It probably won't be easy, but see if you can find one with firmware version 1.5... why?

Well its what I have.. And I've got every single PSP game ever released in US, Japan, and Europe. I can play snes on my PSP... I can play arcade games, nes, megadrive, sega CD, GB, GBA, even N64 (N64 not very well, but in a few months a better emulator will be out). Theres countless applications you can download and use. Ranging from notepads to internet radio to apps that let you use your PSP as a remote for your TV... And a shitload more.

But thats firmware 1.5, which is very hackable. Later versions are kind of dissapointing... Although 3.0 is coming out soon which will have PSX games (that you have to pay for), GPS, Camera, Improved Flash support etc...

Basically, it's worth the money depending on what you want to do with it. If you've got enough money to buy a PSP you have a few options:

- Buy a PSP... Theres a shitload of good games for it, and even better games coming out this year. As well as all the other shit it can do.
- Buy a DS/DS Lite... If fun games and excellent gameplay is your thing, go for this instead of PSP.
- Buy a PS2... Its almost next gen so PS2 is cheap and its library of excellent games is unrivalled.
- Wait a while and buy a next generation console. PS3 will be expensive as fuck, but if you have the money then go for it. The Nintendo Wii wont be as expensive but will be a shitload of fun and well worth the money you pay for it and how much you will get out of it... Probably the truest "next generation" console.
