“Why dont you make a ps5 portable “ that aged well 😂😂
but turned out ass fr
@@pablito9096Robloxthat’s not a PS5 portable. According to rumors they’re making a handheld that can natively play games.
@@Fetidaf oh really? thatd be better than the portal
This was such an insane innovation. The ability to watch movies in what felt like HD at the time, games that felt like ps2 level games, play music, go on the internet... This thing was amaaaaazing! When I got out of basic training this was the first purchase I made. I LOVED my PSP. Still have one. Actually I have 4 lol
Ur a legend dawg I hope your life is blessed
Still got a psp too
PSP-ness, the glorified M-rated item. “It’s so much smaller than I remember!”
😆
😂
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
That's what she said
This brought me so many memories of my childhood. You can't explain the joy a psp owner would feel when they meet another person with the same games in the wild. Metal gear peace walker co-op, Dragon ball, GTA liberty city stories gang wars and need 4 speed. I'm just getting a little teary eyed just from thinking about it.
Need for speed was the shit
I remember my cousin has one too, and we spend time almost everyday playing psp
Miss those fun days.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ super fun games
@@koocies5364 trueeeee
I've always wanted a PSP when I was a kid but we couldn't afford video game consoles. Now that I have a decent paying job, I'm now planning to buy the things I wanted as a kid.
The greatest console ever made. I've had one in my pocket through travel and work and whatever for well over a decade, and it still rules. Hell, through modding the PSP game modding scene is surprisingly lovely.
Im so happy to hear that
Now all we need is a version of the PS Vita that doesn’t have a pesky expensive memory card
Pretty sure they made a device for it
You can mod/jailbreak PS Vita now and are able to use micro SD cards on it now... It's been that way for years.
is not ps vita is ps penis
For the PSP, they made an adapter that resembled the long discontinued Memory Card of that system so it could fit Micro SD's. If I recall correctly, both the PSP GO and the PSV relied on the also discontinued M2 Memory Card. Don't they already make something like that for those?
@@dylives7667 You are thinking of things like the CR-5400 for the PSP which you can still find on Amazon for example as for the PSV I would NOT be surprised if a similar device exists to be able to use msd cards on it.
i still remember the day it came out. I was living in Ukraine as a child at that time. Went to this big electronics store and there was this shiny brand new psp behind the glass , running some of the game demos... Never wanted anything more in my life when i saw that beauty. Graphics on it looked like something out of this world for me . Unfortunately we were poor and it costed three times more what my parents make in one month. I wanted it so bad... So my father decided to finance it for me at crazy high APR haha. I was the coolest kid on the block , none of my friends even knew this thing existed. Games were also ridiculously expensive. I would play one game and then trade it on the market for another. But after custom firmware came out... that was the best thing that ever happened to my childhood. Now i could play all the games i wanted hahah.
Damn dude, yeah I've visited Ukraine, calling your country poor is just being polite. Back then when the psp came out it would have been worth like half a years rent in most places there. That's awesome of your dad.
Your dad is an incredibly kinda man
@@videogamefreak221122 kinda
You are boss for typing this long comment
you do know this is probably fake
BROOO 17:00 when "Home" starts playing. That unlocked some memories right there!!!! sick video!
The PSP & Vita are still damn cool devices. Sony f'n nailed it back in the day. I want all of those accessories for my PSP's please Austin
"How many PSP's do we have for this video" Ken: yes
Yes
@Beluga Junior Beluga Fan ✌🏼😎
@@ronald8146 beluga is amazing
These things are LIMITED DAAYYUUUMMNN
I’ll never forget playing Medal Of Honor Heros online during the glory days of the PSP. 32 players was truly legendary for 2006. I miss those handheld days 😢
omg yes it was so fun. socom fireteam bravo was amazing as well
sheesh a true TBT. Aiming using the buttons was so clunky but the best we had back then haha
Mine was Killzone Liberation. I loved that game so much.
I have a pep and medel of honer
That brought back so many memories with that UMD demo disc with the three Days grace music video on it 🤣🤣🤣
Bro predicted the future by predicting the ps5 portal though not being portable
"I'm slowly being surrounded by PsPness" Who's gonna tell him 😥
U do it
Yes 😈

