Which PSP Should I get?

I'm thinking of getting a psp and I have two choices

A PSP S&L which comes in around £100 for just the console

or

A PSP 3000 at around £150 which usually comes in a bundle (£140 for just the console but I can't find it in black on game where i have points to spend)
If I do get the 3000 I can trade in the games so that's not a worry but it it more worth getting the 300 over the s&l?

I appreciate all views, and don't tell me to get a DS instead as I already have one
Cheers

do you reaaaalllly want a PSP, or would it just be nice to have. I bought a PSP when it first came out and i'll be honest, ive not completed a game for it. I feel it has nothing special to offer tbh, as a piece of hardware its very sexy and ticks the right boxes but the games don't take advantage of its unique capabilities, the best games on it are more often than not second rate PS2 games (MGS: PO, GoW: CoO etc) and I'd rather just play them on the big screen. Some decent old school games though (Power stone, oh yes), and a good time killer but for me no real staying power.

However whether you get a PSP doesn't seem to be the issue here, you want to choose between the PSP lite (2001) and PSP 3000, in that regard there doesn't seem to be much difference, this article here sums up the differences between the two quite nicely (http://uk.gamespot.com/features/6196930/index.html). If your going to spend that kind of money might as well splash out a bit extra and get the best you can, but take into consideration memory sticks, if the PSP 3000 comes with a bigger memory stick, this only sweetens the deal.

*Edit* oh and I'm suprised I never mentioned this earlier but OUTLAW STAR FUCK YEAH!!!

I do want a Psp and there are a few games that i've been looking at, but my Ds library consists of only 20 games, of which half belong to my mother (eg Brain Training)
I've managed to find it solely at hmv for a couple of quid cheaper than game which is good so I reckon i'll go for the 3000

Plus it nice to find another OS fan!

finally?

I'll assume by 'GO!' you mean the PSP GO! (and are not making a subtle OS reference). Now I thought the original PSP was a sexy peice of kit, but now we've got its barely legal little sister comming out and giggidy giggidy, but an estimated retail of £250!? that puts it £50 below the current PS3 price point and I know what I'd rather buy, plus the aforementioned lack of good games (on both for that matter).

Nice! slipping in the casual Family Guy reference

Tbh, I have a psp ( 1000, aka fat ) And used it a few times at first but then lay it to rest after a few months. I recently hacked it and put custom firmware on it which allows me to play any game including emulators. So if you're up for the challenge of getting an old one (either 1000 or 2000, the 3000 and GO are not hackable) then you can but custom firmware on it and have a blast.

Hacked you say? , it jus so happens that my model is the original one (1000?), is it hard to do?
