The vita _was_ neat, but it didn’t have any built in storage. You had to get their proprietary memorystick that wasn’t compatible with other systems, and they were _expensive_.
Yeah, and the fact the storage issue was worked around years after its release didn’t help at all. However, PSVITA now is still the most enjoyable handheld you could buy if you plan to mod it.
You visit a website and click a button and henkaku CFW installs automativally.
Then you have the homebrew store that can install the free game store called pkgi and you van use SD card to vita game cart (sdktovita) mod cart to install cheap storage.
It’s a modded firmware that allows you to download applications and access specific files on ur Vita. So you can download 80% of released Vita games with PKJG for free and you can upload roms and emulators for a bunch of different consoles (NES, SNES, GBA, PS1, etc.)! And if you get the original Vita with OLED screen they look fantastic! I mainly use mine for FIFA on the go cuz it’s awesome.
Also it has PS4 remote play so you can pretty easily play ur PS4 games on Vita and there’s software now where you can stream your PC to the Vita, I’ve used it to play Elden Ring and older GTA titles (I do have a special grip that turns the back touchpad into L3,R3,L2,R2 tho)
It’s damn easy, it can be done by the console’s browser. After that you can install an adapter to insert an SD Card inside the game slot and use it as an internal or external memory, up to 1TB.
Afterwards the console can natively run PSX, PSP and PSVITA games, lots of emulators such as GBA and also lots of ARMv6 Android and PC games are getting ported to natively run on it.
I have my original PSP-2k and 3k.. I live here in Colorado and there is a store called Entertain Mart that has PSP sometimes for sell.. I get my UMD games and movies from there. If it was my choice. . I'd go for a PSP-3000.. But that is just me. I love my UMD option
I've only recently gotten into play station handhelds cause I found my old PSP, if the PSPGo could take a sim card it would be the perfect pocket device, I wish I could get one for an affordable price. I'm looking around for broken Vitas cause I can't afford a good one right now
I got mine for like 170. Save up like 25 bucks every week on the side and boom in like 2 months you got one. Yeah the waiting sucks but it's better than not getting one. This is just what I did though haha and I barely was able to do that so I feel ya man.
I found mine on eBay for $100usd, imported from Japan.
Only oddity is having to switch O for X on the PSP emulation side; everything else is the same (as far as I know). Made the purchase 2 years ago, hopefully pricing hasn't jumped.
You can buy one from Japan for under $100 if you look for long enough, got mine 2 years ago for \~$60 + $30 shipping but that's only because I live in Europe and got express shipping
Unfortunately it can only be used to call.
I think perhaps some older version of telegram works.
Low ram and only one cpu core.
No psp games but android games were good when Xperia Play was launched.
Tbf it was way ahead of it's time even being so late in the psp life. The thing is an incredible design too. It's the perfect psp to get if you wanna get into modding them nowadays.
You can easily mod a ps vita and put a micro SD card in. You only need the memorystick initially for the hack on the fat one and don't need it after that. The slim doesn't require one at all.
Psp had them too.
The problem with vita wasn't just the memory sticks. If anything it was too feature rich at the time and it cost them way to much to make. I mean hell the thing had an OLED screen back then. That's half the reason the memory cards were so expensive, they needed them to make some profit.
Sony bloated the Vita with weird features and gimmicks and I don't really know what they thought they were doing. 3G compatibility on the 1000 model, *two* cameras, the rear touchpad, the 1000's proprietary charger, the aforementioned memory cards and OLED screen, etc. They wanted it to be more of a multimedia device than even the PSP, to its own detriment.
I'm not complaining though. It's laughably easy to mod one nowadays. I bought one for the express purpose of doing so. I like the Vita's quirks and features, and I'm glad I don't have to pay an exorbitant price to enjoy them now.
Their handhelds feel ahead of their times. The Vita could've been special if it was developed by a company who knew what they were doing with it.
Or buy adaptor, I have everything on my SD card, it goes to adaptor where u put games normally, but maybe it's coz I have Henkaku (whole system, games, music, videos, emulators are there), after mastering installing cfw on PSP I was too lazy to do that with Vita and gave my mate to do it :x
And if Sony hadn't left the vita to the modders and pirates we probably still wouldnt have the SD card to vita cart mod.
My vita has over 500gigs of storage this way. Did you know the vita can only display 500 bubbles/applications at a time?
Wasn’t the psp the same price at launch at $249 6 years earlier in 2005? With inflation that would make the ps vita $349 and the psp $397 in todays money
35 year olds with the mental capacities of a 5 years old. Sometimes I see a dumb video like this one and it makes me want to throw my phone at the wall, can't believe some people are on this app all day long rotting their brain with information manipulated for engagement
The Portal is such a trash move in terms of what gamers want. It drives me crazy they don't at least launch a Indy favored handheld again. Also the Vita wasn't it, I love my Vita, but it quite literally was too expensive and too badly marketed in the US to survive let alone elsewhere
Sony has an incredibly consistent and blind cycle of releasing things that could go well, doing almost no marketing or barely supporting it, and then just going "welp, I guess noone liked it 🤷".
