Cold_void344 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Greetings everyoneI have a bit of a dilemma as to what I should do regarding PSP's, here is the dilemma:I can't decide whether to wait out and buy the PSP Vita, or just get a cheap 1000,2000 or 3000 that some stores have floating around (I have seen 1000's and 2000's in store brand new for anywhere between $70-$130 at kmart and the like)I use to have a 2000 but traded it in when I got my PS3 (Im kicking myself for trading it in)All I really want it for is to play games (and yes I will jailbreak my psp and download my games through torrents and the like) which I used to do before trading in my 2000.Can you guys please help me in deciding what I should do? Im leaning towards the 1000,2000,3000 idea but im pretty certain that someone will find a way to jailbreak the Vita, but will the jailbroken Vita be able to play games meant for the 1000,2000 and 3000?

lemmingllama Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Personally, I would say just to get the cheaper 2000, but really whatever works. The Vita is backwards compatible, but only for certain things, plus it might take awhile for jailbreaks that actually work to get out and be usableThe device will also be backwards compatible with PlayStation Portable downloadable titles, PlayStation minis, PlayStation Suite games, PSOne Classics, videos, and comics from the PlayStation Store.

salmun Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 if you have the money for it I say go with the PS Vita, the graphics are amazing; its like a mini ps3.plus if you do have the money for a few games then why not, it will be worth the wait when/if they find a way to jailbreak it/hack it, I'm guessing. Sony is a bit stubborn with the pricing of the PSP's but if you're not in any hurry then you could make your decision around this Christmas where there might be a possibility of them dropping prices for the vita if sells don't go well, though I doubt it.

olin555 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I think it'd be best to ask yourself if you're interested enough in the games for the Vita. If you're only going to be playing PSP games, why pay the extra? Especially since the Vita is still brand new and you already know how to get a PSP to work the way you want it to.But if you're psyched for some of the Vita games, especially if they're not out yet, I'd take a bit of a wait-and-see approach. See if it can do the things you want it to and check reviews on the games. I'm not sure how the Vita is doing in Japan, but the 3DS eventually got a substantial price drop after being out for a while...Still, I can't really comment on the jailbreaking; since I have no idea how to do it on either system or if it's even possible for the Vita...

Cold_void344 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Still, I can't really comment on the jailbreaking; since I have no idea how to do it on either system or if it's even possible for the Vita...it is really easy to jailbreak the PSP's, and it was quite creative how they managed to find the exploit (well interesting if your into that sort of stuff)I reccomend it for a read if you are ever bored / interested and what to know moreThanks everyone for their posts, I have decided to get a new 2000/3000 since they are anywhere between $80-$110 (checked today at my local stores) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomhouse Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 They already have the hack for the vita so why not get the vita i heard they were waiting to release the hack until it came out in the united states im pretty sire the hack will allow you to play previous psp version games plus newer one too.

Xanodus Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 To be honest, i wouldn't buy the old PSP's. You see, my PSP recently broke without any damage done to it whatsoever. the screen has pixel lines, the buttons don't work, etc.. This all happened for no reason. I suggest buying the Vita since the graphics are better, there are more options for it, and for the few extra dollars, is worth the wait and the gaming console itself.

†Shazi Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 i would get the cheaper option for now. there isn't many games availible for the psvita yet nor has it been hacked so you're better off playing through all the games you want on psp and saving up for the money for a vita in the mean time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kashem2 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 get a 1000. 1000 are the only ones that can be fully hacked. only early model 2000s can be hacked. meaning the they can have CFW. late model 2000 can not be hacked at all or only a bit. and 3000s can only be half hacked. meaning that you cant play ISOs or CSOs but you can play homebrew. tho word says that all are hackable now but its not 100% meaning that if the psp turns off you have to reload the CFW again. also make sure when your buying that the FW on it is low. the newer the FW the harder to hack it.btw i own a 1000 running 6.xx CFW ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnawind Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Personally, I would say just to get the cheaper 2000, but really whatever works. The Vita is backwards compatible, but only for certain things, plus it might take awhile for jailbreaks that actually work to get out and be usableIt would also require a specially made card or you couldn't get anything on the VITA. I doubt there will be much trouble with piracy or anything on the VITA for a good portion of its time. If you want to play PSP games, then just do the PSP option.get a 1000. 1000 are the only ones that can be fully hacked. only early model 2000s can be hacked. meaning the they can have CFW. late model 2000 can not be hacked at all or only a bit. and 3000s can only be half hacked. meaning that you cant play ISOs or CSOs but you can play homebrew. tho word says that all are hackable now but its not 100% meaning that if the psp turns off you have to reload the CFW again. also make sure when your buying that the FW on it is low. the newer the FW the harder to hack it.btw i own a 1000 running 6.xx CFW ^^Mine is running one of the most recent firmware also, but it is a PSP-2000 2g model. I use the LCFW from NEURON. I believe it is for firmware 6.39. I only used it for outputting PSP games to my CRT TV and to play my own PSX games that I ripped to the computer and converted to a PSP EBOOT with ImpalerPSX. Also, the CFW from NEURON runs on any model of PSP whether it is the 1000, 2000, or 3000. They uses exploits to disable to flash reset on the newer PSPs when the system is reset, if you use the full CFW version, but it only works with PSP Firmware 6.XX.

There is no guarantee that the Vita will ever be hacked and any PSP can be hacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaman007 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 pick up a 2000 or 3000 (improved screen) and install 6.60 Pro B10. Vita can wait til there's more games worthy of playing before dropping 250-300 on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
