You can get an original PSP and a micro sd to mem stick adapter on ebay and jailbreak it, takes 5 minutes. The 3000 is probably the best model regarding accessory availability and performance but I’ve got the PSP 1000, 3000 and the PSP go and they all do the job.
Comment on PSP games that are enjoyable without the nostalgia-factor

The 1000 is a little big/heavy for my taste but I’m really tempted to get one for the IPS mod…

I’ve got big hands so that’s probably the one I use the most but I removed the optical drive to make it lighter 😄 The screen upgrade is barely noticeable tbh even with the 1000. If it’s not broken I wouldn’t bother. What you can do to improve the screen situation is get a glass faceplate. Day and night difference.

Probably easier at this point to get a Deck, or other portable gaming rig, and emulate.
The discs are not cheap, and we’re fragile even back in the day.

The digital store might still open. I know you can buy games off the Vita’s store still (but you have to use an older style WIFI that is sometimes relegated to guest WIFI and you have to preload the money from another source).

PSP’s store closed a looooooong time ago. Used to be that you could purchase stuff from the PS3’s store and use a USB cable to transfer the license, but after Sony enabled 2FA that route closed as well.

Maybe it’s that you can still download stuff on the PSP store, but you have to buy it from somewhere else like the PS3 or Vita stores. I’ll have to check and get back.
Yeah, I had a lot of PSP games saved on my PS3. That sucked when they got rid of transfers. If I remember right, it blocked save transfers for PS1 games too, which was a huge bonus from back in the day. Play on the road, then continue your game on the PS3.

Get a Vita. It basically has a PSP built in. It’s super easy to hack too which will give you a ton of improvements and options (like remixed controls for some PSP games so you can enjoy them with twin sticks) - it’s awesome.