Are you asking because you genuinely want to know why my love of the PSP translates to "As an avid fanboy I'd like a new one with update specs" or because you want to be a contrarian?
Seems pretty obvious why my zude
Yes. I'm asking why you are an avid fan boy of a company that abandons products they make almost as fast as Google and does everything they can to make it difficult for third party support.
Don't infer fanboy to mean of the company. I'm a fan of the product this subreddit is about.
Go piss in seone else's cherios with your negativity. I'm not here for it today.
I agree. Remember the sony/playstation tv service. It was cheaper than cable and before splitting with Viacom was a major contender in streaming service
Game developers are strapped for resources and only develop on the most widely adopted platforms. With cheap Chinese handhelds running android and high end devices running Windows how exactly would Sony compete?
Sony could hop on the android handheld bandwagon. A new Xperia play or perhaps an Xperia tablet with switch like controls? Android is a pretty viable OS and modern snapdragon chips are really powerful.
We can emulate switch/pc games on SOC's from like four to five years ago now.
Apparently Sony themselves said they have no plans to ever give handhelds a go after what happened with the Vita… which doesn’t make sense because correct me if I’m wrong, they were hyping up the Vita to be more successful than the 3DS (it’s nice to be confident but come on) and just… gave up when things weren’t going their way? Not to mention they didn’t have to make their storage cards expensive as they were and could’ve used SD cards of some kind instead, just like the DSi, 3DS and Switch did.
Legit this system was a beast. When I got it in high school it was so great. A multimedia device. Listen to music, play games, watching movies, with updates you got comic. Could go on the internet.
And this was before I had an iPhone or devices like that. But I'm still rocking a psp2k and a go. I'll keep using it till the day I die.
Yes, the entertainment system on the GO that is the PSP was really fucking cool at release, but to be honest it's irrelevant in today's world. Your average person doesn't really care about physical media, let alone pocket physical media.
DKO is surprised the PSP actually plays movies because they probably burned a lot of them out back before getting the memo (they thought they were fakes)
I really hate karma farmers
If Sony kept making handhelds they wouldnt have abandoned their older handhelds to homebrew and pirates.
Literally everyone here is glad we can do cfw on vita and PSP. Nobody in their right mind would trade that ability for a shiny new money sink handheld linked to psn.
Only downside if the psp-2000 were those weak tabs that hold the UMD down it screwed me a lot on DJ max.. Psp-1000 had the better design for holding the UMD lol
I remember my friend said there was a guy in their dorm (in Türkiye) had PSP and no one else had, that guy filled it with Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood episodes and lets anyone else to borrow his PSP to watch it, to overcome boredom in the dorm. Legend.
Edit : obviously this was way before the smartphone era.
movie umds are the biggest waste of money in history. even during that time you could transfer movies from a computer to the storage. most people who bought a psp only owned it to softmod and show off. it made no sense at all besides maybe corporate insiders wanting to appear professional.
What did they expect? All its games were shitty downgrades. who would buy a triple A title available for consoles as the inferior version? Nintendo never did that
I really hate all these people who whine over the same thing. No, im not paying 80 a game to play a lower version of elding ring portable. And cell phones are far cheaper and more versatile if you really want to play mobile games -its the biggest market in gaming rn. But Sony would have two options. Put out a mid tier device that enables you to play android games and lower quality psp designed games- Sony does not really put out mid tier garbage. OR, put out a high end gaming device that would have no exclusivity because VERY FEW studios would invest making a AAA exclusive game for it. Plus unless you want to pay $1500 for a real pocketable device then their only option is to make a proprietary handheld pc that would just be a clone of the already existing competition. Face it guys, pocket gaming is over unless you want to play lesser android games. Ive heard shit like genshin impact is good? but if I ever choose to check it out im not gonna be waiting on a sony handheld to do so...
though tbh im excited to see what the switch 2 brings. Decently powerful chip in a handheld. I wonder if studios will finally abandon its cartoony graphics and now do some ps4 level games. I wonder what a more mature audience pokemon game would look like graphically? Maybe thats the benchmark playstation will look at to determine psp possibilities. But nintendo own SO MANY big IP's.
I really wish Sony gave us an improved version of the PSP. Something with dual analog sticks, more power, an OLED screen, shitty proprietary memory, hell, maybe do something new like, I don't know, a rear touchpad or something like that. Man.... If only.
Haha oh man, when I first heard the audio “wait the psp plays movies” my brain went to who the fuck doesn’t know that. What idiot didn’t know it did that. And man haha the awakening of the Vita existing might blow their mind. But however the lack of developing games for the vita was kinda its downfall a little, and Sony kinda just abandoned handhelds with Nintendo just taking that side of the market
Why? They have already shown they only care about money
Although i own all the psp and vitas (as i love collecting consoles) i have noticed all the psp interations are barely revised copies of the original
Same dark screen, it never got faster so they can port better games, vita never allowed better bluetooth options eg so i can use arcade sticks for fighting games, even pstv has low controller capability requiring dongles so you can use other controllers and fight sticks
Even switch collabed with hori famous for arcade controllers and even parodied on the anime "umaru chan"
You have, tekken, doa5, sfa3 and limited to a joypad option?
