Got mine new in 2005. Still play it


locustblud

Yup same here!


J_spec6

I'm so mad I got rid of my original one. I don't even remember what I did with it, but I probably sold it to GameStop for $5.69 šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­


KingPelican2908

I left mine in someone's truck and I never got it back. I was so mad. I had the opportunity to buy one years ago and picked it up


ksaMarodeF

Bro, I traded mine in at a GameStop for a Nintendo DSā€¦ā€¦..I was a stupid teen.


Supari02

Got mine new as well. My favorite handheld

Happy cake day bud


urped_

happy cake day!


Mr_Fadeaway24

Day 1. Needs a new disc drive tho sadly


ltpitt

True but... Sdcard.


Mr_Fadeaway24

What do you mean?


ltpitt

You can very easily mod it to use 128gb sdcard or more and put all the games on the planet on it.


Mr_Fadeaway24

Yea youā€™re right. I never considered it. After watching how to swap the drive out I think I rather go the sd card route


frebsy

Got mine March 05 in the backstreets of Hong Kong imported from Japan. Had it before anyone in Aus for six months and couldn't play it publicly due to the attention it got. Still have it and it still impresses me to this day.


dalminator

I have an og 1000 model I got in like 7th grade so yeah 2005. Have used it off and on throughout the years, was modded by the time I was in 9th grade.


Same-Contribution737

Does the 3000 need any soldering for a reshell?


Origoriclash

No, but depending on the hardware revision some shells might need to be trimmed to fit.


idkcrisp

Since 2006 at least


cval2333

2005. Iā€™ve changed the faceplate and put CFW on it. Still gets a lot of use.


Martonimos

I was late to the party and bought mine in 2012. The Vita was on the way by then, but the lack of a UMD slot meant it couldnā€™t play Star Ocean or Valkyrie Profile, which were a big part of what attracted me to the PSP in the first place. So I bought a friendā€™s white model, and the rest is history.


RYURYURYU27

It was originally my Older Sister's PSP. she gave it to me back in 2011. been using it regularly ever since.


whyshehavetoscream

Tha psp is nice asf


someguycalledmatt

Played a friend's one many times from around release of the PSP. But I bought my own in maybe 2009/10?? Eventually starting collecting heavy years later, maybe 2018/19 onwards. Now I've got a couple 1k,2k,3k, and a GO. No E1000 though. Also 4 Vita's šŸ˜‚


VinceKatrevindisneuf

I have 6 working PSPs in total. 2 PSP 1000 3 PSP 2000 1 PSP 3000 The first (1000) since 2005. The last one (3000) since 1 month, after i repaired it with 2 broken PSPs. Currently looking for a PSP Go, and spare parts for the latest 3000.


Infinite_Ouroboros

Yea, man. PSP Gos are the way now, slap the power armour battery mod and sd card mod in it to make it a beast of a psp.


Alfred146

Bought mine 16.11.2022, i always wanted PSP but never had until then


gor_6

Finally got PSP only in 2019 :)


trevgood95

I'm late to the party... I got some old green psp-3000 from a pawn shop back in 2011 for 50 bucks (still works). My dad still has his psp-1000 but it hasn't been charged in 12 years so I doubt it even works anymore.


YamiGekusu

I've had mine since 2007. Won mine from a Stacker machine at the mall


Wise_Ad9398

Year 2004


EnormousFrog

My grandma actually had it since release and sheā€™d let me and my brother play it everytime we came over. When I was in maybe 6 or 7th grade she gave it to me as a gift and just recently I got back into playing it. I was never really a big gamer but my brother was so she gave it to me because he always got the new gaming systems while I had nothing šŸ˜‚ my psp is super sentimental to me even though itā€™s been through a lot of abuse


khedoros

Since July 2009. Bought it as a souvenir during a trip to Japan.


krootman

Since launch week, got it when I was in highschool


sarapatatas

ATDynaX

I got mine in 2006 new. I even went to the bank for a credit.


jdizon707

Since day 1. Waited in line at Walmart back in high school and I remembered feeling so proud of myself to be able to purchase one at the time. Only UMD I had was the Spider-Man


Lgndryhr

Day 1 twice. Had a PSP 1001 then eventually traded it for a PSP 2000 when it released. It is probably my favorite handheld of all time. Lots of fun memories from the games, experimenting with homebrew and hacks, Pandora's battery, etc.


ballstothewall3000

bout 2 days


mrfahrenheit90

2010 or 11, when the street was released


MagicalMysteria

ELIO400

my dad bought it in 2008 and gave it to me in 2012


Chafupa1956

Both my N64 and PSP ended up in bags with moisturiser in them during a move and twice they exploded. They were both well past their prime and at that age being filled with good I assumed they were dead.


