psp 2000 is the fat psp also known as Phat Psp
psp 3000 is the slim psp also known as Psp Slim
Sony also came out with its newest psp called the Psp Go
PSP 2000 is your best choice. It is permanently softmodable, whereas the 3000 you need to use a .tif exploit every time you want to run homebew. Also, the screen on the 3000 is known to produce motion blur when playing older games because Sony's idea of making a screen brighter is simply to make the blue diodes larger and turn them way up.
PSP 1000 is known as the Phat psp
PSP 2000& 3000 is the slim
the 1000 can be permanently hacked using homebrew and pandora battery but its an outdated model and its big and imho its ugly
the 2000/3000 can be hacked using chickhen or gen homebrew. but its isnt permanent and might not be able to all the new psp iso or cso that come out.
i personally ahve the 3000 and its nice. its alot smaller, looks cleaner compared to the 1000. i get to play prety much any game i wanna play on it so it works for me.
get a 2000/3000 not a 1000
I'd go with the PSP 2000, cause the 3000 is not completely hackable. Though one version of the PSP 2000 isn't either the ones with the new TA-088v3 boards. They are still however Partialaly hackable as the 3000 are. Though if you do get the psp 3000 with the lastest firmware you are outta luck, I think version 6.00 and on, for now. If hacking isn't what you want it for and just playng games, I'd go with the 3000 cause it has a better screen. The 3000 is known as the Brite.
