Hi all

Im getting a PSP in a week or so when im paid.

Am i best getting a pre-owned one or new?

Slim or original?

What sort of prices should I be looking at too?

Thank you

If it's in good condition, pre-owned.

However, you don't know how much stick it's been given - the controller could be worn, the battery life reduced.

Get the Slim model (V2000) - longer battery life. However, the brand new slim model (V3000 with brighter screen) has a shorter life and display issues.

Have a read at this:

also depends what youre planning on doing with it. If you want to run custom firmware, the old models are easier to flash. New ones need a pandora battery

slim one is sooooooo much lighter, avoid the newest, as there are rumours of a recall due to screen probs.

bought one from game preowned saved about 20 quid and it was perfect