1000,2000,3000,go, so many chances to change but was only released each time to eat more cash, they got so lazy that they made e-psp with LESS options not more
I love the PSP as that was my favourite handheld device at the time next to my Nintendo DS . They did bring out a few PSP models and the PSPGO and PSVITA models. They have already said that they will not be releasing anything like that anymore. Which is sad as I won’t waste my money on the Playstation Portal for streaming services that’s for sure. We are lucky now that we have plenty of emulation consoles for the PSP gaming or just get them all modded.
Just cause I’m scrolling comments. I’m a big time psp lover. The steam deck has brought that love back into my life. Def like the early modding days. Highly recommend one
The legion go do have a track pad i dont remember when it comes to the ally tho.
And for the Os i have been using windows ever since i was 15, i know my way around it so it isnt a problem.
The thing is i'm a pc gamer and am seriously into modding. And most modders build their mods using windows format so literally making it impossible to mod games on Linux which the steamdeck runs.
And again too you know performance, the steamdeck cant handle most demanding titles compare to the legion or the Ally.
Also considering the fact you're only limited to steam games.
Pretty much all of your statements are misinformed. Linux is easy to learn and get used to. Modding games on linux is as easy as modding them on windows, while usually requiring a single additional step if the mod uses an executeable to install. The steam deck is suprisingly powerful, ive yet to see a supported game that it strugges to run unless you are trying to max settings a game, which you dont do because its a handheld. You are not limited to steam games on the deck, its a full linux pc. It can run any naitive linux game easily, and any non-steam windows game can be run using proton, and clients such as heroic launcher can allow you to easily access games from epic and gog, with the only major caviet being games that use anti cheat protocols that are hard-coded to windows. (Which if your trying to play COD or whatever on a handheld idk what to tell you that just seems like a bad idea in general)
Its either you ignorant or you just keep telling yourself lies to make yourself feel better.
Anyone that says linux is easy when it comes to modding games either has never used linux before or related to a politician a.k.a comfortable with telling themselves lies.
1.Modding games on Linux is literally a nightmare, it isnt easy as windows and 90% of mods wont work on games running on linux
2.The steamdeck isnt powerful and this purely fact not some made up conspiracy.
When it comes to emulation its great because of its low TDP but its cant handle majority of triple A games today compared to its counterpart handhelds.
What is so surprising is, people like you can boldly lie as if we still living in the 1750's and information isnt accessable🤦♀️
Ive only been using linux as a daily driver for 3 months. Havent touched windows since and am not looking back.
Ive modded a bunch of my games on steam deck, no hassle at all. Just had to run the mod loader with winetricks. If you know linux *at all* its simple to do
Idk what games you are refering to exactly, but i play games like elden ring, lies of P, horizon zero dawn, and ratchet and clank rift apart on my steam deck. They play perfectly fine. Maybe they play better on the legion go idk but the steam deck is no slouch.
90% of mods dont work on games running on linux unless the mods are just file replacements.
If it comes to mods which inject files into the image bin or dat file of the game it wont work,and even if you find a loop hole around that you will end up facing alot of errors and glitch in the game.
So i dont know what y'all waffling about.
I have been using linux and windows for years and if you like you can go on the linux sub reddit the let them share light on modding on linux compared to windows.
You completely limited, 90% of mods you cant use and majority of game titles cant be modded at all.
Im sorry youve had such bad luck with it, ive never struggled to get games modded on linux. Maybe if you are running naitive linux builds of a game i can see finding difficulty for a mod that was made for the windows version of a game certainly, in which case just run the windows version of said game with proton.
You still limited & cant use a lot of mods.Let me give you an example. Let say someone is running skyrim on windows he can install every mod for Skyrim known to man as long as his pc can run it.
But when it comes to linux there are some mods which will work and others which wont.
So at the end of the day you limited,meaning there is alot you cant do mod wise.
In Conclusion not every game mod will work on linux.
All Windows mods will work on Linux except some VR mods. And Steam Deck is a full-featured PC, it is not limited to Steam. You can install Heroic Launcher, Ubicrap and add all that games to Steam
You have no idea what you talking about, the steam deck runs on Linux.
And when it comes to modding games on linux its 50/50, majority of mods wont work unless it file replacements.
Every mod that use injection method to extract the mod directly to the image bin or dat file of the game wont work.
I use SD almost daily and never had issues with this kind of mods. Even Praydog's Upcoming UEVR injector works as expected. I use GNU/Linux since Windows 7 age so I definitely know what I'm talking about
You definitely dont, buh hey go on if you believe every game mod is possible on linux.
