Today I’m starting a PSP Classic, Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade. This is one of the 3 games I picked up when I bought my PSP at launch (lemmy.world)

PPSSPP is truly a work of art.

What other games did you have?

I bought a PSP with the 1.5 firmware so that I could jailbreak it right away. I owned a few original games, but battery life was always way better without a spinning UMD

Outrun 2006 was always my favorite.

I had gta:liberty city stories and I think some racing game. I don’t remember that one. The PSP was short lived. My baby brother spilled water on it two weeks after I bought it.

I bought it at launch for $299 in early 00s money earned at my first full time job.

I was big time mad. I’ve been thinking of picking one up lately though.

I bought mine in 2nd grade with the money I saved up from some gifts I got. The only 2 games I had were NFS undercover and GTA liberty city stories. I could play them for hours over and over again.

Unfortunately mine got stolen

I resurrected my girlfriends PSP recently and really fun. I need to get liberty city stories and nfs again

I'm thinking of buying another one for my nephew for him to experience the same

That really sucks. I have a little brother who did similar things.

A PS Vita is backwards compatible with PSP games and is also easily jailbroken. I got one direct from a Japanese seller on eBay for under $100 (several years ago though).