I love that he revisited the psp to show that it basically did what the switch does, but 12 years ago
I mean I feel like they couldn't make the psp but with ps4 qualities. I still have my psp.
PSP and psvita technical had more feature than the switch too lol crazy
@@alexbrooks2911 The switch just seems to be one of those items, that more often than not, people only have because it is popular. I remember in high school ppl would try to say that I was broke for having a psp and then brag about how the switch has 1080p resolution lol. Like some kids don't even understand why they have a switch except to use it as a flex.
Psp and Psvita are still superior to a Nintendo Switch in features
@@mauryj.3415 Big time. It seems like nintendo controls more of what you do than did sony.
My psp was everything to me. i got it for my 7th birthday and it came with a disk that had a bunch of rock music videos on it and thats how i found three days grace. THEN we found out we could download music from limewire and get any song we wanted. I remember having over 500 songs on it. Still have it too just needs a battery and a back cover
I still use my PSP at work occasionally lol 🤓whenever I don't have access to the laptop or network goes down. Modding scene was super fun to dive into back in the day too and it all still works today.
Ken: do a Lewis impression, just knock them all off. Gotta love the F1 humour.
Ouch 😂
The controversy lol
Damn HAHAHA
Sad bottas won’t get recognized for his duty
Too good🤣🤣
"To be fair, that's why we all wanted the PSP." I died lmao
I had a PSP 1000 back in the day, around 2009-2010, my dad for my birthday got me a PSP 1000 model because my uncle had a PSP 2000. He said it was the cheapest model he could find. I was still happy with it. Sadly I lost it when the UMD drive broke and couldn't close. But recently I bought a PSP 3000 from a friend of mine. Reliving the memories with that thing
3:18 Lmao it wouldn’t be so funny if it wasn’t so true. The PSP was a little boy’s most cherished device back in the mid to late 2000’s
No joke though, I would buy a “ps5 portable” within minutes of hearing about it Edit: yes I have heard of their weird new thing, and yes I am sorry for jinxing us all
I mean you would try and because Sony could only make like 1500 for your region they would all be gone before you heard about it.
@@sgtmoose1942 man I spent months hunting for a ps5 for my brother. If it was for me, I’d eventually find one
When psp came it was a bit worse than ps2 graphics. Ps vita was a bit worse than Ps3 graphics. I think they would be able to match ps4 graphics now though, maaaybe even a little better too. And that would be sick on a handheld console, i would grab it!
@@JimRuben like the steam deck can

Austin: “Over whelmed with PSP-ness” Y’all sure as hell know what it sounded like 😂 👀
6:20 hahahah
He obviously knew.
I still remember one of my old school friends having this and once he took it to school on a school anniversary celebration day and it was so fun. Man I miss the old times
PSP FW 1.5 brought a lot of needed features to the psp and it was a milestone for the platform. It was the best Custom Firmware for several years, ppl would sell PSPs with CF 1.5 for double the price
You mean firmware 2.0 not 1.5
I just love that Austin is at the point where he fully admits that he watches the forbidden videos haha. But really what teenage boy hasn't hahaha
I put a useless response here but I realised it was useless so I deleted it.
It really was a gateway for the new generation of perverts.
@@Madderthanjoker I never knew people watched that on their psp
I remember a schoolmate of mine watching while in class
What forbidden video? I was 5 years old when I first had my PSP.
Austin: I'm building the ultimate PSP! The PS Vita: Am I a joke to you?
No not the vita😭😭😂😂
It's a joke compare to the psp
Yes ps vita is a joke
Ps vita is a dead joke. Butchered by sony from the very start.
@@bloeckmoep Ps vita been a joke dead since the very dawn of time it , it just hasn't realize it for yet.
Just found your channel! love the video! so nice to relax to
I still have mine. Lost all the games but damn that's nostalgic
You can go online and get every game, people have cracked the games and made it available to play digitally
@@Invasive_Kat Physical games for the psp are very cheap, so that's not necessary.

PSP-ness. It really changes phrases like "enable my PSP output", "We got PSP ... on the big screen" and "I need an ultimate PSP"
it's almost like a bunch of old technology is not working as well as it should
3:00 me too Austin, but why are you so loud about it 😭 🤣
You guys are the coolest nerds lol I’ve learned so much watching your videos, thank you
Man I remember the PSP blowing my tiny mind when it came out. It seemed like it could do anything compared to a DS and GBAsp
Same here. It was my portable game console, music & video player, and internet browser all before I had a smartphone
@@blkbrry4375 downloading porn two don't remember if it had a flash player

