Why Spend $99 on a PlayStation Classic When You Can Hack a PSP and Never Shut the Fuck Up About It?

[dAVID_]

It's cringy.

Because either give me two analog sticks or give me none.

WTF is a PSP?
Is this some shit released by shit company?
Well, a Nintendo fanboy like me won'T ever buy such shit...

A psp is a chinese lcd handheld console that plays all your favorite lcd games, like... uh, well... a ripoff of a fighting game you might know...

I dunno.

The SNES one made sense for this site.

PlayStation however, the users here are torn between going the hack route, and throwing their money at the best gaming company ever, Sony.

PSP is a rip-off of the 3DS. Sonee never has any original ideas.

• You never owned a psx/ps2/ps3/psp/vita and want to try out a bunch of old games legitimately on an easy tv setup.
• You must own intellegent qube game and it's not available on the psp/ps3 psn online store.
• you think it's cute and would look nice on your shelf
• you are a collector and love everything playstation
• hacking stuff is too hard and you are afraid of bricking
• emulating stuff on a pc or raspberry pi is too complicated
• you have an extra usb ac adapter and need to find a use for...
• your 8 port hdmi switch has extra space on it and you want to attach more devices!

Downloading an emulator and ROM and opening it up to run said ROM is too hard? Huh, who'd have thought?

 

[Bakana]

just get yourself a ps vita tv

Nostalgia factor also counts the controller design, it's probably more enjoyable to play video games with the original gamepad it was originally designed. PSP has good emulators, however the experience is not completely the same.

 

[the_randomizer]

Don't forget that PSP screens have interlacing and ghosting issues, kinda ruins the experience IMO.

you can't agree or disagree
it's a fact

It's a fact that Sony and Nintendo have been douchebags for a while, and this generation, Microsoft has been less so. It's a fact I have 100s of games between game pass and games with gold, and the few that i actually bought (for a considerable discount as well). Just sayin' lol

How much are hackable PSPs going for these days? Oh and the semi-proprietary memory cards have long since ended production too.

Spoiler

I know this was a joke article

Got mine for $35 on ebay and an sd card adaptor for like $7 - waaaay cheaper than PS classic

Nice. I'm starting to miss my PSP now. Got lost and/or stolen years ago.

If you see something representing a far better deal, both monetarily and technically, the entire culture revolves around getting things for as little as possible and making people aware of things is not going to bother you (no limited supplies or anything) then surely it makes sense to mention it.

Interesting viewpoint.

(Mostly played FFVII on my -back-then-psp, but that was imperative, as I wanted to understand what Crisis Core will lead to.

Aside from GBA... which I prefer on the original and/or a hardware soc.. No interest in emulation for most part

I don't really get the whole retro hy- wait. what. GBA retro ?

Nice. I'm starting to miss my PSP now. Got lost and/or stolen years ago.

No need to.. Android phones can handle PSX too if need'be... Just get USB or BT gamepad and you're good to go.

 

[raxadian]

I have a hacked PSP200 but I haven't updated the hacked firmware in ages or even turned it on in like six years. The DS was always way more addictive for me.

 

[WildDog]

Well some people have money, so they don't care about using more money to buy a plastic shell with an Arm SOC that runs an open source emulator.
