I just got this today from the seller musicMagPie. The PSP wasn't being charged at first and so I paniced for a bit. Then I left it charging for around 1 and a half hour and I tried to turned on. It works!!! The first time I try to plug it, there is no orange light. And so now I am so excited to get the games. Just so you know, the PSP is not in thr best condition, the back and the screen got somr scratch marks, but I'm ok with it as I will fond sticker to cover them up. Thx for the product~~

Aside from being a classic bit of nostalgia, the PSP 3000 is a really well-made little console. Heck, I accidentally ran over mine with the family Ford and aside from having to replace the screen and joystick it didn’t even scratch it! Fortunately they are easy to repair yourself and parts are still readily available. If you buy yourself a large capacity memory card and buy your games digitally rather than on physical disk the battery lasts a heck of a long time. Great Product!

Bought this thinking it would be as fun as it was when I was a child but the disc spinning sound was too annoying and loud hence why I returned the product and it doesn’t connect to my internet service provider
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2011
My PSP came sooner than expected! It is working very well, but unfortunatly the game I ordered due to come at the same time has not come yet (from another seller). I will have to wait until I get a game for it I guess :(. Anyway, it came packed like it was new! The only difference from new was the charger in a non original bag and the seal broken (on the box) like it was described!

Thanks you!

Joe

(I would recomend this buyer, I need to get some more games so I should see you soon etonmarketplace!)

The PSP was in better condition than described by seller. It came with the original box and manuals, as well as a charger, which was a pleasant surprise. The PSP was very carefully packaged and it almost felt as though I was unboxing a brand new PSP. There were a couple of very small scratches on the back of the PSP, but none anywhere else. I'm really pleased with this purchase.

They need to give you more info, not their might be a memory stick. took nearly 3 weeks to get it sorted. and console very over priced, compared to others with save option. not very happy.

More for the seller, love the console but bought one of the more expensive options from the list to ensure quality, unfortunately the screen quality is really bad with terrible colour glitches, not as advertised.

5.0 out of 5 stars System is great, but.....
Reviewed in the United States on 12 February 2016
It showed up a day early, everything was neatly packed in it's original box. The system is in excellent shape, no scratches, no marks, nothing to indicate it has ever even been taken out of the package before. The only thing that bugs me is that they forgot to include the memory stick that was supposed to come with it. Now I have to wait a week for a memory stick to get here, that I shouldn't have had to buy in the first place, before I can play any games.

Like I said, the system is literally perfect, don't hesitate to order it. Just make sure to get a memory stick ordered at the same time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Whats in a number?
Reviewed in Canada on 19 August 2015
I bought this PSP with the hope that it was the 3001, but instead got a 3006, that had the AC adapter cord swapped out with a generic cord that was actually rusty and even had difficulty plugging in to an electrical outlet, I managed to get the seller to give me a partial refund so I could buy a proper one.

Although I got the 3006 (Hong Kong) version instead of the 3001, it still was able to play North American games. I have no intention of getting any of the UMD movies as they are too expensive and a little pointless to buy on a older system that has a 4.3 inch screen, when I can buy a DVD copy for less than $15 and watch it on my HDTV. One minor issue with the PSP 3006 is that the 'X' and 'O' buttons have been switched around while selecting icons from the system menu (on the 3001 North American system 'X' is 'OK' and 'O' is 'Cancel', but the 3006 has 'O' as 'OK' and 'X' as 'Cancel'). This change can also sometimes happen in some game menus (Such as Assassins Creed Bloodlines and Killzone Liberation).

Despite the slight listing error. Overall I actually like this system my only 'major' problem is that the PSP lacks a 2nd joystick, and games that nearly require them bypass this issue by using the Triangle, Square, Circle and Cross buttons.

Whether you buy the real 3001 or 3006 or any other 3000 version of PSP it is well worth it with a solid library to choose from! And more often than not you can set the system language to English when you first start it up.
