PSP 2000 for $125 - good deal?

[Atari Dogs]

I was at Best Buy today, and they had a PSP 2001 model for $125 out the door. Is that a good deal? I may get one of these and through emulators on it instead of getting a portable 2600 or seeing if someone can make me a portable 7800.

They only had one left, so I need to know soon.

Thanks.

yeah, i'd say thats a pretty good deal, because thats still what used psp 1000s are going for used at gamestop.

If it's new and in the box, I'd say grab it.

It is new in the box. What about hacking? I heard the 3000 is hard to hack and some newer 2000 are hard to hack.

Don't think you can hack 3000 yet, and 2000 cannot be hacked if it has a revision 3 motherboard, I think. There's a thread detailing how to hack these things.

I hacked mine before there even was a Pandora battery - that came around months later. Ah, the good old days of the .tiff exploit...

It says it is a psp 2001pb 98510. From what I read, that is fully hackable. Now I just need to figure out what I hack it into.

Hack it into any other Hacked PSP.
Run some Custom Firmware,
Get some Emulators and Homebrew
And your set for life.
Believe me, I have one, and all those old games will give you tons of Gameplay that you couldn't get with a regular PSP.

I just read another site that my PSP may not be hackable. I have not opened it yet, since I will return it if I cannot hack it.

The site said you could tell by the box serial number. My box serial number is AB024624220. The earlist price sticker on it was dated 2/24/2009. Any hopes this is still hackable?

I don't like slims because they are so hard to hack.
Go on Ebay and Buy you a PSP 1000.

I might be selling my psp soon if its of any interest(old, phat model), though it might just be local because it has like 10 games.

The ten games would be more than my budget right now. I can get a 2000 from a guy on craigslist with two games and the adapter that is a couple years old (will work for the hacking) or a 1000 from a guy with two games a card and the box and instructions.

Anyone get on the internet with their psp's when out? How much better does the 2000 do than the 1000? Any other major differences?

2000 just has more ram.
But I would go with a 1000 because It is WAAAYYY easier to act.

2000 has softer buttons and awesome DPAD.

Great for DJMAX.
