    Kinda obvious. Really expect a PS3 game to be the exact same on a PSP?

    Well, yeah. But I love me a good PS3 sitting, even better than a 360 sitting. :D

    No, I'm talking about features. For example all the PSP NFS ports lack different race modes. They didn't have drift, drag, or better car customizations. I'm not talking about visuals, I'm talking about game modes and the little options that are more than possible to implement, but the developers get lazy and leave them out. I've looked through the UMD ISOs, they're not even close to full capacity. Especially the EA games, where they put in 800 MB of empty pads so that the UMD can read better. It's incredibly annoying to know that you're getting cheated so much.

    Id go ahead and get a 3000, my niece got one and the scale lines was not bad at all. Plus the latter 2000 models are in the same boat as the 3000, so you mise as well go with the better system :p

    But then he can't hack it. Meaning he won't be able to watch Youtube (plus like 20 other sites), use instant messengers, play homebrew games and all that good stuff.

    ok super news! my old fat psp now charges i messed with it a little and figured out that it just needed a little moving around. So now I'm thinking that i will hack the fat psp and get either a new psp 2000 or 3000. So now its two questions. I don't feel like messing around with my battery to turn it pandora so I'm wondering if anyne knows a good site to get one. And now i need to know what is better the 2000s or the 3000s thanks again. I think this will be cooler because now ill have a psp that if it breaks i could care less and a new shiny one to play all my fun games!

    Ok, here's a couple of things you should know first.

    1) Only PSP-1000 (old one) batteries can be used as Pandora batteries.
    2) You need a homebrewed PSP to make the Pandora battery and the magic memory stick.
    3) Pandora batteries are f***ing expensive to get, they're like 40-50 bucks because the battery costs 40 bucks to begin with.
    4) There used to be free-Pandora downgrade services, don't know if there's that many around anymore. Look for them on either QJ.net forums or Maxconsole forums.

    And oh yeah, only 2000 is hackable. 3000 hasn't been cracked yet, although Dark_AleX may be close.

    Make sure those are legit though, some of 'em are fake (fake batteries can't be used as Pandora batteries). I find it hard to believe that anybody would sell something worth $40 MSRP with a special feature for less than the stock battery.
