is 2009
Its rare to see a 2009 video in 1080p, looks very recent
+SUPERMEGAHAMs UA-cam On your device it is
SuperMegaHam Productions No, it's 1080p
Yeah lol
Television was 1080p since probably like 2006 or something I dunno.
It's rare to read a 2016 comment un 2023 where the person who did it was talking about 2009 as it was the ice age. 😅
Don't you dare speak ill of the PSP's internet browser! That's where I got my first exposure to the internet and the female body!
lol
+Mr Everything playstation pornable
yep
DSi was my introduction to Pokémon hentai!
xd
Miss them days. Mark was one of the first youtubers I watched and the psp was probably one of my fav consoles.
I really miss this channel, the squirrel face, intro music and mark all go together great!
@@MakoyUnggoy what happened to it ?
@@michaelmyersplays4992 I haven't got a clue, the channel finished a long time ago
he's coming back!!
If you compare the specs of the psp to the 3ds, they are virtually the same despite the obvious lack of dual screens and 3d, but everything else is almost exact. Which means Sony released a handheld in 2004 thats as strong as one Nintendo released in 2011. That is impressive as hell.
Not really, Nintendo just releases underpowered tech because hardware is more of an after thought than a focus point to them ever since the Wii.
Nintendo has ALWAYS done that. Read this on Gunpei Yokoi: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpei_Yokoi
***** Didn't seem that way for the time but than again im not very familiar with the other consoles that were available at the time other than the sega master system.
actually the psp could do 3d too. only one game used it though. one of the metal gear games if i recall.
The Snes and N64 were the most powerful consoles in their bracket when they came out. I don't count the Neo Geo as a rival to the SNES.
i like more physical copies of games than digital ones
+Dub Monster No, you don't
Actually I like physical instead of digital, I just like something that I can touch, in gaming.
Mygingerguy
yeah
+JacobTheButtonMasher thats true, but my psp is broken :(
+Dub Monster I kind of destroyed my PSP back before I had a X360 (Original white model) and how I destroyed it?
Rage, yep, I have aggressiveness in me, back then, I was always grumpy, but now I am like a normal person, but however, if I get pissed off, I will try to not get violent at people, I just go with it.
I've had a PSP for 8 years now and I've never had any error message at all. my UMD's are in good shape, nothing is broken or messed up and it still looks great. It's just how you treat it.
same!!!!
I sold Amy psp biggest mistake besides marying
@@papa_maple6437I sold my psp too but luckily I didn't get married
@@BlazingSlav I didn't sold my two psp nor get married
i found a UMD of Transporter 2 today at a thrift store and bought a $15 cracked psp on offerup. It all working great, i was surprised about the UMD
I actually liked the UMD format. Some of us like physical copies of games bought.
Makenshu san breaks the moment you take it out for the first time? I'm sorry, but that is simply not true. I've never come close to breaking a UMD disk. I find the UMD format to be way more reliable than for example the CD-format. (dvd, bluray or whatever) I think it's pretty equivalent to cartridges. But I sure, it's not perfect.
SphankeyPD The UMDs actually worked out well instead of downloads for buying used and discounted games in local stores and online stores like Half.com, eBay, Amazon, etc. Occasionally a UMD protective case would split apart but that's easily fixed by placing the disc in a snap-on case that's stronger than the original. The chip media for the PS Vita is nice making the console almost solid-state, but they are so small it's hard to read the sticker to determine what the game is. I actually bought UMD movies and they worked out great. Still play my PSP all the time.
*****
I've brought my UMD games on many trips and can't really recall ever having any trouble with disc errors and whatnot.
Been on a trip on the back of a horse, buddy? ;)
Just fucking with you.
I don't see what the big problem is and why people complain so much about the UMD format. It makes me wonder what the hell people are doing with their handheld consoles. xD
+SphankeyPD for me its that THE UMD PLASTIC CASE BREAKS AFTER 2 SECONDS OF PLAYING ANYTHING
+SphankeyPD me too
I bought a psp just to emulate games. I do all my portable gaming on the psp..i've got an nes, a snes, a mega drive, an atari 2600, a vectrex, a game boy advance and a gameboy color where ever I bring my psp, and i'm working on getting the turbo on there too. it's not perfect, but it's pretty frickin great.
I actually like the UMD discs. Never really had a problem with them. I still have my original psp and the games that I do have are fantastic. Thinking about buying a Vita though too.
