It's official--my latest PSP Go has just died from a cracked screen, due to my desperate attempts to turn it back on (I had to resort to increasingly odd ways of doing this).
Well, all I can say, is that my days as a PSP Go owner are officially over...I'm going to stick to the UMD-based PSP's from now on, and most likely I'll buy a 3000 model, as they are the newest (and sturdiest) slimline PSP model, with the brightest screen, thinnest profile, and most convenient and ergonomic button (and joystick) layout. Plus, there won't be any flickering screen or screen-turning-off-by-itself issues to worry about.
However, and this may sound odd, but I have never owned a PSP 3000. What is the latest CFW for this particular machine? Is it the same as the Go, or is there a later version than 6.20 Pro-B10?
I know of places where I can purchase a PSP 3000 for around 50 dollars (plus shipping), and I can get a pretty cheap Memory Stick Pro-Duo at Office Depot for around 10 bucks (for an 8-gigabyte stick; the 16-gig version costs around 15 to 20 bucks).
I would also like to buy a DS, but until I get a job, I'm going to stick to the PSP for now. Besides, I found a really good updated-roster game save for SvR 11 (accurate as of January this year...except for Bray Wyatt and Big E Langston--both of which I could make as CAWs).
The PSP 3000 is even easier to take apart than the PSP Go, and has an easily removable battery in back. As for removing the power switch (to avoid putting the machine to sleep by accident), I'll have to give the machine a good look over to see how this could be done (probably similar to how I did it on the PSP 1000).
Seriously, though--what was Sony thinking, making the power switch be in the exact same place for FIVE consecutive models? All five versions of the PSP (1000, 2000, 3000, Go, and E1000) have the power switch where the heel of your right hand could accidentally nudge it while playing games involving rapid pressing of the Cross and Circle buttons (such as SvR 11). Thankfully, the Vita doesn't have that issue, but the Vita is both more expensive, and harder to hack than the PSP (you need specific PSN games to do so, AFAIK).
