Reddit mentions of PlayStation Portable 3000 Core Pack System - Piano Black

Final Fantasy Tactics is available for the PS3, PSP and the Vita platforms. However, owning a homebrewed PSP gives you access to that game (and all other PSP titles) for free. Also, once homebrewed, the PSP gives you the ability to play Atari, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, GameBoy and many other older consoles games in the form of ROMS through emulators.


You can pick one up brand new for $99.99 on Amazon if you're interested.


The Vita is very locked down compared to the PSP at the present time. This may change in time, but in my opinion, the PSP is still the way to go for absolute freedom and perks.

Are you sure you want it used? Buying it new is still very viable, it has a great price:

If you still want it used I recommend Amazon. They have the best consumer protection - they will truly bend over backwards for you if you get a used lemon.

Brand new PSP-3000 without any games is $100, so not bad.

While there really aren't any new games coming out for it, there are plenty of exclusives and depending on the types of games your son likes, a cool system to explore.

One of the best things about being new to PSP this late in the life cycle (near the end) is that games are fairly cheap. I managed to get a lot of brand new games for roughly $5 - $15 off amazon.com with free shipping. So while it's certainly not on the cutting edge of gaming, it's a good time to pick it up and experience on the cheap.

Amazon However, I bought a new PSP-3000 from Amazon about a year ago and there were plenty new. What happened?

Y'know, I keep saying the PSP even though it makes me sound like a 12 year old, but I think the bows I've added are pretty damn cool too. ;)

yeah...I'll pass on the $150 I dropped my last psp and it broke so I just need the actual console and the charger.

Amazon still sells them new:
