Anbernic made their own version a little while back too!

That retro futurism it evokes was the prod for me to compile all these images for a PSP ‘scrapbook’ a little while ago

It is such a beautifully designed machine!

There were a few nice benefits though, over the (nicer) ergonomics of the 1000

• 64MB RAM over the 32 in the 1000
• Better battery life (apparently, though I never saw much of that)
• The screens certainly got brighter on the 2000

The best part is though that while they’re all such similar models, they all have their own quirks and pros (as well as cons), so there really is a PSP for everybody!

Anyway, good write up

Thank you! I had a ton of fun with this one, because I love the consoles so damn much. It was a fun surprise when it all arrived and I got to see just what the word “junk” meant this time, and (as ever), it was such a pleasant surprise. It might be a little selfish of me to think it, but I really think the old and humble PSP still has a place as a great handheld even in 2026!