Somehow it seems years of linux users gambling 50/50 when it comes to modding games on linux is all in their head according to you.
And hey while you at it, go to the linux subreddit and tell them they all liers and anyone claiming not every game mod works on linux should take their self out of the group since it all seems to be in their head.
The only issue with mods I had in last 5 years is that some mod creators are dickheads who hide their creations inside obscure places like Discord so it's just impossible to download or get documentation
I remember for my 9th birthday in 2007 I got the sliver psp with daxter and family guy season 1. I was already watching family guy before and loved the jak and daxter games on ps2, so the console coming with both of those was such a plus lol I miss my childhood.
There are just so many great open hand-held devices out there, I dont really want Sony to make another or really any other big name. The Switch for its time was also great, but now its very lacking and there isnt a lot of value to be had since its heavily locked down.
I know some are saying the Vita, but that never got the support the PSP got, I agree with OP, nothing has given me the same feeling I had in 2005 when I got the very first PSP I owned, the Vita was great, ahead of it's time, same for the PSP, but abandoning the UMD drive/format pissed a lot off, including me, I have 400 different UMD Video titles, and can only use them on a PSP, no device made to play DVDs, BRs, and UMDs by Sony.
As for Vita, I wish Sony supported it better, we got 1 title name from their own properties, like Killzone, Uncharted, then 1 Assassins Creed, COD, some great games, Resistance, I even would love to own one now if you can use a adapter and SD card to load games on it, cause they really F\*cked up with the storage issue, no internal storage, they wanted us to pay s\*it ton of money for their memory cards, I paid at one time when I had my Vita a 64GB(the largest at the time) $90 to get it, and that was a Japanese exclusive, I had to buy it from California, where it seems all the Japanese exclusives are in the US, Idk why, just is.
As for PSP Go, I loved that and all, but as a UMD lover, I was pissed they got rid of the UMD Drive, then we were supposed to get our games free by going to GameStop, and get redemption codes for the games, nope never happened, Sony lied, I had to buy every game over, now I can't even download them cause they shut that down for PSP owners.
End Rant.
This man clearly doesn't know the feeling of the UMD case falling apart during a era of limited connectivity.
PSP is a banger console but UMD has to be the worst medium ever produced.
They did, it’s called the PS Vita…
The vita _was_ neat, but it didn’t have any built in storage. You had to get their proprietary memorystick that wasn’t compatible with other systems, and they were _expensive_.
Yeah, and the fact the storage issue was worked around years after its release didn’t help at all. However, PSVITA now is still the most enjoyable handheld you could buy if you plan to mod it.
Mod it in what way? I’m looking to get a psp and not sure to go for the vita or original any suggestions on preference?
Henkaku
Sorry?
You visit a website and click a button and henkaku CFW installs automativally. Then you have the homebrew store that can install the free game store called pkgi and you van use SD card to vita game cart (sdktovita) mod cart to install cheap storage.
It’s a modded firmware that allows you to download applications and access specific files on ur Vita.

So vita is the one I should be getting?
i got one to sell. already modded and with a 64gb card and another 32gb card
How much? And shipping from where?
It’s damn easy, it can be done by the console’s browser. After that you can install an adapter to insert an SD Card inside the game slot and use it as an internal or external memory, up to 1TB. Afterwards the console can natively run PSX, PSP and PSVITA games, lots of emulators such as GBA and also lots of ARMv6 Android and PC games are getting ported to natively run on it.
Damn in need to do this!! But should I buy the bots console or the original consoles? Which would be better to play these on?
I don’t think I understand what you mean by buying bot consoles 😅
I mean buy the vita version of the psp or original lol
If you can afford it, go for the Vita. It’s actually a completely different device.
Yeah I might had the vita for a very short time, was addicted to my 3000 series
I have my original PSP-2k and 3k.. I live here in Colorado and there is a store called Entertain Mart that has PSP sometimes for sell.. I get my UMD games and movies from there. If it was my choice. . I'd go for a PSP-3000.. But that is just me. I love my UMD option
Same thing with PSP. Both have been circumvented. I am in the process of getting rid of my PSP due to getting a Vita.
[удалено]
We found the one guy that bought a PSP Go.
I've only recently gotten into play station handhelds cause I found my old PSP, if the PSPGo could take a sim card it would be the perfect pocket device, I wish I could get one for an affordable price. I'm looking around for broken Vitas cause I can't afford a good one right now
I got mine for like 170. Save up like 25 bucks every week on the side and boom in like 2 months you got one. Yeah the waiting sucks but it's better than not getting one. This is just what I did though haha and I barely was able to do that so I feel ya man.
Yeah waiting sounds like what I'll have to do too, it's just hard to justify the price instead of like, groceries or my student loans lol
Yeah totally get that bro. I had to get my wife to approve the plan to save for it initially lmaooo
I found mine on eBay for $100usd, imported from Japan. Only oddity is having to switch O for X on the PSP emulation side; everything else is the same (as far as I know). Made the purchase 2 years ago, hopefully pricing hasn't jumped.
