I was considering getting a PSP but I don't know if I should get an older model (PSP-3000?) or a PSP Go?
I normally wouldn't consider the Go! but it can be had for like $150 used at Gamestop right now.
I like a lot of things about the Go! but I know it is a lot cheaper to buy umd games than the digital versions.
I guess my main question is can you play copied games on the Go? I recalled friends in college who had PSP's and they had all sorts of games they could play on it (including PSX games). I didn't know if the Go has been "cracked" like the 3000 has or not, as I'd like to play FF games on the PSP rather than on my PS3 (with the disk).
Any help/info anyone can give me?

No, the PSP Go hasn't been hacked to play backups. The only PSP models that have been hacked are the PSP-1000 (launch model) and PSP-2000 ("PSP Slim.") The PSP-3000 and PSP Go haven't been hacked yet.
If you want to buy a PSP for the sole purpose of getting custom firmware on there, you need to find a PSP-1000 or PSP-2000. If you get a PSP-2000, you'll also need what's called a Pandora's Battery to install custom firmware and thus play backups. -
Yea, but I just want to play games I already own. I'd rather play FF9 on the PSP for example than have to put it in my PS3 and be limited to sitting in front of the TV.
I want to buy the Disgaea games too, FF: Tactics (whatever the PSP version is called), Prinny, and FF: Crisis Core. So I don't want to just play back-ups I just didn't know if I could do that on one version or another. -
In that case, there's no need to go with custom firmware; just wait for the inevitable PSN re-release of FF9, download it to the PSP, and away you go.Stitches likes this.

My PSN group has FFVII (might get VIII), I can play that version on a PSP?
-
FF7 and 8 have both been released on the PSN, yes. FF7 costs $10, and I think FF8 is the same price as well.
You just pay and download. Make sure you've got a Memory Stick Pro Duo large enough to hold the games, though. -
I'm saying I have them on my PS3 already, so I can copy them to a PSP then? Can all PSN games work on a PSP? because I know there are PSP only games on PSN so I thought some were only able to play on the PS3.

You log in to your PSN account on your PSP, go to your Download List, and re-download.
In the case of PS1 games, the PSP can run them with no problem. (Well, except the missing L2/L3 R2/R3 buttons.) -
Yeah, I think I will be picking up a PSP again as well. I will probably pick upthe Assasins Creed Bundle.

What's that?
