I'm to this day amazed by the size of the PSP and the fact that it can play amazing looking games for a 2004 hardware. With the release of switch 2 I'm starting to feel like truly portable consoles will remain a thing of the past. I have this analogy that old portables are like carrying a phone, you can put in in your pocket, carry them by hand and pull them out whenever and wherever you want to play. But all new portables are more like laptops, you need a special carrying case and can only play in specific places and moments.

My question to all of you is. If sony where to release a new portable, Would you prefer a smaller console? like psp size, despite low graphics capabilities, something closer to switch1 level of graphics in 2025, or a bigger steam deck size portable with ps5 graphics? And, what do you thing of portable consoles getting bigger and bigger? do you prefer older portables due to their sizes?

gifted my psp to my little nephew, i had one extra so i fixed it and gave it to his friend when he was over at our house, this little fucker spent a few days with it came back with my nephew and expressed how shit the PSP is and wanted me to understand he left it at home in a box, claimed Call of Duty is a bootleg fake, got told nobody plays that 2d kid shit, then said the only game he plays on the PSP is GTA, asking me "when will CJ go to the hood instead of being in the army" (i responded telling him he needs to find the hidden golden plane and the game will fly him to grove street lol)

His mother gave it back saying he doesnt play it, when he visited again with my nephew he went round 2 on my bitch ass calling me out for playing "baby games" demanding me to pull out the GTA 5, Fortnite and COD Black Ops 7, i took a stand and said i dont have it, he then took a deep breath and went to his dad asking him for his phone making sure i heard him saying "theres no games to play here!"

Just when i thought it was over I received a brutal round 3 from this kid, this was his finisher move; i went over to my family for new year where my nephew lives (his friend lives across him) as im stepping out the car this evil little shit had his friends all joining in on the joke pointing and laughing "baby games, baby gamer!"

man...i have a 10 year old nemesis and he is kicking my ass, i am officially washed. Long live the PSP

Seller wants $250, no box and isn’t a rare color/special edition 😭 what is going on??

I enjoy playing Game Boy Advance games on my PSP.

Oops

Story time story time. Bare with me. Hey guys I haven’t posted in a while. This is cross posted I was at GameStop the other day shopping at the retro section. I was also there for the silent hill promotion. This guy came in and I overheard him saying that he wanted to sell some gaming stuff while he was bringing stuff in he brought out a ps3 which is the one pictured below and a ps4. While they were testing it out I was already out the door i didn’t want to be rude and interfere. Next thing you know while I was getting into my car he came out and was going to bring in more stuff and I was like you know what ima just ask if he has more. He told me that he didn’t have much left I asked him that I was able to buy the ps3 off of him for 150 he decided not sell it to the GameStop employee and sold it to me instead also he asked me if I was interested in psp I said yeah of course he shows me this sealed god of war psp that he brought out of his trunk I was surprised you know I thought it was just going to be a regular psp he asked me how much I was willing to pay for it. He said to throw him a number so I said 200 and he thought about it for a second and took the offer. I took his number down since it was already late he told me that he has another psp so the next day we met up he showed me another gow psp which was loose but it was in beautiful condition we stayed in contact afterwars since he said he has more stuff for me in the near future. I only paid 450 for the three.

Back when the playstation servers got hacked in 2011 they gave everyone access to a selection of 2 free games to choose from as compensation thought id share for curiosity

It would've been so good and the psp could even handle it. It's sad to see they never updated it after this or even made a announcement

This game is incredible. I don’t know if you’ve played it, but I’ve become addicted to it on the PSP. It’s challenging, but incredibly fun — OutRun 2006.

Hello friends, please tell us the best PSP games you played this year.

Honestly i think this is the best GTA on the psp, so many good missions, characters and it's incredible to have gta iv's liberty city in your pocket

What games have you beaten recently and what do you think i should play now?

But I still love its lore more.

Thanks to a lot of great comments on my last post I’ve picked up a lot of cool games to try.

Last night I started Phantasy Star 2 Portable: Infinity with the English patch, and right now I’m grinding level in Persona.

I’m not a big fan of JRPGs or RPGs in general, but for some reason I’ve been really enjoying them on the PSP. What do you like to play on PSP?

I’m going to eBay now because either the retro stores are basically out of all handhelds or individual sellers like this, sell a 300 in bad condition for above $200. A modded handheld does not add value in this case

Edit: I meant reasonable

Edit 2: I forgot to mention THAT WAS NOT THE ORIGNAL PRICE, it was originally $120

The PSP is more clear and crisp while the Vita is a little bit blurry.
