post pics of your handhelds to me I will rate them from 0/10

(spoiler warning, every rating will be a 10. it'll be like we rate dogs, only better)

@Nine time to show off my babies (I apparently don't have a good photo of my PSP Go on my phone, and I've lent it to my dad rn, but I assure you it's beautiful)

@noiob wow, that last-model PSP looks so tiny, i didn't know it was so compact. a little tempting.

@gatewave it's a wonderful little console! a little short on storage since it's 16GB internally and without mods it only takes M2 (basically small Memorysticks). Might be a problem if you want to carry a lot of PSP games, those are usually a few gigs. There's a hardware mod thing but I haven't done it

@gatewave oh yeah and it's the second-to-last model, the PSP Street came afterwards, it's the budget model which looks pretty cool but from.what I've heard feels and is super cheap

@noiob aw jeez i forgot about the street, what a piece of junk

yeah the proprietary storage sitch sucks (possibly worse on Vita, which has corruption issues). i'd only use it for PSP games i think. for GBA i'd rather have a nice modded GBA and console games are better on CRTs / emus with good shaders.

@gatewave It's great as a portable PSX and you can hook it up to a tv via component and use a Dualshock 3 as a controller (needs a PS3 to pair though, there used to be PC software but it's long gone). I just wish there was a way to get the dock for a reasonable price, so I can have it plugged into power and video at the same time
