I got a PSP 3k for free , at the dumpster. It had a cracked LCD and broken faceplate, my dad fixed it with his PSP's spare parts. Its definitely worth it since I got it for free =3

bought mine new for $179 years ago, totally worth it. I used to fly all the time. I put movies, music, and games on it. I have a collection of like 15 games too.

I got that new vibrant blue invizimals bundle from K-mart for $220 dollars(plus tax). I got it from K-Mart because they gave out a 15 dollar coupon.

I got the epic camouflage PSP with Peace Walker and a case and stuff for $200. Totally worth it IMO. I only have six games so far (PW, Valkyrie Profile, Ratchet, MG Acid, Dungeon Siege, Racedriver 2006), but I'm certainly planning to get more, and also dump episodes of TV shows and such to it.

A fun little system.

It was $175 on special at Target, and I bought a new clearance copy of Smackdown vs Raw 2010 for $10 with it. I don't regret it, and I do think it was worth it. I wish I got the special Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep edition though.

I got my PSP from a Pamida department store back in november 2008 after working at a hunters lodge. Had to buy myself something nice from getting paid LOL. The PSP cost like 169 bucks and then I had to buy one game to go with it which was God of War Chains of Olympus. The game wasnt cheap since it was at a Pamida store.

So I spent up to 225 bucks

you do realize you can "go digital" using your psp slim? you dont have to spend $200 to play the digital games. why not spend $30 on a bigger memory stick and just download the games on your current psp?

I got my first psp back on launch date for $250, while it was steep in price, especially compared to the $169 price now, I used it so much it was beyond worth it. I got a Go last year for $250 and it was a huge rip off, big mistake on my part (I got all swept up in how sleek it looked and the extreme portability). Failure by sony imo; the lack of any sort of a discount on downloaded games, combined with the small library of available games and missing new titles (Iike Kingdom Hearts) is disappointing.

I got my PSP2000 off a buddy for 100 bucks, cash. He threw in 4 games, a 2gig Sony memory stick, 2 wall chargers, and a Sony carrying case. He even tossed a movie on the memory stick as a sweetener. Pretty good deal all around :)

I traded a 30gb iPod Video for mine. And I got:

A black psp slim

A 1gb memory stick

Smackdown vs Raw 2007(this was when it was newer lol)

God of War

Need For Speed Carbon

Naruto Ultimate Heroes or something like that

NBA 2007

And the charger and a usb cord

I think it was one of the best deals I've ever made.

Exchange on base, Best buy, GameStop, Exchange on base. I've had a total of four PSPs and they're all worth it. Well when they first came out they were a little overpriced.

Just bought a pre-owned PSP-3000 from ebay for $AU182.50 that came with 8 games (God of War and Patapon 2 were the only good ones), a couple of movies and a bunch of random accessories. I'll tell you if it's worth it when it arrives. :)

I got my 3000 from a distribuitor for 230$ (Romania is more expensive then onther contries so..)

I still think it's a lot for how much it does, but it's fun so I guess that makes it more ok...