***** Yeah I have a original FAT psp, had it since launch. I have never seen any of the problems i have read about. Then again the loading mechanism for UMD's are so much better on it. it actually slides into a slot instead of freely moving around before closing.
I got the fat one too.I prefer that one to the slim one.
UMD weren't a mistake. What were they supposed to do in 2004? Flash cards were still around 50 bucks for 1gb, I still had dial up, and were they supposed to put an iPod style mini HD in there? Like that would have been cheaper and more reliable?
It was either a small disc or go a step back with cartridges. It was a time when no obvious solution was available and this was the best trade off.
Maybe it took them a while to phase it out but that's the worst complaint you can level. And if you're UMD's are scratched and dirty you're an idiot who needs to take care of his games, they're already in little cases to protect them.
Has to be a problem with that specific unit, I've never gotten a disc read error, never had games skip or anything like that and I've got the older PSP2000 unit.
All digital games wouldn't have been a good idea then, games ranging from 300MB to 1.8GB on UMDs wouldn't have worked terribly well when memory was expensive at that time. They only included a 32MB stick with the thing if you got the value pack, yeah not a lot remember that. On top of that the memory sticks were a bit expensive, I recall 1GB would run you about 60+ bucks.
So the UMD was a good idea for the most part, just ..not for movies, that was truly a dumb bloody idea.
Hell it's something even the Vita is screwed with, 32GB for 100 bucks, that's mental. I got a microSD card for 30. Sony makes good stuff, but they just can't price their media formats well.
This video has a better quality than more than half of review videos today and this was made in 2009.
got turned off on Classic Game Room when they downsized this year.
Only good video to come out of him recently is the PS VITA review.
I still watch his videos from 2009-2015 though.
I still have my PSP. It's the original model, still works fine. I must be very lucky, as I've never had a disc read error.
I love it, especially since I only had to pay to get games for it, because I got my PSP for free. The back in 2005 at the first university I went to school at had a poker club. It was free to join and play, and the university gave the club money for prizes for each weakly tournament and the big semester end tournament that only the top 40 players from the semester could be in.
I got second in one of the semester end tournaments that year, and the original PSP was the second place prize. That was a good year; I won a lot of stuff that year.
That's so awesome.
Sonic Doctor the PSP 1000/1001 model which you most likely had was built with a better umd tray
B-but... what was the first prize..? :(
my psp’s was my mom’s and she just gave it to me the time i found out how to play consoles. still works, my umds are fine and no errors... i think it’s just how people treated it
Still the greatest Video Game Portable ever made!
Agreed
Still not as good as the ds and game boy
Roger the Robloxian Go away with that kid shit
I don't know man, for me the GBA feels like a sort of pinnacle in handheld gaming, with loads of amazing titles. It also feels like it was 2D gaming's last stand.
Giovanni Di Marco with a little know how the PSP can play gba games. just saying.
to be honest...my psp is flashed and modded so I dont have to use umd's, i just burn them to my memory stick and then dont have to worry about them!
Me too
same :D
My PSP is also a PC Engine, NES, Snes, Sega Genesis, Sega Cd, and GB-GB Color. Plus i have room for PSP Games themselves
Wtf... I have loads of umd movies because I was traveling so much back in the day. And I had absolutely no problem with it. Games movies everything was running smoothly from umd even on the bus and played music as well on the foot. I really do loved/love psp, Im gonna buy one next week because nostalgia. I have so many warm memories with this little machine omg
WaifuRacer Yea, the PSP is amazing. Best handheld eva
Right this guy was crying about it like it was happening to him all stupid he was just assuming 💀
will be forever bitter that I sold my god of war psp to gamestop to buy a carton of cigarettes when I was 16.
+billy ryan If I told you all the stuff I sold for cigarettes you would cry. One of the things on that list is my first car... It was a beautiful 2000 Pontiac Grand prix SE with the 3800... Made 240 horsepower, I loved that car.
+WeActOnImpulse Official But smoking makes you look so cool.
Zestypanda Not as cool as a car
WeActOnImpulse Official smoking meth gets the ladies.
+Zestypanda "yeah right"
UA-cam has changed so much…and so have I
I was using my PSP while watching this video and I found out you can't use the store anymore. :C
tbh I'm happy they didnt go with download it would just take up way more space then it needed to and I can't be the only one that actually enojoyed having physical copies of games and their box instead of virtual downloads
I think some of the UMD PSP games will become pretty collectible in the future. A good many games were released on disc only and did not make the jump to digital download. RPGs especially. The only legal way to play these games will be to track down a copy of the UMD. They didn't sell a whole bunch to begin with, making the supply low. Any increase in demand and the available copies will disappear quickly!
