Which is the Best Version of PSP ?

i have 1000 and 3000, the 3K feels really nice, skype is great,as is tv out. screen issues are really not as bed as everyone thinks! (no, really!) 1K feels 'sturdy' and it's case finish is really nice. ir control is cool. think 3K will get used more if cfw arrives (fingers crossed) was hoping that 33rd march would be a great day for 3K owners.

Definitely PSP-2000

It has to be the first PSP. It's the original and nothing can beat the original...

Even though I'm sure most homebrew now works on the slim there were problems of a few key bits of homebrew that were not compatible with it at first, I'm not too sure if this is the case now, but that is one of the reasons why I didn't get one in the first place... That and I have guitar hands.

I want to say the phat but more ram and tv out for homebrew is nice but yeah the light plastic feeling ;(

I think PSP 2000 is much better.

The PSP-1000 has the best build quality out of the 3 models and an IR port, but the mediocre d-pad turns me off.

I have a 2000 right now, and the d-pad feels pretty good. While it lacks an ir port and bears a cheaper quality than the original, I believe it makes up for it with the additional hardware like extra ram, TV out, and skype.

I honestly don't care for the 3000 at all. No homebrew as of yet, issues with the LCD, and the fact that it's a lot more expensive than the better models is what turns me off.

So, for me, the PSP-2000 is the way to go.

i have two phats and my friend has 2 slims. and we think that phat is better because:
feels better in hand
easier to mod
most hemebrew runs same as on slim
looks better (has holes up the screen and backside is not shiny, so no fingerprints
first ant the best =D
TV OUT IS POSSIBLE! irshell+usb+mac mini+ cable to tv+ctrl+mheelup

As of today the Phat is still better because of the 1.5 kernal mode add-on.

That being said, DAX is working on that 1.5 wrapper(is that the best word for it) for the slims to enable the use of better homebrew that currently only phat users can really enjoy. there are other methods out there, but they all have draw backs.

I don't own a Slim but, if this new software from DAX proves fruitful than I will buy a new one because of the added features of the Slim. The only caveat is the future of PIKEY. I really need to figure out how to use the serial port for a keyboard input. I can live without the IR port as long as I can find a way to have a physical keyboard.

infact you can use a keyboard on the slim

it uses the chatpad from 360 via SIO
