Is it still worth getting a brand new PSP 3001 now?

[ShedoSurashu]

So I saw an ad on our local version of ebay and they're selling:

Brand New SONY PSP 3001 Black (US Ver) Core Pack

It includes
- unit
- battery
- charger
- box
- manual

for roughly $122 (full converted price, no need to pay customs fees and whatnot)
I haven't really bothered about owning a gaming console because I do most of my gaming on Steam via PC. However, I have taken interest in PSP lately because the thought of having a portable gaming device while I'm on the road is quite nice. They say it's ISO/CSO ready.

So is it still worth getting that particular PSP now? Or should I stick to PPSSPP on the PC? And also, will my saves be interchangeable between PPSSPP and the physical PSP? I kind of want to keep my saves in sync so I can take my progress anywhere I go and not be tied to the PSP.

Sorry if this all seems unknowledgable or anything but I really am not familiar with how these work.

The PSP-3000 is not new my friend !

And the "1" at the end of "3000" is just the region code for North America

Thanks for that bit of info. And yes, I know PSP isn't new. What I mean is they are selling a brand new PSP, meaning, it hasn't been opened yet.

I think it is worth because you can carry your PSP everywhere just like an Android phone, but not all games are compatible with PPSSPP and Android phones can't run PSP games at full speed, so buy the PSP and wait till PPSSPP get enough perfomance and compatibility and sell your PSP, and yes you can sync your saves between you PSP and you PC or you phone

Wow, here in Brazil we do not buy a PSP for less than R$ 300

That's a good idea

Dunno if that's cheaper or pricier than what I saw but for the sake of it, here's the item I saw and the one I'm talking about http://sulit.com.ph/14014061. I want to know if I should get this or not.

I am not just asking for syncing to PC, I am also wondering if the save files I get from PSP will be playable on PPSSPP and if my PPSSPP saves are playable on the PSP.

[GuilhermeGS2]

$ 122 = about R$ 270.

The response is yes, although it seems to me that it doesn't work with some games...

I'm thinking about buying 12 of them from that website and selling them for $100 each talk about profit.
