Where to Buy a PSP in 2024 (Discontinued Since 2014)

New PSPs are no longer manufactured. You'll only find used/refurbished units:

Best Sources

eBay / Mercari / Facebook Marketplace: Largest selection. Filter "Sold" for real prices.
Retro game shops: Local stores (often test/clean units), chains like GameStop (limited stock), specialized online retailers (DKOldies, Lukie Games, RetroGameRepair).
Pawn shops / thrift stores: Hit-or-miss, sometimes cheap.
Japan import sites: Rakuten, Yahoo Auctions (via proxy), Solaris Japan—often better condition, but add shipping/import fees.

Model: 1000 (fat), 2000/3000 (slim), Go (digital-only), E1000 (budget, no Wi-Fi).
Screen: no dead pixels, minimal scratches (3000/Go have better panels).
Battery: holds charge? (OEM replacements ~$15).
UMD drive: loads/spins quietly? (common failure point).
Buttons/analog: no drift, good click.
Memory Stick Pro Duo + charger included?

Ask for photos of the actual unit, not stock images.
