This came jailbroken straight out of the box which was unexpected but convenient! I was able to download and install all of my favorite games in ISO format from my computer directly onto the memory card. Games load quickly and gameplay is smooth!

Scratchy UMD drive. I think most PSP are like this. Had to oil it a little. Try launching your games through Memory stick™ :)One of the batteries is original Sony's and it's performing great! The second one is Chinese "no name" and feels like 15-20% less than the original.I might post precise numbers later.The charger is not original but it works good.

Well bad purchase on my part my product came in a plastic bag and a business card with instructions will not connect to the internet because of the format in order to use it with internet you must go to the old format and now you're at a slower speed and your other electronics won't connect to your internet because your format is 10 years old bad purchase and it was clear to use

I bought this in 2019 to relive some of my old games; and it’s still working just fine in 2024 so overall if you have some old PSP games and wanna relive them again definitely buy another PsP if yours is lost or no longer working.

I was afraid at first to order this item I read lots of reviews before I chose this seller. I am very impressed my psp came earlier than was supposed to l opened the box which also held a charger. The psp is lovely it's clean has no scratches it actually looks new I charged it immediately and watched a movie on it which played perfectly. Thank you for a great buy I would definitely purchase from this seller again.

Just received my psp yesterday and I love it! It arrived early which is a plus and its in great condition. Not only did it come packaged with a charger and 2 battery packs but also a memory stick and ear buds! If you use any UMD games you will hear a quiet whirring sound of the disk spinning. I saw some people mention this as an issue but its actually normal and something that you'd hear or new psp's when they first released and as long as its not overpowering your game audio its totally normal. Only issue Ive come across are a few dots on the screen which I circled and can see when the screen is off but when Im playing a game I don't even notice it so I'm fine with it! Overall Im very satisfied with this purchase.

The PSP 2000 series is great when purchased brand new, but be carefull with second hand ones that might be modified or have 3rd party components!I have the same model of PSP that was straight from the factory so as an original owner, I know what the real thing is. This second hand one stated that it might come with aftermarket parts and accessories which is understandable, but it should at least have legitimate firmware. Counterfeit firmware, also known as custom firmware, can potentially "brick" the unit. While it can allow you to run stuff that the PSP would not normally be able to run, it can also damage your PSP and crush compatability with genuine firmware and accessories. The PSP that I received is incompatible with accessories like the PSP camera because it has fake firmware. If you try to install genuine Sony firmware that is safer for you PSP and allows you to use different accessories, the counterfeit firmware prevents you from doing it. I have to use weird downloads inorder to downgrade the firmware and install genuine Sony firmware. This can be risky if done incorrectly and should have been done while it was being refurbished!If an item has counterfeit firmware and is incompatible with genuine accessories and genuine firmware, it does not "function like new". Ebay is safer for second hand things like this. Amazon Renewed does have hit or miss success on other units as well. Like the Amazon Renewed Sony PS2 that destroys every disc you put in it. A new PS2 or certified refurbished PS2 does not reck your disks.The charger that this PSP came with was not the original charger. This would normally be understandable except one problem, the charger it came with gets REALLY hot, weighs nothing, feels cheap, and does NOT have any safety marks whatsoever. The aftermarket charger isn't even UL Listed!Summary:The PSP 2000 is best purchased factory sealed in the box but that gets REALLY expensive. This refurbished one is great when you have the genuine charger that won't burn your house down. The refurbished PSP definitely isn't as nice as my 100% original PSP 2000 and doesn't come with the factory installed apps like Sensme Channels, but it does everything else just like a new one. The only thing it doesn't do is support PSP accessories like the camera and allow you to install genuine firmware without having to worry about "bricking" the PSP. You can fix these issues with online downloads but it is risky when done incorrectly and should have been done prior to selling the unit. The only reason I'm giving this refurbished one 4 out of 5 stars is because losing the camera compatibility isn't much of a loss, plus I'm in a pretty good mood. Everything else, including games seem to work well so far. I will update this review if anything changes.