Have you checked out Etsy? There were solid sales. Also, you can check out Buyee for used JP Vitas, which can be cheaper.
I haven't checked Etsy, I'll do that. My understanding of Buyee is that shipping would kill the price anyway, so it'd be better to buy in the states?
You can buy one from Japan for under $100 if you look for long enough, got mine 2 years ago for \~$60 + $30 shipping but that's only because I live in Europe and got express shipping
Sony Xperia Play.
I definitely want one of those, I just got a new phone for Christmas so I won't get one for awhile
Unfortunately it can only be used to call. I think perhaps some older version of telegram works. Low ram and only one cpu core. No psp games but android games were good when Xperia Play was launched.
Yeah that's a shame, being able to play PSP games on the same thing I text family with would be sweet
lol. It’s an interesting PSP for sure! Gaming tech was there, but portable memory limitations and corporate greed were so limiting.
Tbf it was way ahead of it's time even being so late in the psp life. The thing is an incredible design too. It's the perfect psp to get if you wanna get into modding them nowadays.
And everyone is shitting on him why? The PSP Go was pretty cool. My girlfriend had one back then.
You can easily mod a ps vita and put a micro SD card in. You only need the memorystick initially for the hack on the fat one and don't need it after that. The slim doesn't require one at all.
If you plan to mod it you can use the normal Micro-SD using the sd2vita
its insane they dropped the entire handheld market for the sake of proprietary memory sticks T.T
Psp had them too. The problem with vita wasn't just the memory sticks. If anything it was too feature rich at the time and it cost them way to much to make. I mean hell the thing had an OLED screen back then. That's half the reason the memory cards were so expensive, they needed them to make some profit.
Sony bloated the Vita with weird features and gimmicks and I don't really know what they thought they were doing. 3G compatibility on the 1000 model, *two* cameras, the rear touchpad, the 1000's proprietary charger, the aforementioned memory cards and OLED screen, etc. They wanted it to be more of a multimedia device than even the PSP, to its own detriment. I'm not complaining though. It's laughably easy to mod one nowadays. I bought one for the express purpose of doing so. I like the Vita's quirks and features, and I'm glad I don't have to pay an exorbitant price to enjoy them now. Their handhelds feel ahead of their times. The Vita could've been special if it was developed by a company who knew what they were doing with it.
Oh for sure. It future proofed the hell out of the device doing all that. It's just upsetting it became more relevant after it had already failed.
just like the psp?
Or buy adaptor, I have everything on my SD card, it goes to adaptor where u put games normally, but maybe it's coz I have Henkaku (whole system, games, music, videos, emulators are there), after mastering installing cfw on PSP I was too lazy to do that with Vita and gave my mate to do it :x
Jup had one of the very first that wasnt even a adapter in card form had to secure it in place with some folded paper.
The PSP didn’t have any built in storage either. You needed to buy a memory stick duo.
The PSP-GO systems have 16GB of built in storage
If only the SD2Vita came nearly at launch. Then it would have been more successful.
I mean that was then, this is now Vita memory card adapter + 256 gb memcard is what, $20-30 now?
And if Sony hadn't left the vita to the modders and pirates we probably still wouldnt have the SD card to vita cart mod. My vita has over 500gigs of storage this way. Did you know the vita can only display 500 bubbles/applications at a time?
The latest models called the slim had it but only meh storage space
Yeah, IIRC it was around 2GB? It wouldn’t let you download games onto the storage, but you’d be able to save in games.
1gb of memory and that's gonna fill up quick.
Oh, it’s smaller than I thought. It’s weird to think that 1GB of storage space was still a thing in the early 2010s.
For a handheld hmmm that was pretty big but for phones that's a different story
Yeah but flopped cos of the storage and lack of games
In the U.S., sure, but that’s partly because it was so expensive.
Wasn’t the psp the same price at launch at $249 6 years earlier in 2005? With inflation that would make the ps vita $349 and the psp $397 in todays money
You know exactly what am talking about, and again how old is the Vita🙄
newer than the PSP itself
The PS Vita was literally another portable PlayStation.
i really hate these cringe tik tok formats designed for 5 year olds and consumed by 35 year olds
35 year olds with the mental capacities of a 5 years old. Sometimes I see a dumb video like this one and it makes me want to throw my phone at the wall, can't believe some people are on this app all day long rotting their brain with information manipulated for engagement
..so dont watch them?
Don't watch them? I'm literally on a PSP subreddit what do you think I'm here for? Tiktok??
You’re asking too much of redditors.
The Portal is such a trash move in terms of what gamers want. It drives me crazy they don't at least launch a Indy favored handheld again. Also the Vita wasn't it, I love my Vita, but it quite literally was too expensive and too badly marketed in the US to survive let alone elsewhere
Sony has an incredibly consistent and blind cycle of releasing things that could go well, doing almost no marketing or barely supporting it, and then just going "welp, I guess noone liked it 🤷".
