PSP is a modern console, thanks to which a person can play their favorite games anywhere. Some people prefer to buy used consoles, as they cost an order of magnitude cheaper, but in this case, you need to pay maximum attention to many factors.

PSP is one of the most advanced video game consoles. She has a very wide range of models and many possibilities. Firstly, they buy it mainly for games (since it was originally conceived for this). Secondly, with its help, a person can view films, photographs and even listen to music. Thirdly, it does not require any wires (except for charging), and you can connect to the Internet using the built-in Wi-Fi module.
All these advantages in the aggregate are very popular with many people and they prefer to buy this console. Naturally, this pleasure is not the cheapest, and many buy a used device. In order not to regret the purchase, when choosing, you need to be extremely careful and pay attention to many nuances.
Nuances of choosing a PSP
First, you need to ask the seller about which model range the device belongs to. PSPs, which were originally intended for Russia, have codes 1008 and 1004. Some people buy PSPs cheaper in other countries, and then sell them in Russia. In the event that the device you are considering has a different code, then you will not be able to apply for warranty, therefore, you need to pay attention to this nuance.
Secondly, pay attention to the firmware version of the device. It is this factor that determines which games you can play. If the device has firmware 1.00 or 1.50, then you will not be able to play modern games (although you can reflash your PSP yourself). These games require at least firmware version 3.03.
You should pay no less attention to the screen itself. Perhaps, many could see a defect when buying, for example, LCD monitors, which consists in the fact that one pixel of all constantly flickers or all the time burns in one color. Unfortunately, the PSP has the same flaw. When choosing a device, you need to turn it on and wait a little. If you find a similar defect, then feel free to refuse the purchase, otherwise the device will not be able to serve you for a sufficient time.
In addition to all of the above, you need to find out if the PSP has been opened. If the sticker under the battery of the device is not straight, torn or dented, then this directly indicates that the device has been opened, which means that some elements inside it could be replaced.
If you are careful when choosing this or that model and pay your attention to all these nuances, then the purchase will delight you for a long time.
