Plus the mechanical UMD drive is better than the slim's glorified cover. The PSP1000 is also the easiest to hack and it has a better screen than the 3000 (it's interlaced, wtf?). That's my opinion anyway.
Thank you!

Now if only I had money whenever one in immaculate condition came in to my GameStop! I swear, I've never seen one that isn't completely trashed by a five year old kid who's way too young to even know how to use it.

Mine is still in mint condition. I keep the screen covered by a microfiber cloth and kept in a hard case with a foam lining. Hasn't got a single scratch on it, I have to admit they do seem prone to being scratched, hence the completely over the top protection.

It's not just that, I mean literally 90% of all the PSP's coming into my store are annihilated by their owners, Cracked screens, gouged scratches, broken hinges, busted drives, missing buttons, dead batteries, torn up chargers, the works I've seen it all and only one or two that I've ever even considered spending money on.

Whoa, I guess some people are taking the PSP too "personally."

I don't really want to say this, but it seems to be a territorial thing. Back when i lived in Jersey, if you saw a kid bang up his PSP that bad the parents would bring sell something like that just to get rid of it and not buy them another until the kid themselves had the money to do so. Down here in North Carolina the cool hip thing is for most parents to get kids stuff that I wouldn't get my own until they turned like 14. I have never been more frightened as a gamer than when I saw a kid freshly open a PSP his parents had bought New not five minutes ago, drop both it and the game on the floor, leave it there for a few minutes to look at the shelf next to him and start looking for the PS3/PSP shelf and ask for this and that.

My mom would have murdered my ass if she had spent $200 on a game console not five minutes ago only to see it sprawled on the floor, not to mention a GLOSSY (JESUS H. CHRIST SONY STOP MAKING YOUR SHIT IN GLOSSY PIANO BLACK NO ONE WANTS THAT COLOR! LOOK HOW WELL THE MATTE PS3 SLIM DID IN COMPARISON TO THE GLOSSY ORIGINAL PS3 FOR REFERENCE!) black colored one.

But nowadays it seems as if to most kids getting a new console is a common occurrence, to me when I got my first GameBoy (WOO Color!) I revered the freaking thing and never got a single scratch on it, ever.

I like to call it the PSPGoFuckYourself. It's actually a pretty good name if you think about it. Sony is trying to screw over the customer.

Yeah, the PSPgo is crap and frankly, I don't think anyone should support download only hardware

F*** that.