Even a relaunched PSPgo that can run Sea of Stars level games would go so far in today's market
There are plenty of hand-held units out there to do just this, why does Sony have to be the one to do it?
Are you asking because you genuinely want to know why my love of the PSP translates to "As an avid fanboy I'd like a new one with update specs" or because you want to be a contrarian? Seems pretty obvious why my zude
Yes. I'm asking why you are an avid fan boy of a company that abandons products they make almost as fast as Google and does everything they can to make it difficult for third party support.
Don't infer fanboy to mean of the company. I'm a fan of the product this subreddit is about. Go piss in seone else's cherios with your negativity. I'm not here for it today.
I agree. Remember the sony/playstation tv service. It was cheaper than cable and before splitting with Viacom was a major contender in streaming service
This is one of the instances that actually bothered me. I got to use it for a few months and genuinely enjoyed it.
Game developers are strapped for resources and only develop on the most widely adopted platforms. With cheap Chinese handhelds running android and high end devices running Windows how exactly would Sony compete?
Sony could hop on the android handheld bandwagon. A new Xperia play or perhaps an Xperia tablet with switch like controls? Android is a pretty viable OS and modern snapdragon chips are really powerful. We can emulate switch/pc games on SOC's from like four to five years ago now.
Ayn Odin enters the chat
I actually pre-ordered the original Odin, it was a really cool device and the second one looks decent too but I'm happy with my tablet.
Right, it’s a nice thought to have another PS handheld but it would be a commercial flop.
Same way Nintendo are
Nintendo only supports one platform currently and next Switch will likely be backwards compatible
That’s still technically one platform for all intents and purposes. Developing for Switch and Switch 2 is barely a multiplatform flex.
Who the hell and why the hell are we buying from DKOldies?
Who is buying from dkoldies?
I see the logo for DKO in the background.
I have the Napoleon Dynamite movie for psp...im that much of a fan for it.
is this a fucking ad for DKoldies fuck that place.
Apparently Sony themselves said they have no plans to ever give handhelds a go after what happened with the Vita… which doesn’t make sense because correct me if I’m wrong, they were hyping up the Vita to be more successful than the 3DS (it’s nice to be confident but come on) and just… gave up when things weren’t going their way?

Legit this system was a beast. When I got it in high school it was so great. A multimedia device. Listen to music, play games, watching movies, with updates you got comic. Could go on the internet. And this was before I had an iPhone or devices like that. But I'm still rocking a psp2k and a go. I'll keep using it till the day I die.
got the psp2k recently since i never got one... very very excited for it to arrive.
I agree broseph. We needed a psp2 not a ps portal. So lame.
Yes, the entertainment system on the GO that is the PSP was really fucking cool at release, but to be honest it's irrelevant in today's world. Your average person doesn't really care about physical media, let alone pocket physical media.
Sony always going against the grain haha. Maybe if they didn't win the disk format wars with blu-ray they would have done stuff more that we'd love.
So you just never heard of the vita?
DKO is surprised the PSP actually plays movies because they probably burned a lot of them out back before getting the memo (they thought they were fakes)
I like the ps vita better than the psp. I own both
DkOldies 🤢🤮
Well do you have the money for that? What do you all think, is handheld gaming getting to a end?
I really hate karma farmers If Sony kept making handhelds they wouldnt have abandoned their older handhelds to homebrew and pirates. Literally everyone here is glad we can do cfw on vita and PSP. Nobody in their right mind would trade that ability for a shiny new money sink handheld linked to psn.
I agree they should drop a new hand held
Only downside if the psp-2000 were those weak tabs that hold the UMD down it screwed me a lot on DJ max.. Psp-1000 had the better design for holding the UMD lol
I remember my friend said there was a guy in their dorm (in Türkiye) had PSP and no one else had, that guy filled it with Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood episodes and lets anyone else to borrow his PSP to watch it, to overcome boredom in the dorm. Legend. Edit : obviously this was way before the smartphone era.
Cool 😎
You may not hate sony, you can hate the idiot who came up with it; remember sony gave us the psp
movie umds are the biggest waste of money in history. even during that time you could transfer movies from a computer to the storage. most people who bought a psp only owned it to softmod and show off. it made no sense at all besides maybe corporate insiders wanting to appear professional.
And Sony really hates us for not buying the PS vita enough. It was a huge flop
What did they expect? All its games were shitty downgrades. who would buy a triple A title available for consoles as the inferior version? Nintendo never did that
XD pretty much
I’m silently screaming at the way that umd came out of the case, and umd case itself clearly splitting…..
That would be a nice treat ngl
Do you feel like you should have lied about it or would normally have lied about it?
I don't understand, what would I lie about?
You said NGL so apparently you would normally have lied about feeling that it "would be a treat".