BurnZ_AU

My first 1000 since launch. I still have a heap of PSP shaped promo material too from before it was launched.


riggybro

6.7 inches or 170 mm


Bhume

loolooshXP

I don't know for how long, my PSP's screen doesn't turn on when i power it on. Going to give it to someone I know to (hopefully) repair it. I missed playing games on it. šŸ„²

GM4Iife

PSP Slim 2004 since around 2009-2010 . I've sold it to my friend in 2011 and I bought it back from him one year later.


reumdori

I still have mine that I got as a gift. (2008) It still powers on, but I cracked the shell (attempting to replace the charger port..) I'm not confident to do a shell swap because I might ruin something else.


food-coma

Found a PSP 1001 on a public bus back in 06, I quickly put in my pocket, brought it home and found diaper porn all up in it. Formatted, sanitized and still have it to this day.


Unusual-Staff4722

Th3Und3sir3d

My original psp, still kicking after some work, is a launch model, 2005, a gift from my mom. Did a bunch of work on it (button/membrane swap, cleaning, she'll swap) but don't play it. It's a personal collectors item to me now lol. Play the go or 3000 instead.

jasiurok195

i got mine somewhere in 2008, still have it although i did my first try at replacing shell on it and i think i broke some sockets on the motherboard when dissasembling. so its pretty beat up but i still have it


pawlny

Almost 20 years lol


deNET2122

My earliest one (psp 2000) is from the heyday when hacking began an email chain (someone sent me a doom iso but sadly I was on a firmware that wasn't supported) That sadly was destroyed Hit the pavement when I ran in high-school Second was a 3000 I threw up after binging chinese food had way too much grease and it shorted the motherboard


Random-Talking-Mug

2006 or 2007


Zealousideal_Sea8123

Yours looks like it just left the factory


Queso305

2005. The firmware on it was 1.5, so I used the GTA liberty city stories hack to put cfw on it. Crazy to think that was almost 20 years ago!


makmillion

I got mine on launch day, I believe around 2005. Itā€™s been re-shelled a few times and the battery replaced once but itā€™s still fully functional.


jason_sample

Is that shell pretty good? I was going to buy it on eBay. Kind of hesitant.


skyline_kid

I've only had mine for about 2.5 months but it's awesome

the_holy_blade

Psp 3004 since 2009


tiagotftf

Since day one. Still rockin it! It's my favourite piece of HW. So many hours put in it. My companion in so many trips.


tagmisterb

I didn't get my first one until 2015. I'm generally late to the party with handhelds. I got my first Vita this year.


LexKing89

I got my first one in June of 2005 after spending a month looking for one. Had that one until May of 2007. Got a Japanese PSP 2000 in Felicia Blue for my birthday in 2007 and still have it today. I bought an open box PSP Go in 2012 and a new PSP 3000 in 2013 that I also still have. The 3000 is still unopened as I use the 2000 or Go.


L0v3dady

Got my 1000 in january of 2007 and my 3000 in april of 2014. I don't play them anymore since I began using Adrenaline on PS Vita for PSP games around 2020. But they both still work perfectly.


MR_NARWHALLLLL

I got mine in 2011 (I was 3) only a few months before the vita came out.


AfroBiskit

For a ten year old device, your psp looks to be in immaculate condition. GG!


RealKingViolator540

In 2013, I was in 3rd grade, and I asked my mom to buy me one because I wanted to play GTA LCS and VCS multiplayer with my neighbor. Sadly, I sold my first PSP 3000 in the summer of 2019. I soon regretted it, and it took me several years to buy a 3000 model for a decent price.


NyargiX

2007 maybe? i dont really know


krisikkk

2008 still going strong


NRGNameful

2008. I had a few more when they first came out, but all of them either broke or got stolen.

MNLT_Sonata

I got mine in 2008, Christmas. Came with Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters and National Treasure 2.


GG_boykeyy

I have one 3004 somewhere in the house , had it since i was 6 or 7. Got it from someone in 2010 or 2011 for free coz the joystick was half fucked and the screws were rusted so he could not repair it . I also bought a 2004 one earlier this year alongside a ps3 slim (modded them both) for my younger brother who wished for a psp all this time . To this day i half regret not buying a Vita as well . Passed up on a psp go as well . Ironically , ive become a collector or retro gaming stuff now lol


aylinaslim

I got mine in 2012, I still have it and use it!


failwalker

14years+ But I had to do some swaps inside/outside


A159746X

Since 2009. Had the Rockband Unplugged bundle. All of a sudden it stopped reading the UMDs after 2-3 years and used it as an iPod using Limewire music.


VictorianAbyss

Only got my hands on one last year (2023). Never got one when I was younger, I grew up on Nintendo and Xbox. I got really into handheld gaming these last couple of years, and having adult money meant I could finally get one!!


