Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) 2000 Series Handheld Gaming Console System (Renewed) (Black)

Excellent refurbish PSP 2000. Works very well as it should and in Very good condition!!

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.

Tray came damaged and unable to play games.

It turns on which was a good sign has more scratches and scuffs than id hoped for and a small nick in the screen just expected near mint quality with the description saying”excellent” will have my game tomorrow to see if it reads the disk i feel like pricing wise it should be a bit cheaper its a used product but the price is retail

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.

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!

Great seller. Responds to any questions or concerns almost immediately. They do their best to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your purchase and everything is working properly.

Big warning about this. It's a Japanese model and does not play American UMD movies. Which is why I wanted one since I still had some movies and games from back in the day. All settings will be in Japanese so you'll have to reset everything. Games will play and everything else seems to work. Batteries drain fast, so you may want to order better ones. I get why the put 3 in with it because they die so quickly. It seems to be modified, but I'm not sure. If you can hack it to allow American UMDs then I'd say it's OK, if you're like me and can't i would try to find one somewhere else, again good for games not movies UMDs.
