SHOW-OFF PSPs never age.

How can these products still hold their beauty till now?

I mean I'm not even exaggerating.

Even though they are small by today's standards, their ergonomic design makes them easier to play.

Do you guys actively enjoy playing them?

what i think is interesting is that, it never looked fututristic but it was ahead of its time.
very timeless design, impressive work by Sony.

Absolutely right. Maybe sony can no longer come up with a design that can at least match the psp.

I still use my PSP 2004 daily; it’s the best handheld console I own and the best option for the bus ride to work (I also have a Nintendo Switch).

Not only are they handy to carry around but also there are so many games to play.

I'm just wondering how long my PSPs can survive lol.

Not only did the hardware aesthetic age gracefully but also the software and games! + mods like the IPS screen and ports coming out breathes even more life into our beloved handheld.

Totally agree. Imagine yourself still playing on this handheld, say, in 2030. Just incredible.

Why does the 3000 look smaller than the 2000?

"Small by todays standards" is the reason its a good portable console.

Adulthood is different in mostly any regard that you imagined as a child, but one thing is true: You can get all the cool consoles that you wish you had.

I own 5 PSPs, 6 Gameboys, 3 Anbernic devices and a Switch Lite.

The switch lite is the one that I never used on the go even while I was still actively playing with it, but beside some silly stuff like the SEGA Game Gear every 90s and 2000s handheld is perfect to be used on the go.