Grew up with this channel man
i owned PSP for 6 years. Great gaming console with many great games, its such a shame that its successor PSV is doing so bad...
Jason Jabez n64 on ds its real
Fortunately the vita finally starts getting quality JRPG games like the newest legend of heroes game. Sadly vita's library still consist huge amounts of otaku games (games utilize "service" artwork as the core gameplay). It's neither I hate otaku games or those games are unplayable, but having over amounts of titles like this feels like a waste of vita's hardware potential. This successor of psp deserves more games like Killzone Mercenary and Persona.
Which is sad. 3DS did not start of well at launch but being able pick up quickly. The Vita has impressive hardware design and deserve the same amount of charming that 3ds has.
***** I kinda got the same setup as you. I've got a nexus 5 and a moga controller for it. I can play DS game on it too!
U mean in america actually here in asia vita is doing great america not so much cause they love 3ds even ds beat psp sales parents buy their kids 3ds instead of vitas since its ateted for kids fact, i bought a vita for games like killzone, soul sacifice, freedom wars, persona 4 golden
am I the only one who actually like the UMD. it might be a pain in the ass but in a bearable way. Not having to download my games, insert whenever, more memory for me. i guess I am a bit old fashioned.
Me too
No, I'll agree with ya. Love my little UMD discs. Cheep and cheerful.
Now tell me what makes them better than cartridges.
Ruine Marie you better have a UMD than downloaded or cartridge.
I've had a PSP since Christmas of 2005, made it easier for my parents to buy the 3 games they got me for it. After years of using UMD I didn't see the point of downloading games on it until 3 years ago when I bought 5 games from the PSN store. Plus I've never had a error saying the UMD can't be read. I guess I got lucky!
I miss my PSP and DS Lite so much. These guys have keep me company and shared a lot of great gaming moments.
PSP and PS2 were the best consoles ever
The DS was also amazing. It was the best selling handheld
TheMamaluigi300 true
Hell yeah
The movies on UMD were encoded in 720p, if I remember correctly. Which means it was the highest resolution optical format you could buy in 2004.
Yep
I honestly dont understand the fuss about the UMD's. Sure, they're pointless, useless and all around redundant. But in all honestly, i've got the E-1004 series one, and i can honestly shake and wobble the system about to no end with a UMD disk inside, and there's no problems with it... No skipping, no "Disc could not be read" errors or anything
*****
Ohh. Well that explains things. Shame it doesnt make UMD's any less stupid and pointless.
*****
I've made mine into a portable Playstation 1. Was well worth the cheap price tag.
Yup. I've got a PS3 anyway, so i can just download stuff from PSN onto the console, and then move them over to the PSP.
I've been thinking about getting a 3000 model, should I go for it? I'm in the states by the way, so I won't be affected by the store shutdown…yet
I'd rather advice you to get the E-1004. They're more readily available, often in better condition, due to being a newer model and the lack of WLAN means that once the store is eventually shut down, you wont be so badly affected, assuming you have either a PS3 or a PS4 system to download and transfer games to (Or a USB cable if you're using CFW).
Have to disagree about UMDs. All it takes is a server shutdown and the PSPGo is stuck with whatever games is downloaded on it at that time. I can continue to find used UMD games and movies for years to come in independent gaming shops and pawnshops. In fact, I can get a lot of PSP games cheap these days.
Too bad the PSP GO was a pile of Garbage. Lol.
It's good for emulation though, perfect placed dpad and buttons. Plus 14 GB stores ALOT of roms
***** Smaller screens don't stretch emulation and with a slightly smaller screen comes a higher ppi which means it looks slightly better.
I could have lived with the smaller screen, but what turned me off the PSP GO was the same thing that turned off everyone else. I.e. That it couldn't play UMD discs. Which, of course, means I can't play the PSP games I already had. Not without buying them again, but what sane person wants to buy the same game twice?
I don't know i had mine hacked, so i could easily play games that weren't available. Personally mine is used strictly for emulation because i like the form factor as it works well imo for them.
Will English I do not buy games... I download them using Torrents and install them on my hacked PSP :)
Psp is great for emulating games, bought one for $10 from a friend and a week later showed him Mario World and Metroid Zero Mission and that was the best part about a psp, seeing the reaction.
Uses for PsP
1. Reactions to playing non psp games
2. Emulating
3. Actual psp gameslol
I quite like UMD's, they are cool little discs!
