The Hannah Montana PSP 3000s were selling for $100 around here. If your son doesn't mine a purple PSP it's pretty darn cheap and about the price you'd pay for a used one.
tikker, I'm wondering what it would it take for him to be able to play KH bbs and if it's too complicated I might just have to buy the psp3. you'll have to forgive my ignorance when it comes to the hacking, kinda goes over our heads. if he could put the new kh game in and play it right away then that's what I'm interested in.
I don't think I've ever had what I'd call "fun" with my PSP. It causes physical pain to hold it for longer than a few minutes and the games are "meh" at best.
Mine has been sitting, collecting dust since about 2 weeks after I bought it.
I enjoy my PSP. I have pretty big hands and I've never cramped up using it.
Plenty of good games too. A lot of the popular ones I don't care for though. Never been a fan of God of War on the big boy consoles or PSP. Crisis Core pretty much sucks too, but games like Crush, Mega Man Powered Up, D&D Tactics make up for it.
I wish they'd do less 3D emulation of next gen console games. Play to your strength. Don't try to do what you can't.
