The Sony PSP marked the company’s full fledged entry into the portable gaming console market, which at the time was dominated by Nintendo. Sony had actually crammed in a complete PlayStation 2 into a portable form factor, with the exception of a second joystick. This made PSP the most powerful gaming console of its time and for a few years to come. It became extremely popular despite it using the UMD disk format along with a proprietary memory format. Many competitors like the Nokia N-Gage tried to go up against it but failed. The device even connected to the internet via Wi-Fi which was a hard find in any other portable gaming console of that time.
As time passed, the Nintendo DS started gaining ground back as people were unwilling to purchase the then overpriced UMDs. Sony then decided to claim back its throne with the PSP Go, a UMD-less device which worked totally upon game downloads from the PlayStation Store. The PSP Go had a lot going for it like a much more pocketable design, the ability to download and play games, and the solid hinge mechanism for unveiling controls. However, it wasn’t received well by the public, as the device had a ton of flaws that overpowered any pros it had going for it.
The first one being lack of backward compatibility, meaning if you owned a PSP with any games, they became useless on the PSP Go making the users buy them again to play. The M2 memory cards that it used were expensive, and of course, users had to pay more than the PSP to get their hands on the PSP Go. Sony managed to exceed expectations on the hardware front, but the above mentioned drawbacks and some more led to the PSP Go’s failure in the market.
My back story on the PSP was very short and new I never own it or even played it until last year when I've gone to Galaxycon and at there collector’s market vendors they had one that sold used video games and consoles and one of them was a CIB (Complete In Box) Sony PSP unit MODEL PSP-1000 and a bunch of games in fact I never knew there was ton of PSP games for dirt cheap.

PSP was very popular around some countries. I remember when it was literally the only gaming console of sorts I have until we bought an Xbox 360. the memories...
Was always curious about the PSP as I wanted to try the Coded Arms game on it, but never got one.
I used to play a lot of Action RPG's on a PSP. Untold Legends (first and second games), Throne of Agony, Warriors of the Lost Empire, Dungeon Maker, and Dungeon Explorer were some of the good ones I liked.
And I still use my PSP today, but mainly for music and photos... and images I downloaded. Especially from FA here.
The problem is, the battery chamber doesn't work, even if the battery is fully charged. So I have to keep it plugged in with the AV cord.

Love the ever living crap out of it... Play it's games to this day. But my fat 1000 model's battery died, there aren't any more replacements and my 3000 model's buttons (L and the d-pad right button) busted.
So I hacked my PSVita, got an SD2Vita card and put ALL my PSP games inside it.
