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

I also heard that USB 1.1 is slow, but it seems faster than the DVD drive, and that’s my only comparison point. I was going to get the memory card to SD card adapter since I’ve read is faster, but I don’t care honestly.

Yeah, I lost interest in newer NFS releases and mostly play rally and simracing titles, now. I forgot how fun Most Wanted was.

I just run most of the games from a USB stick. I would go with an HDD, I have dozens of ~250 GB laying around, but I don’t have the network/HDD expansion, YET

My first was Undercover on PSP, I played it for hours while waiting for my mom to pick me up from the school. Fun times

My dad told me that is the late 90s model. And Poland in the 90s was dirt poor, so it had to be very impressive back then.

We used it as the main TV till 2012 at least and it served as secondary for some more years after that.

That’s quite bad, on mine the second controller port doesn’t work. Fortunately the drive works fine.
