Hacking buying a new psp.. should i get a 2000 or 3000? O_O

To be honest I suggest trying out a 2k and 3k and get what "feels better." Development of PRO has essentially meant the choice PSP model isn't much of a concern as it was two years ago.

hey guys, i appreciate all the help and advice. I was wondering if you guys could recommend me the best video player for the psp. obviously psp has its own video support, but im looking for a player that plays avis, mkv, etc etc. thanks in advance!!!(i figured i'd just ask here rather than start a new topic)

i got a 3000 and i run the 6.60 pro-b temp hack, it works great and i have no complaints about the software. the only issue i have is that the plastic d-pad is a bit squeaky. i've no idea if other psp versions are like this. the squeaky sound is like fingers on a chalk board to me, so i usually play with ear buds on that help avoid that sound.

PMPlayer Advance, but you're likely going to need to convert your videos anyways because the container format (AVI/MPG/MP4/MOV) is only part of the video's type.

• Container
  • Video Codec
    • Resolution
    • FPS
    • Bitrate
  • Audio Codec
    • Channels
    • Sampling Frequency
    • Bitrate

If any of those parts is "out of bounds" for a specific player, then the video file won't play on the player (or will play with a lot of issues if you try to use it in a video editor), even if it's of the correct container type. When you use a converter for a specific platform (such as for the PSP or DS or ipod) or to a specific format, it doesn't convert just the container, it formats every part of the video to certain specifications so it'll play properly, which is partially why it takes so long to convert.
