get the psp 3000 not the GO just yet, the online community is big depends on how popular the game is, don't know about Killzone sorry :D hope this helpsConsidering buying a PSP just a few ques ...
thanks pecan50 was thinking about the PSP 3000, is there much difference between it and the 2000? thanks again :D
Yeah online community is big and packed with cheaters! There's a huge competition going on there: Who cheats better?

Regardless, PSP is a great system and with so many great games on the way, you can't go wrong with it. Personally, I have been in PSP family for 2 years (PSP-2000) now and I've always been satisfied with it, except for the fact that I want more RPGs.
Thanks Pooyanh, when you say full of cheaters is it relly that bad? I mean is it like every game you play your gonna get at least 2 cheaters or is it just every now and then you'll see 1?
Wat do u mean cheaters? I am considering a PSP also. Also, how are FPSs on the PSP since there is only 1 analog stick??
Cheaters=kids with custom firmware who hack to get unfair advantages in online games. Probably shouldn't even call it hacking, more like copying and pasting lol.But yeah, most online games have them, trick is finding a good core group of players to game with you know don't do it. (which is possible)Killzone Liberation is an awesome game, but it's nothing like it's next gen counterpart. Online is fun. Lots of good shooters on PSP.Third person is probably it's best genre but theres a few solid FPS's as well.Check out the Syphon Filters, Socom Series, Manhunt 2, Resistance, MGSPO, the MOH's and Coded Arms to start. Bunch more great ones but those should hold ya off.For RPG's, Crisis Core, Jeanne D'arc, and Valhalla Knights 2 are solid. Kingdom of Paradise, DnD Tactics, Untold Legends series. You'll have your hands full.As for the system itself, I'd go for the PSP 3000. It's the most recent model and has the most features/best specs. Great bang for your buck.Core pack should run you about 169$ US, not sure what the translation is but I'll leave that to you. ;)
I'm thinking about PSP3000 too. I'm wondering how many games on PSP support WiFi multiplayer (not ad-hoc, but real multiplayer with servers and so forth). In Europe PSP's price is a little bit higher. So I've decided to buy just the system with memory card primarily and try to get some demos from PSN for a while. Meanwhile I'll be getting some money for UMD full versions. Is this a good strategy? Does the number of demos in PSN store depend on country/region?
OK, I've found some info about PSP online multiplayer games:http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/read_article.php?topic_id=26831621%26union_id=18035Hope it will be useful for those who were looking for the same info :)
If I were you, I would get a psp-2000. they are not as bright as the 3000, but the 2000 has a few more ''tricks'' up it's sleeve.
@Megasus_What kind of ''tricks'' are you talking to. To jump on this, after E3 I'm really interested in a PSP since I'm going to start travelling for work more and need something to do on long flights and layovers. I'm not really interested in the Go because it looks too small for my hands and I was considering the 3000 but if one is better, that'd be good info ;)
you should look into the psp - 2001. i bought last year and have totally satisfied. the only thing i dislike about the psp - 2001 is that it's battery pack is really sensitive to falling of and such. but it's cheaper and just as good as the 3000. don't get the ''PSP GO''! we don't know how good it will be . some good games for the psp are- 1. crisis core 2.burnout legends 3.daxter 4.resistance retribution and 5.medal of honor heroes 2. hope this helps.
Get the PSP 3000, but i would wait until the PSP Go comes out, because then its getting much cheaper.You should keep the following games in mind:Already Released: God of War Chains of Olympus, Ratchet and Clank Size Matters, Resistance Retribution, Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, Patapon 2, Gran Turismo, Rock Band Unplugged, Motorstorm: Arctic Edge, Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, Marvel Ultimate AllianceNot Released yet: Resident Evil Portable, LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, Assassins Creed: Bloodlines, Tekken 6Hope this helps

He means tricks as in being able to hack your PSP to play pirated games, I guess.

I use programs to bring my own UMD games on to my mem stick. (saves physical space)ok, i have youtube too
Im getting the psp go and depending on your lifestyle, you should get whatever is best for it. If its a 3000 then get the 3000, if its the go then get the go.And killzone is a great game and has a dedicated online community. Im on there around 5 hours a week and I would say that I come across a hacker maybe one or two games a night, but then its not as bad as these ppl make it out to be. Honestly it doesnt affect the online that bad since I would just leave the server and come back later

I recently upgraded from my original ''fat'' PSP 1000 to the 3000er series. So far, I'm quite happy. No ''scanline'' issues either with the newer, more colorful

display of the 3000er series. Keep in mind that Sony now sells the console ''bare bones'', so at the minimum you'll need the following accessories:



1) A memory card.

2) A case

3) A USB cable

4) A screen protector

5) A headset



The built quality of the newer models is flimsy to say the least. The backcover that opens for the UMD discs looks really finicky.



The catalogue of available games is now very good. The PSN store is crap.
If you're going to buy a new PSP, then you should buy a PSP, unless you change your mind and don't want to buy one after all. It's up to you. Keep in mind that if you buy a PSP, then you'll have one, and if you don't buy one, then you won't have one. I forget if I have one myself, but we're not talking about that. Where talking about PSP's. The existing PSP's are supposed to have a shinier screen than the Go. Let that be your deciding factor as to whether or not you should buy a PSP, and what model you should get.