It's 2015 and I just ordered a white 2000 PSP. They're a great value now refurbished, and have a ton of great games. I had a Vita and sold it, sadly Sony didn't support the Vita enough to make it a system worth holding onto.
*****
There isn't much of a difference at all between the 2000 & 3000 models, except for a slight brightness increase & rounded menu buttons on the 3000. Wasn't worth the extra cost to me.
*****
I like the PSP because I like collecting physical copies of games. The library of games for the PSP is hundreds of titles more than what the Vita has. The servers for the PSP are closed for online play. That doesn't matter to me, I like single player anyways.
+Simon Get Infected... I love that game.
Austin Cervantes
I'll look into it, thanks for the recommendation.
+dan_the _eel (Danil)
Not really, the PSP can be made into a Retro gameplayer if you really wanted to try. (Except when you don't own the games that you're getting ROMs for.)
i loved the PSP its like a mini ps2 and almost perfect for me! It has everything i want and it doesn't have a touchscreen thankfully. I'm sad my mom didn't buy me one when i was a kid now that they are cheap i'll have to see if anyone has one to sell. :)
watching it while on my vita
dont miss this version of the psp....but i did have some good times with it
i always thought the UMD was neat.I don't like digital downloads.
Wait this was in 2009 I’m looking at it now and it looks super recent
Playing psp in 2016 still worth it?
KilrCde134 yes
Most definitely.
+nirvana 8193 still use it?
+KilrCde134 it is worth cause it is cheap now
xIrfanPvP Yeah. There dead cheap to pick up. And the games are dirt cheap with some really awesome titles. Ridge racer, ratchet and clank: size matters, GTA vice and liberty city stories to name a few.
PSPgo in 2023: Useless
Ahead of its time being all digital
Cfw go brrrrr
Sometimes, I wish I bought the psp instead of the shitty ps vita...
Lol I know what you mean psp is so much better than crappy vita.
I don't know, I like my PSP and Vita equally. I can't live without either of them.
DuxDub Studios I respect that everyone like different things if you love it that's good each to there own.
+Paul Barnes I see where you're driving at with the PSP though. The only reason why I still play it is because I pirated a shit load of games on it. >:(
+Paul Barnes *>:)
Actually, the UMD format wasn't a downside. I don't care what people say. Think back to 2005 when this came out, flash 2GB memory chips were far too costly for mass production of games, main reason why the N64 failed so hard because those game card and cartridges are FAR more costly to make than a plastic disc, and that cuts into developers profits.
The Nintendo DS's largest games were 512MB at the absolute max, only game I know that used it was Ni No Kuni. The PSP UMD could hold a whopping 1.8GB in comparison, and I bet you it was way cheaper than a 512MB NDS card.
I can pick up a 3000 psp for $25 should I?
A little late now but yes for sure you should.
You have to buy protection for the psp and take care of it to keep from getting scratches on it dude.. Scratches don't just magically pop up
Agreed
JGS Music one question game price
I'm glad the PSP has physical media because when there is no support you can still play the games.
UMDs were designed to compete with cartridges because manufacturing cartridges was too expansive
I remember I had mine jail broken with free games and shit thanks to my brother it was cool as fuck with DBZ
+Erick Acosta Radular
+Erick Acosta yeah but if you like the game you should buy it... pirating is not good
Zan Getsu Aaarrrrrggghh, avast ye scurvy dog! Pirating is a noble profession and if ye disagree then a plank walk with thee!
Simon Harris
i ain't talkin' about those pirates mate! i be talkin' 'bout the "P1R4Tz"
Back here during COVID-19 for the memories of when we was free....
This is the worst review ever. It's more of a personal review filled with opinions. Most of the problems you talk about most people have never had with the PSP unless you don't take care of it. The PSP is the most powerful handheld system of all time. period
Say that to the PSVita.
TheMamaluigi300 the ps vita doesn't have ears, so talking to it would be ridiculous
reduced fat ice cream is just denial for fat people you beat me to it!! LMAO!!!!
My dad got me a PSP back in 2011 or 2012. He just came home from the store with a PSP. I really do like it. He bought me a few games. Games are GTA Vice City stories, Harry Potter, Ratchet And Clank, Prince of Persia, Rock Band, God Of War chains of Olympus and ghost of Sparta. Despite the fact I played on it a lot, I never bought another game for PSP. Over time I did stop playing on it since I got a 3DS and an IPad. And now I got an Iphone. I still own my PSP. I also just ordered a new charger for my PSP so I can play it again :)
I've never had any disc problems with my psp, EVER.