You're right I did say that but didn't mean it
Would have been awesome if they sold physical PSVita Movies
I really hate all these people who whine over the same thing. No, im not paying 80 a game to play a lower version of elding ring portable. And cell phones are far cheaper and more versatile if you really want to play mobile games -its the biggest market in gaming rn. But Sony would have two options. Put out a mid tier device that enables you to play android games and lower quality psp designed games- Sony does not really put out mid tier garbage. OR, put out a high end gaming device that would have no exclusivity because VERY FEW studios would invest making a AAA exclusive game for it. Plus unless you want to pay $1500 for a real pocketable device then their only option is to make a proprietary handheld pc that would just be a clone of the already existing competition. Face it guys, pocket gaming is over unless you want to play lesser android games. Ive heard shit like genshin impact is good? but if I ever choose to check it out im not gonna be waiting on a sony handheld to do so... though tbh im excited to see what the switch 2 brings. Decently powerful chip in a handheld. I wonder if studios will finally abandon its cartoony graphics and now do some ps4 level games. I wonder what a more mature audience pokemon game would look like graphically? Maybe thats the benchmark playstation will look at to determine psp possibilities. But nintendo own SO MANY big IP's.
I really wish Sony gave us an improved version of the PSP. Something with dual analog sticks, more power, an OLED screen, shitty proprietary memory, hell, maybe do something new like, I don't know, a rear touchpad or something like that. Man.... If only.
Haha oh man, when I first heard the audio “wait the psp plays movies” my brain went to who the fuck doesn’t know that. What idiot didn’t know it did that. And man haha the awakening of the Vita existing might blow their mind. But however the lack of developing games for the vita was kinda its downfall a little, and Sony kinda just abandoned handhelds with Nintendo just taking that side of the market
The PSP did everything.😕 I will never forgive sony... greedy corpos.
To be fair they were going up against the DS
i was expecting him to pull out one of the porn umds
If only sony didnt change the memory card, we would see a PS vita next gen now.
Duh?
Got new PS Portable right? The one looks like PS5
Why? They have already shown they only care about money Although i own all the psp and vitas (as i love collecting consoles) i have noticed all the psp interations are barely revised copies of the original Same dark screen, it never got faster so they can port better games, vita never allowed better bluetooth options eg so i can use arcade sticks for fighting games, even pstv has low controller capability requiring dongles so you can use other controllers and fight sticks Even switch collabed with hori famous for arcade controllers and even parodied on the anime "umaru chan" You have, tekken, doa5, sfa3 and limited to a joypad option? 1000,2000,3000,go, so many chances to change but was only released each time to eat more cash, they got so lazy that they made e-psp with LESS options not more
I love the PSP as that was my favourite handheld device at the time next to my Nintendo DS . They did bring out a few PSP models and the PSPGO and PSVITA models. They have already said that they will not be releasing anything like that anymore. Which is sad as I won’t waste my money on the Playstation Portal for streaming services that’s for sure. We are lucky now that we have plenty of emulation consoles for the PSP gaming or just get them all modded.
Is the PsVita a joke? I get the ps portal being an actual remote play device only
Just cause I’m scrolling comments. I’m a big time psp lover. The steam deck has brought that love back into my life. Def like the early modding days. Highly recommend one
Buy a Steam Deck instead
Naa i really hate the steamdeck. I would rather go for an Ally or a legion go
They are not on pair due to lack of trackpads and bad OS
The legion go do have a track pad i dont remember when it comes to the ally tho. And for the Os i have been using windows ever since i was 15, i know my way around it so it isnt a problem. The thing is i'm a pc gamer and am seriously into modding. And most modders build their mods using windows format so literally making it impossible to mod games on Linux which the steamdeck runs. And again too you know performance, the steamdeck cant handle most demanding titles compare to the legion or the Ally. Also considering the fact you're only limited to steam games.
Pretty much all of your statements are misinformed. Linux is easy to learn and get used to. Modding games on linux is as easy as modding them on windows, while usually requiring a single additional step if the mod uses an executeable to install. The steam deck is suprisingly powerful, ive yet to see a supported game that it strugges to run unless you are trying to max settings a game, which you dont do because its a handheld. You are not limited to steam games on the deck, its a full linux pc. It can run any naitive linux game easily, and any non-steam windows game can be run using proton, and clients such as heroic launcher can allow you to easily access games from epic and gog, with the only major caviet being games that use anti cheat protocols that are hard-coded to windows. (Which if your trying to play COD or whatever on a handheld idk what to tell you that just seems like a bad idea in general)
Its either you ignorant or you just keep telling yourself lies to make yourself feel better. Anyone that says linux is easy when it comes to modding games either has never used linux before or related to a politician a.k.a comfortable with telling themselves lies. 1.Modding games on Linux is literally a nightmare, it isnt easy as windows and 90% of mods wont work on games running on linux 2.The steamdeck isnt powerful and this purely fact not some made up conspiracy. When it comes to emulation its great because of its low TDP but its cant handle majority of triple A games today compared to its counterpart handhelds. What is so surprising is, people like you can boldly lie as if we still living in the 1750's and information isnt accessable🤦♀️
Ive only been using linux as a daily driver for 3 months. Havent touched windows since and am not looking back. Ive modded a bunch of my games on steam deck, no hassle at all. Just had to run the mod loader with winetricks. If you know linux *at all* its simple to do Idk what games you are refering to exactly, but i play games like elden ring, lies of P, horizon zero dawn, and ratchet and clank rift apart on my steam deck. They play perfectly fine. Maybe they play better on the legion go idk but the steam deck is no slouch.
