The PSP is becoming one of the hottest gifts this holiday season. And for good reason too. The slimmer, lighter and generally more awesome PSP-2000 system has reignited sales of Sony's portable, and supposedly they're becoming quite hard to find in stores. In fact, PSP systems are currently outselling DS systems on amazon.com. Various CAG members report:
"They are impossible to find in most stores, at least in my area." - SaraAB
"It is true about PSP selling surpringly well. I suggested either PSP core or Daxter bundle as a gift for me, and in the past couple weeks it had been generally hard to find or very quickly selling when available." - H22A
"The PSP has been OOS for a long time (Core & Daxter) both B&M & Online. I've been trying to get one for weeks (and a decent deal) and TRU, Target, BB, CC, Amazon, Walmart, Gamestop, Barnes & Noble have all been OOS and then got restocked but sold out very quickly." - J7.
"According to my favorite Gamestop manager...they can't even keep USED PSPs in stock...who knew." - loserboy
"Let me add my voice to the chorus of truth: The Daxter bundle and the piano black slim ARE hard to find this holiday season in many areas. Not bad for a "failed system" (as some bozos were saying a year or so ago)." - canedaddy
"My wife wants the slim black one, and I haven't been able to find them online or in any store." - Clobbersaurus
Wow. Who knew our little system had so much selling power? Has there ever been a better time to be a PSP fan? Those that are looking for a PSP, there is some advice from CAG members. Get the Star Wars white system. Supposedly, no one wants them, and they are easily the most readily available system.
From the Supervision to the Steam Deck, the vast history of handheld console gaming is always worth celebrating.
A modded PSP is awesome, I used to play games like the original Marvel vs Capcom and even the original Doom on it.
After the much-awaited Elden Ring DLC, it's time FromSoftware considers reviving King's Field, the creative gem that made it all possible.
You need a reason to fight the good fight. In video games, some of the best antagonists have been female perpetrators.
I got the 2000 amazingly I have 2 psp....the fat and the slim..fat to me has better battery life..but slim has better pic and works with my mic PSP is the new revolution of gaming
I just checked on Amazon and apparently non of the PSP bundles are in Stock only the Daxter packs appears with stock coming the 19th
I STILL WANT CRISIS CORE IN EU
Great to see people finally buying this great handheld. PSP definitly deserves to be in high demand unlike a popular console *cough... Wii cough*.
there are tradeoffs to the slim and non slim version.. like easy of piracy.. haha, but its good to see it selling. i might buy one when crisis core comes out.