3000 I believe
i only had that problem when it wasnt updated and i have a 1000
lol thats probably because they system updated it
Butts Butts Well that's the newer model. They fixed the problems from the earlier ones.

saksham khandelwal me too but it doesn't work anymore
;(
PSP is overrated is more good for hacking but Vita is way better in term of design and you can even play PSP games without them fucking up.
Still my favorite handheld of all time.
Where can I buy a brand new psp for a reasonable price? By reasonable I mean not over $200 lol
I have owned a psp for years and not once have I had any game I own on umd ever skipped or fail to load.
+JRRacing64 me too, I have one since 2008 and I still play with it every other day. I have a 3000 series, but I prefer the 1000. For some reasons loading times are slower and the UMD drive is less effective. Look like they cheaped out on the last version.
2018. I was going to buy Vita or this. Switch was out of the question as too expensive both in hardware and in software, plus its a bit too big to be considered trully portable. Vita has very few triple A titles.
I ended up buying a PSP and I absolutely love it. This device was lightyears ahead of its time.
Still to this day, NOTHING beats it in style and ease of use, when all you wanna do is pop in a game and play a few minutes wherever you are.
I just purchased a psp 3000 after not owning a psp in a long time... idk why I just love the design of the older models. It’s slightly nostalgic for me, haha. & It’s the perfect train companion.
i buy it in 2013 and i love it
bu if you dont jailbreak you dont unlock full power of this thing
I loved that system, had some good games for me since I didn't own a PS2 at the time. Plus then you had the homebrew emulators (and I did some homebrew programming with it too). I had the PSP 1000 Japanese system, it weight a little more than the later models but to me it made it feel more like a "premium" game system.
in japan the psp is still relevant cause umds are easier to manufacture for like dating sims n stuff
I would get the PSP-1000, PSP-2000 or the PSP-3000 instead of the PSP Go and PS Vita because you cannot remove the PSP Go and PS Vita's rechargeable battery packs. Sony has to do that for you, which sucks. The UMD drive was a really crappy idea to begin with because the UMD drive makes your PSP games and PSP movies freeze up, which gets really annoying. Like the PSP Go and the PS Vita, I highly recommend downloading and installing your favorite PSP games and movies on to your older PSP models from the PlayStation Store.
Im missing my psp you too? 2020 rip kobe

PSP is the greatest handheld ever. The UMDs are dope, everything about PSP is amazing. YES
"They should've gone digital in the first place'." Not in 2005! The hell you're thinking Mark? That's too new for 2005 and would've killed the PSP right away. Even in 2019, having a portable system that's all digital wouldn't work at all.
It was a very good portable console. Very easy to crack or hack it and put on it emulators and roms like nintendo 64.
The psp never needed a second analog stick. when people complain that the psp lacked one, they need to remember the *Sega Dreamcast*. Same button layout, but nobody complains about the lack of an analog stick on that
reduced fat ice cream is just denial for fat people Most Dreamcast games the people remember were designed exclusively for it, so the single analogue stick was taken into consideration. The PSP had mostly ports or spin offs where a second analogue stick had been standard. God of War and Warriors did a great work around job but Peace Walker and Medievil suffered for it
Nadia how kick ass would it be if they made a dreamcast emulator for psp? then it'd be worth jailbreaking imo
What I'd give for it. At least Power Stone is on there, and Jet Set Radio looks better on the Vita than it even did on the Dreamcast in the day.
Nadia I want sonic adventure 2 and space channel 5 on psp. ps vita is too expensive and doesn't have any games
+reduced fat ice cream is just denial for fat people
HAHA you're hilarious making fun of fat people with your name!. So original and edgy!
I've had a PSP (1000) for so long and never have i once used the UMD because ive never seen those being sold where i am (i used memory stick and install roms which I KNOW is pirating but nobody really plays the PSP anymore so :P)
I dont understand all your hates for the psp. Its 2015 and i still play it today. And i freakin LOVE it. Great graphic great sound and very cheap (but awesome) handheld gaming console. Really tough one too. Still survive perfectly untill today.
PS Vita fixes with, what I call, "Sony SD's". Because Sony hasn't figured out yet that slightly-modified-proprietary-crap PISSES PEOPLE OFF.
My games NEVER froze or skipped. My GTA liberty city stories would get this weird black stripe running out from taxi drivers whenever it got dirty, but other than that it worked perfectly.
Sorry Mark.. But the biggest problem with the PSP is the same one as with the VITA.. The Sony Propitiatory Memory CARD...