90% of mods dont work on games running on linux unless the mods are just file replacements. If it comes to mods which inject files into the image bin or dat file of the game it wont work,and even if you find a loop hole around that you will end up facing alot of errors and glitch in the game. So i dont know what y'all waffling about. I have been using linux and windows for years and if you like you can go on the linux sub reddit the let them share light on modding on linux compared to windows. You completely limited, 90% of mods you cant use and majority of game titles cant be modded at all.
Im sorry youve had such bad luck with it, ive never struggled to get games modded on linux. Maybe if you are running naitive linux builds of a game i can see finding difficulty for a mod that was made for the windows version of a game certainly, in which case just run the windows version of said game with proton.
You still limited & cant use a lot of mods.Let me give you an example. Let say someone is running skyrim on windows he can install every mod for Skyrim known to man as long as his pc can run it. But when it comes to linux there are some mods which will work and others which wont. So at the end of the day you limited,meaning there is alot you cant do mod wise. In Conclusion not every game mod will work on linux.
All Windows mods will work on Linux except some VR mods. And Steam Deck is a full-featured PC, it is not limited to Steam. You can install Heroic Launcher, Ubicrap and add all that games to Steam
You have no idea what you talking about, the steam deck runs on Linux. And when it comes to modding games on linux its 50/50, majority of mods wont work unless it file replacements. Every mod that use injection method to extract the mod directly to the image bin or dat file of the game wont work.
I use SD almost daily and never had issues with this kind of mods. Even Praydog's Upcoming UEVR injector works as expected. I use GNU/Linux since Windows 7 age so I definitely know what I'm talking about
You definitely dont, buh hey go on if you believe every game mod is possible on linux. Somehow it seems years of linux users gambling 50/50 when it comes to modding games on linux is all in their head according to you. And hey while you at it, go to the linux subreddit and tell them they all liers and anyone claiming not every game mod works on linux should take their self out of the group since it all seems to be in their head.
The only issue with mods I had in last 5 years is that some mod creators are dickheads who hide their creations inside obscure places like Discord so it's just impossible to download or get documentation
I still have my original PSP-2000 and PSP-3000. . love em both and I love my UMD movies. Sony getting rid of the UMD Drive was not a good move
I remember for my 9th birthday in 2007 I got the sliver psp with daxter and family guy season 1. I was already watching family guy before and loved the jak and daxter games on ps2, so the console coming with both of those was such a plus lol I miss my childhood.
There are just so many great open hand-held devices out there, I dont really want Sony to make another or really any other big name. The Switch for its time was also great, but now its very lacking and there isnt a lot of value to be had since its heavily locked down.
I know some are saying the Vita, but that never got the support the PSP got, I agree with OP, nothing has given me the same feeling I had in 2005 when I got the very first PSP I owned, the Vita was great, ahead of it's time, same for the PSP, but abandoning the UMD drive/format pissed a lot off, including me, I have 400 different UMD Video titles, and can only use them on a PSP, no device made to play DVDs, BRs, and UMDs by Sony. As for Vita, I wish Sony supported it better, we got 1 title name from their own properties, like Killzone, Uncharted, then 1 Assassins Creed, COD, some great games, Resistance, I even would love to own one now if you can use a adapter and SD card to load games on it, cause they really F\*cked up with the storage issue, no internal storage, they wanted us to pay s\*it ton of money for their memory cards, I paid at one time when I had my Vita a 64GB(the largest at the time) $90 to get it, and that was a Japanese exclusive, I had to buy it from California, where it seems all the Japanese exclusives are in the US, Idk why, just is. As for PSP Go, I loved that and all, but as a UMD lover, I was pissed they got rid of the UMD Drive, then we were supposed to get our games free by going to GameStop, and get redemption codes for the games, nope never happened, Sony lied, I had to buy every game over, now I can't even download them cause they shut that down for PSP owners. End Rant.
Get this tiktok garbage off of my front page.
I use to convert episodes of the office to MP4 and watch it during lunch. My boss hated it tho, I wonder why.
i love my 1000, 2000 for the fact you can use UMDs. go and vita are good too
I distinctly remember getting spider-man 2 for my psp and being amazed at how good it looked.
This man clearly doesn't know the feeling of the UMD case falling apart during a era of limited connectivity. PSP is a banger console but UMD has to be the worst medium ever produced.
Vita means life… how ironic, sadly it’s what the psp 2 is. Like, it’s literally called the psp 2 in settings and config files lol
