Review: PSP phat, excellence in all media - UPDATE - Bought in 2007, it is now 2010 and my PSP 1000 is still working great! While this machine is being phased out for the updated model, the PSP version 1 or 1000, or whatever it is being called, is an excellent device for multimedia. I have had mine for just about 4 months, and am very pleased with the way it can store music, photos, mpeg4 video, and even with a handy program I found on the net, I can take my dvd's that I have recorded and put scenes from them on my PSP. The latest firmware 3.71 allows videos to play sequentially without breaks between clips, which is a great feature. For a little handheld the sound is fine on the PSP even without the earbuds if you just want a little background music nearby. It truly is a wonderful device. The video picture quality is amazingly sharp. With many mp3 and video players, you hear of terrible horror stories, machines breaking after a couple months, or just not working right from the start. So far my PSP does everything that I want it to do, it has been a very reliable machine. The only time I had a problem was when I was saving a game, and I was falling asleep with it on my chest, and i sort of dropped it, Just a couple inches but it turned off and I lost the game save that I had been playing for a week. The PSP syncs to my win XP PC with no trouble at all. I have learned that you are not supposed to erase files that are in your PSP with your PC or the PSP may have a problem, so I have not done that. Copying files from the PC to the PSP is a snap. Just delete files through the PSP itself. Of course, the PSP does something no other machine can do which is play PSP games, and there are some great ones out now, and more on the way. One of these days I am looking forward to possibly downloading PS1 games to it, we'll see what happens there. As far as homebrew goes, I personally am just not interested. I do have a bunch of "official" demos on it that I downloaded from the web from reputable websites. Lately there has not been a whole lot of new demos, if a game is good I think the publishers should release a demo. I have never dropped the PSP on the floor. You should make sure you don't do that. Maybe it would break, maybe not, let's not find out. If you are travelling, keep the PSP in a case when not in use. I am very pleased with my purchase of the PSP. Review: PSP 1000 core review - Please note that this is a 1st generation PSP. I beleive the most current PSP is the PSP 3000. I purchased this brand new item because it is able to do one thing my PSP 2000 will not--format PhotoFast CR-5400 MS Pro Duo-->MicroSDHC Dual Slot Adapter cards PhotoFast CR-5400 MicroSD to MS Pro Duo Adapter Dual Slot . I did a firmware upgrade on my PSP 2000 a while back and Sony slipped a mickey in the software--it will still read these adapters, but will no longer format them. Dirty pool--Sony wants you to buy its overpriced Memory Stick Duo Pro memory cards! (Since writing this, I may have had a bad adapter card. I bought a new one and had no issues on my PSP 2000. Everything else applies to the PSP 1000. I still think its a gem) Nevertheless, if you find a good clean PSP 1000/1001, they are still very worthy devices. The screens are still terrific, and to be honest, they are made so much better than newer PSP models. Newer PSP's are very plasticy, inside and out (I guess I expect better from Sony), but the 1000's are almost all solid metal. I particularly appreciate the positive catch for the UMD drive. Sony put so much quality into the 1000's. It's a pity current generation PSP's aren't made so well. I would beware of any PSP that has been modded. While the modifications might work fine, you could wind up with a real headache--BEWARE! If you are a hard-core gamer, purchase the latest, greatest PSP (PSP 3000). I am told that some of the newer games may not run so good on the PSP 1000. Newer games may also require the advanced firmware, the increased system memory, and the faster processors the new ones have. The screens are slightly better on new ones too--but then, shouldn't they be? If you are a more casual PSP user like I am, and you use your PSP more for movies and playing your favorite MP3's, with an occasional jaunt on the internet using the built in Wi-Fi? You'll be very happy with the PSP 1000. It should provide you with years of reliable service--and it just feels good in your hands. As I say, it truly is sad Sony didn't put the same build quality into current generation PSP's. Perhaps next time. ## Features - You can play your PSP games, - watch movies in very good quality, listen to music, - take pictures (via additional camera), - Do anything and everything! It has the best of all worlds. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000F2DE8S | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,089 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #21 in Sony PSP Consoles #157 in Sony PSP Accessories | | Brand Name | PlayStation | | Color | PSP Core | | Connectivity Technology | wireless | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (978) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00711719850700 | | Input Device | Gamepad | | Item Weight | 4 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Sony Computer Entertainment | | Manufacturer Part Number | PSP-1001/ 98507 | | Memory Storage Capacity | 32 MB | | Model Name | PSP 1000 | | Model Number | 711719850700 | | Platform | Sony PSP | | Resolution | 480 x 272 | | UPC | 711719850700 | | Wireless Communication Technology | wireless | ## Images ![PlayStation Portable Core (PSP 1000) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7148H5czC1L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How to buy it right now?** A: You have to visit a Tibetan Monk on the 3rd week of every june for 4 years **Q: Can you browse the internet like you would on a tablet?** A: Not nessarly like a tablet but you could go on the internet via psp browser **Q: Does it have a camera ?** A: No but a camera attachment can be bought for this **Q: trae la microstik y de cuanto es la memoria solo por saver** A: Por lo general se compra por separado ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PSP phat, excellence in all media *by S***N on September 17, 2007* UPDATE - Bought in 2007, it is now 2010 and my PSP 1000 is still working great!

The screen has a good amount of scratches on it I can’t even lie that’s really the only reason this gets a 4 and not a 5 well that and 50% of the time when you turn it on the buttons don’t work. This console came modded with silent hill origins downloaded and with a 120gb sd card with a psp to sd adapter and even came with a clear protective case. I very much recommend this even though there are slight issues this is still the best deal around for a psp 1000 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1382621-playstation-portable-core-psp-1000](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1382621-playstation-portable-core-psp-1000) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
