  • I love it
So good PSP
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2026 by Luis Sosa

  • Works really well and very nostalgic! Works really well and very nostalgic!
It works great! Only a couple little scratches on the screen but for a pre-owned PSP from 2009, it works well and in excellent condition. Battery life isnt the best because of it's age but I am so happy and thrilled with my purchase. Pure nostalgia, thank you so much!

  • It came modded and with extra stuff not in the listing
Very very surprised when this came in. The screen has a good amount of scratches on it I can’t even lie that’s really the only reason this gets a 4 and not a 5 well that and 50% of the time when you turn it on the buttons don’t work. This console came modded with silent hill origins downloaded and with a 120gb sd card with a psp to sd adapter and even came with a clear protective case. I very much recommend this even though there are slight issues this is still the best deal around for a psp 1000 ... show more

  • PSP phat, excellence in all media
UPDATE - Bought in 2007, it is now 2010 and my PSP 1000 is still working great! While this machine is being phased out for the updated model, the PSP version 1 or 1000, or whatever it is being called, is an excellent device for multimedia. I have had mine for just about 4 months, and am very pleased with the way it can store music, photos, mpeg4 video, and even with a handy program I found on the net, I can take my dvd's that I have recorded and put scenes from them on my PSP. The latest firmware 3.71 allows videos to play sequentially without breaks between clips, which is a great feature. For a little handheld the sound is fine on the PSP even without the earbuds if you just want a little background music nearby. It truly is a wonderful device. The video picture quality is amazingly sharp. With many mp3 and video players, you hear of terrible horror stories, machines breaking after a couple months, or just not working right from the start. So far my PSP does everything that I want it to do, it has been a very reliable machine. The only time I had a problem was when I was saving a game, and I was falling asleep with it on my chest, and i sort of dropped it, Just a couple inches but it turned off and I lost the game save that I had been playing for a week. The PSP syncs to my win XP PC with no trouble at all. I have learned that you are not supposed to erase files that are in your PSP with your PC or the PSP may have a problem, so I have not done that. Copying files from the PC to the PSP is a snap. Just delete files through the PSP itself. Of course, the PSP does something no other machine can do which is play PSP games, and there are some great ones out now, and more on the way. One of these days I am looking forward to possibly downloading PS1 games to it, we'll see what happens there. As far as homebrew goes, I personally am just not interested. I do have a bunch of "official" demos on it that I downloaded from the web from reputable websites. Lately there has not been a whole lot of new demos, if a game is good I think the publishers should release a demo. I have never dropped the PSP on the floor. You should make sure you don't do that. Maybe it would break, maybe not, let's not find out. If you are travelling, keep the PSP in a case when not in use. I am very pleased with my purchase of the PSP. ... show more

  • PSP 1000 core review
Please note that this is a 1st generation PSP. I beleive the most current PSP is the PSP 3000. I purchased this brand new item because it is able to do one thing my PSP 2000 will not--format PhotoFast CR-5400 MS Pro Duo-->MicroSDHC Dual Slot Adapter cards PhotoFast CR-5400 MicroSD to MS Pro Duo Adapter Dual Slot. I did a firmware upgrade on my PSP 2000 a while back and Sony slipped a mickey in the software--it will still read these adapters, but will no longer format them. Dirty pool--Sony wants you to buy its overpriced Memory Stick Duo Pro memory cards! (Since writing this, I may have had a bad adapter card. I bought a new one and had no issues on my PSP 2000. Everything else applies to the PSP 1000. I still think its a gem) Nevertheless, if you find a good clean PSP 1000/1001, they are still very worthy devices. The screens are still terrific, and to be honest, they are made so much better than newer PSP models. Newer PSP's are very plasticy, inside and out (I guess I expect better from Sony), but the 1000's are almost all solid metal. I particularly appreciate the positive catch for the UMD drive. Sony put so much quality into the 1000's. It's a pity current generation PSP's aren't made so well. I would beware of any PSP that has been modded. While the modifications might work fine, you could wind up with a real headache--BEWARE! If you are a hard-core gamer, purchase the latest, greatest PSP (PSP 3000). I am told that some of the newer games may not run so good on the PSP 1000. Newer games may also require the advanced firmware, the increased system memory, and the faster processors the new ones have. The screens are slightly better on new ones too--but then, shouldn't they be? If you are a more casual PSP user like I am, and you use your PSP more for movies and playing your favorite MP3's, with an occasional jaunt on the internet using the built in Wi-Fi? You'll be very happy with the PSP 1000. It should provide you with years of reliable service--and it just feels good in your hands. As I say, it truly is sad Sony didn't put the same build quality into current generation PSP's. Perhaps next time. ... show more

  • with airbags and the psp itself protected nicely in bubble wrap
I ordered two PSP 1000's from Premium Shipment, and they both arrived separately within a week of the order. One box was packaged very well, with airbags and the psp itself protected nicely in bubble wrap. The other box, however the psp being wrapped, had absolutely none of those airbags whatsoever. But both of them charged and powered on just fine. It turns out they were both from Japan, the XMB using 'O' button as primary rather than the cross. They were produced in 2009 with a firmware of 6.1. One of them is in mint condition, even came with a screen protector applied. The other has very minor cosmetic scrapes with a couple scuffs on its glass, but runs and plays just as well. Interestingly, the buttons and D-pad in particular are much improved from the 2005 US version of the PSP 1000, which I own. On-par with the 2000 or 3000 that was being released at the time of production, really I can do diagonals with no issue. A couple of beautiful units that I'm pleased to have acquired. Will buy again, A++. ... show more

  • ... hmmmm
The psp is by far the most handy portable game system when it comes to being able to play music and show pictures but when push comes to shove there are some flaws that can make even a patient gamer mad. The three biggest ones are 1. The battery life is too short and even though you can get other batteries you shouldn't have to in the first place. 2. Loading screens are common and some take FOREVER! 3. to get video on it you have to use CRACKLE a online video site like youtube or you have to get a special program that costs money. Now you may say that i am being too harsh so let me tell you some good things about it. 1. there is online play in a fare amount of the games and it is quite fun. 2. there is a very great web browser on this system and it is useful for a kid that wants to check his email on the road. 3. Some of the best games for this system are now under 20 dollars Over all i am glad that i have traded in my Nintendo DS for a PSP but as i have found neither system is perfect but time will see both of them do great things. ... show more
