I was very lucky to find an almost good-as-new PSP 2000 locally. I am very excited about it! It will need a new battery though and it only came with an USB charger. Would appreciate any tips pertaining chargers and batteries. But if you have any gaming related suggestions or general tips I'm open for that too :)
I remember back when I had my 3004 mystic silver and messed around so much with CFW, I wouldn't be surprised if my love for tinkering was significantly due to it :D
I still love the plugin architecture of its OS. The entire device is very well designed from ground up and is really easy to develop for (even without an actual SDK).
It's no wonder why the homebrew scene was so good.