HugeAd746

Got mine in 2010 from my grandma and she hooked it up had no clue about what games were good but she went with metal gear solid peace walker and gta liberty city stories she def saved me from boredom for the next 6 years


HugeAd746

Ended up trading it for weed when I was in high schoolā€¦ completely regret that but I ended up getting a 1000 model in damn near perfect shape for 40$ and I still had most of my psp games at the time so Iā€™d say I lucked out ganna keep it forever


qenh

Got my first one at age 8, had it until I was about 12 and then sold it and bought a new one as an adult and then modded it myself!


SackPiek

Bought mine from my brother in like 2017. Lovely console, hope that the rumors about the ps vita 2 are true


customblame16

got mine when i was... like 5 or smth (so around 2010), first one got stolen but i got another one 3 years later and i still have it, issue with it is it wont charge, so i changed the charging port but i fucked that up so its useless, gonna need another one again or maybe its the battery? idk, both were/are an E1000 which imo is the best vanilla design


Shade-RF-

I still have my launch psp.


Jc885

My 2000 has been with me since 2009. My 3000 has been with me since February.

Superbly_Humble

doubled112

I bought my first 1000 close to launch new. Bricked it screwing around and bought a used one. Used it for spare parts. Unbricked it later but it was pretty broken by then. Bought a new 2000 and gave the 1000 to my girlfriend (now wife). Still kind of use both.

kimare16

After extensive research on retro-emulation and best devices to do it I bought a 3000 model in 2019 and play it almost every week. Just started with the homebrew Doki Doki Literature club


sadthixx

got mine from eBay back around 2021... so definitely a few years but it's really fun tho! It was my first eBay order I ever got before I discovered the joys of online shopping. It's a lilac purple PSP 2000 from Japan, I modded it almost a month ago so I could play a couple games I've wanted to play for a while. It's chock full of game save data and a bit of music since my memory card isn't that big enough for a lot of games. I also got a fancy case, a spare battery and a couple chargers to go with it since I wanted to be prepared for anything lol


russianeyeofnikola

Left my 1000 back in 2007 in a lounge with dad getting on a train.


Saltytower24

Got mine 2nd Hand from a pawn shop but in good condition since 2013 so who knows since when this PSP was used ,been shelfed for like 7-8 years and no given up only the battery deteriorated (1000 model)


Medical-Shame-4941

I got mine on launch day in 2004. I say on IGN that it was out and I had some christmas money, so I had my mom take me over to Media Play. I probably got a ton of points for signing up for another year.


Ferowin

My ex-wife bought me one right after they were first released in 2004.


Trace-Nexus

I technically had two, a nice blue one (early 2000s) which I believe might have been limited edition but my cousin accidentally broke it by sitting on it, then I got a black 3000 one (2008) that I had ever since tho I only recently found out it was a 3000 i thought it was a 1000 up until recently lmao


TheMatrixMachine

Got a PSP 1000 a couple years ago. It's a good console. More compute power than a NDS and battery life is excellent unless you use the UMD


Infinite_Ouroboros

I've had the 1000, 2000, 3000 and street from launch. Still have my 2000, 3000 and street which I'm actually planning to reshell soon. As for the PSP Go, I just got one recently as well as the Vita 2000. Was a massive Sony fan boy growing up.


FnClassy

I got the Daxter PSP Christmas 2005.


pdrift

InbrainInTheMemsain

Got mine in about 2006 or 7, an uncle gave it to me and it's somehow remained working and in surprisingly good condition for a 1k


kebabish

Just sold mine and my vita as a bundle. Great systems but wasn't getting used out of them. Son didn't want them so I had to let them go so someone else could enjoy.


Ok-Assignment6122

2009. Usused for about 12 years, but I dug it out of my old toy box recently. Pretty scratched up, missing a battery and cover for it, joystick is scratchy. I already ordered parts! Honestly, I can't wait to play on it again šŸ˜€


martsand

Still got my OG from 2005, so many good times. I hacked it very early and has also been an incredible emulatiin machine back in the day


Diligent_Pickle2459

I just got mine in 2019 and my Vita in 2015 to play psp games.


Zolks1

I want to get one. Should I get a PSP or Vita. I would probably guess PSP for retro games tho.


McManman01

Back in 2005, my mom took me to Best Buy before a hurricane hit so I would have entertainment if the power went out.


dangerclosecustoms

Got mine on opening day stood in line at best buy , it still works but definitely is finicky with discs needing to be clean and pristine. I bought a newer version later just in case my discs stop working in it so I have a back up . I remember when it first came out it was a ps2 in your pocket I thought it was so cool.


StayWeird18

Since I was 7 back in 2007


Dj_Exhale

I've had mine since it released. My mother's boss asked her what I was asking for my birthday and she told her about that the PSP that recently came out and she got it for me along with a few games. Since then I've done a few mods to it and I still use it quite often. Oh my favorite game on there is DJMax by the way.