The UMD's for me has never been a problem.. In fact, I, love the format... ( PSP, Headphones, UMD Film what more do you need for a long car, train, bus journey ) ...
I've have my PSP1000 since, it's original UK release date and it is still the system, I have loaned out the most, to friends and family, ... ...
+The Pumpking King just get an adapter on Amazon they're like 5 bucks then you can have a 64GB sd card in your psp
+The Pumpking King Except the PSP's memory sticks aren't absurdly expensive like the PS Vita's...
Yea. now, but back when it was released.
Sony killed the PSP and the VITA the same way..
Except the PSP managed to sell around 80 million units regardless. Meanwhile the Vita is dead in the water at...what? A 10th of that?
+The Pumpking King now Nintendo has secured future sales of the 3DS with Pokémon Moon and Sun, Pokemon and Sony both killed the Vita.
I can't fucking stand the ghosting on the 1000, it makes some of the games look like shit.
It's Your President all models have it. at least the 1000 and 2000.
what is the music that plays when you start talking in the review? the music sounds like jazz or something.
I like Lord karnage but I don't like this review that much, I love the PSP and I backed mine which makes it even more fun, and the games on it are great and I think the UMD is a good idea because if it was fully downloadable I think that would be stupid because if someone hacks your account or something ever happens to it you lost hat game and haven to buy the game again and people like me that actually likes getting the physical copy would be upset, and with the UMD movies is optional and isn't a bad idea because again physical copy
It's 2020 and I still use 2009 psp😂
Yeah guessed it you are an apple fan... 🍏🍏🍏 you kept saying useless negatives of the psp.... lol.... So apple fan.
Psp is so easy to hack into, you can do all sorts of things with it.
I much rather have it on UMD drive. I never had any trouble with UMD drive it still works great today
i think psp is better than iphone or other smart phones (i mean better at games)
I've never had any of those problems, my UMDs always worked "maybe the issue is with the newer models since I have a psp 1000". The internet sucked but it's harder to find a router that's compatible now so the internet isn't really a problem. Get a 32gb mem stick and hack your psp, you can get psp games for free and you can emulate the NES and the SNES.
+Morrius07 I have a PSP 1000 that I bought off ebay a while back and the latch for the UMD drive doesn't quite click all the way so if I were to bump it just a bit it would shut of the game since it thinks it is open. Fortunately I bought it pre-softmodded so the UMD drive is pointless.
Here is hoping the Vita gets the same softmod treatment.
I remember I used to have the psp in like 2012 there was the one race car game me and my cousins used to play but then one of my other cousins broke the screen because he raged while playing the race car game still love this when I get the money imma buy this game again
remember when you was the cool kid cuz you'll bring the psp to school #memories
this thing could be more success if only it have two or 2 things;
> Monster Hunter as system killer for it
> right analog stick
Oh, the screen is easy to scratch. Then I guess the Gameboy isn't portable.
....i never had any of these issues
Since it only has one joystick does it make it weird how you can't control the camera?
I've been playing on PSP since 2005 and I've never gotten the disc could not be read error across my PSP-1000 and PSP-3001 models. I must have gotten a really good one then! I love this thing so much that I bought a spare one just in case my current one stops working and if they stop making it which they probably have by now. I think I only have like 2 movies on UMD only because they were cheaper than the DVD version and I have a component cable to output to my TV which would have been amazing to have back when I got it! Star Wars Batttlefront II was my most played game, after a while I somehow regretted choosing a PSP over a PS2 but then Battlefront: Renegade Squadron (PSP exclusive) came out and I was super happy! Then Battlefront: Elite Squadron came out for it and it was a good time to own one! Love this thing to death!
I used to own a PSP and ive never gotten the "The Disc could not be read"
Great review man. Do you think you will be doing a PS Vita review anytime soon?
If someone donates something it'll be reviewed pretty much.
Wow that 2000’s comedy-like humor at the end of the video!
I had one just a couple of years ago. I will give it this. It's tough as hell. I dropped it, threw it, even punched it a couple of times and it kept on working, until a couple of years ago. It could not read discs anymore. Everything else still works, just not the UMD. I had it for about 3-4 years.
the psp is amazing😍😍😍
I still have my PSP the umd was the best option for the PSP so whenever I go to another game or movie I use umd in the PSP I don't use to download games in the memory stick though I prefer umd the best option for it I still have gran turismo,namco museum battle collection,and Italian job and a lost umd game naruto ultimate ninja heroes
