if ur planning to do howebrew on the slim or fat, i would get fat, ok yeah good ok homebrew apps for slim, but phat can run a app called " IR Shell" which slim cant, maybe it can i dunno but if it does run on slim, its sucks..
on the other hand, if u wanna be a normal psp user, get a psp slim..
Most of the popular homebrew has already been ported to the 3.xx kernel, and what are you talking about? iR Shell works perfectly fine on the slim, in fact, I'm using it right now on my own slim
But yeah, there's still some older 1.50 homebrew that won't work on the slim. The phat has a 1.50 kernel addon which allows it to run 1.50 homebrew. Unfortunately this addon doesn't work on the slim. You can use 'TimeMachine' to run these homebrew, though. But it's a bit tedious, you have to reboot the PSP every time to use different firmwares.

So for the Phat battery in a PSP slim, how does that work? Do I have to modify it in any way? Or can I just regularly put it in? I would love aPSP that lasts 9 hours long.
You can just put it in, you should note one thing though. You can't use the original battery cover when using the phat battery (it's larger), however, there are third-party (and official?) battery covers available that fix this problem.

And what's this about PSP 3000? How much more can they improve upon the PSP? I don't know if I should go for PSP 3000 though because the new motherboard MAY stop the pirated games I plan to play. But who knows. I don't even know when I'm getting a PSP because I need to get a summer job first.
I think the PSP-3000 is still a rumour, correct me if I'm wrong though. They could add bluetooth and some other stuff, I honestly don't know. About the thing getting hacked: the PSP-2000 got hacked before it officially got released. So, who knows?

Edit: And I know that PSPs can play PS1 games too. I wonder how does it play PS1 games without the L2 or R2 button though. Some games from PS1 require using those buttons.
