Sorry for bumping this post, but I'm giving this one to my Dad, as well as a game I know he'll like, for xmas. Puzzle Quest (He'll never look on here)

I got a 2006 model, and had it modded by a friend of my sis-in-law, I can play game boy games, sega genisis, nintendo, super nintendo, as well as downloaded full PSP games.

Nice review. I got myself a PSP-2000 a few months ago. It's a fun system to have, but I prefer my DS even more. The DS just feels more compact and I feel I gotta baby my PSP a little more. I would have a hard time giving it a 8.5/10 due to the fact that I feel there are better games on the DS versus the PSP, but this is a personal preference. Plus for those just running PSP with UMD is just bad imo (PSPGo is not really a better option either by removing UMD - although I believe 3rd party has made an external UMD reader). Let's bring back cartridges lol. My rating would be 8.0/10 with the DS getting a 8.5/10. Don't get me wrong though, the PSP is definately a better format for more "mature" gamers while the DS is more of an "all ages" gamers. Both have a decent collection of great games. I'm only playing FF games on the PSP, but I'm playing a few more other types of games on the DS.

On the topic of modding, I think all PSPs are now moddable as of a month ago, though don't quote me on it because I'm not into this stuff. Sony will fix this though, as they always do.

It'll definately keep you busy, especially if you can play old school console games, cuz there's a lot of fun relaxing games from back then.

Other games of interest on PSP for the masses:
God of War
I believe there are two Ratchet and Clank games
Gran Turismo (although I hear this is not up to par with previous GT games)
2x Daxter games (one which is already mentioned by MoM
GTA games (esp Chinatown Wars)
all if not most of the FF based games (okay I'm biased!)
Metal Slug Anthology is a must have for platform based shooters (available on many other consoles too)
Little Big Planet (although I'm not a fan of the PS3 game but people love it)

There are Metal Gear games too if you like those types. I'm probably missing a few more but there is a lot to choose from.

The last I looked, the 3000 models are not moddable, but i haven't looked into it since August/September.

I just like the wide screen on the PSP.