“Put on your best Lewis impression. Knock them out of the track” That’s deep

ohno
@LILDAVIDO Ok thnx.
Man since that British GP, the world’s view on Hamilton had changed
Oh wow wtf 😂
we all get our start somewhere austin. used a dsi for some of my firsts.
6:21 is what you came here for, "I'm slowly being overwhelmed by PSPenis" 😂
if the psp makes a comeback, i will get it. I really love the memories and nostalgia the psp gave me in my childhood.
Psvita?
@@alvaromarjalizo5904 psvita gang rise up
There is an IPS panel kit available for the PSP 1000 series, so you can have a better screen, but with the same resolution of course. I think that stands for the base of an ultimate PSP :) .
Buying this. Anyone know if I can replace my dpad? It drifts pretty bad, it's the main reason I stopped using it :(
I still have my original PSP from 2005. It's in absolutely mint condition and I absolutely love it still.
Sniffing the case like it’s crack 😂
Austin : "is on air" Ken : "throws 1000 psp"
Getting this thing for Christmas after begging for it for two years was the most awesome thing ever I'll never forget it !! I got atv off-road fury with it as my first game as well as GTA vice city ! 😆👍
The PSP was something I wasn't able to get my hands on during it's relevance. I'm 21 now and back when I was about 12 I traded MX vs ATV Reflex Wii game for a PSP 3000, WWE Smackdown, and GTA LCS. A great trade. I remember having my dad learn how to use 7zip and following along a tutorial on CFW for it with him. Great great times. PSP is long gone now, but I still emulate it on my Nvidia Shield Portable almost everyday
It's so cool to see someone grooving on the Sony PSP , it was ... And still is one of the greatest pieces of gaming tech
3:28 almost every teenager that had a psp was probably watching what Austin was watching at that time lol
watching? you mean downloading it first and then.. :D
1000%
They took longer to download when I was stealing that wifi lol
Can't wait till you build the Ultimate Steam Deck. Until then, you could build the Ultimate PS Vita.
This needs to pick up steam
@@leonardorodriguez-cuba4358 Excellent pun 😂😂😁😎
True
Can't wait till he builds the ultimate 3ds 😅
the PSP 1000 UMD door reminds me of popping a MiniDisc in my walkman, I think they took some inspiration from the MD players they made in the 90's --> early 2000's
Great job austin another great video idc how old the video is
7:30 I guess when working with old or even new technology, turning something off and on again is always a good solution

i literally have an OG PSP that needs an analog stick and a housing, a PSP 2000 that needs and screen and a PSP 3000 that just needs a battery and a new usb port all laying in a storage container. This video has inspired me to fix them

Dude, I feel you. I went from a Game Boy Color to a PSP too. I jailbroke mine with a pandora battery, such a cool device that allowed for some fun tinkering. I also had the Vita, didn't have the same feel to it, but was also a great device. Just gives us a new PS portable Sony!
what's a Pandora battery?
@@daveraschke It allowed your system to go into "reset mode" which then allows you to install custom systems. It was pretty neat!
@@cajogos huh thats pretty interesting
Pandora battery was a tool developed to flash the firmware on your PSP battery to convert it into one of the batteries they used in the Sony service center to put it into a special diagnostic mode that allows you to write any firmware to the system without verification of it first so you could use it to convert the PSP onto custom firmware.
Bro u just unlocked a memory with the Pandora battery
I always loved how he just throws hella more gems 💎
I loved the way how u make a video mahn keep it real yihaaa love from canada 🇨🇦🇵🇭
PSP 3000 is my first console. I love it so much I gave it a facelift just recently. Then put on a custom firmware and run a GBA emulator to play the GBA games I missed 😆
Hear something weird. Beginning my psp wasn't hack. I still able play gba

My first psp was e1000 And 2nd is 3002 the e1k is ded but the 3002 still rocks!!!
Playing Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on this made me the "boy with the most advanced technology and games" at that time. Ooh the nostalgia!
Bro that game absolutely slapped! One of the best on the psp
If u played mgs on psp u r automatically a cool guy in my eyes
I used to have that last speaker that was showcased! That thing bumps. Loved it. That was basically my JBL speaker hahaha. Used it to listen to music mainly. Man the memories
I love how he kept saying 32 Gigabyte, when it was a 32 Megabyte card. Oh man, so little storage.... I remember the 2GB cards being crazy and the 4GB cards were insane and expensive. Also, who else was a fan of Coded Arms? I loved that game, and I still load it up to play occasionally.
Coded arms is amazing! And now there's SD card mods for 256GB... Insane how big that is compared to the first cards...
I had a 16GB card, got it from a used PSP that was full of gay porn... that was the price to pay I guess hahaha!!
@@AmazingFrenchman good to know
All i would play is little big planet coded arms and megamind but i couldnt save proggress as i had no sd card
impossible for me to buy a 2 gig back then. Had to keep my 32mb.

Dude. Dude. This was cinema. Like I came here for nostalgia and PSP-NESS . And it feels like a beautifully put together sitcom. It all so natural. I can’t describe past that. Feels like a good ol’ episode of Seinfeld
I had the aluminum theater case thing. I was in the Army at the time, and we would take it to the field. A couple soldiers had them. We would play multi-player tiger woods and madden. Watch Chappelle show, listen to music. I love it.
i only have psp for like a year before it gather dust on the attic, i can't believe how nostalgic this feel despite that
The PSP was one of the best consoles ever
Facts the PSP can play movies music and games with God of War and Gran Turismo
I remember that my dad bought me an 16GB MS with the PSP for my birthday, and after that I discovered that the thing came with a 8GB MS. That was the time in which I was a teenager too and also I discovered illegal video downloads. I destined my 16 GB MS to games, emulators and music videos. But when the night came, I replaced the 16GB with the 8GB. The rest you can figure it out. It was my old faithful until it stopped working. Then I have discovered the power of the iPhone (and also that was the time in which I started my active life on…well, that, so it wasn’t necessary anymore). So I destroyed that card and the PSP was recycled for good.
this brings me so many memories
bro predicted the future💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
The psp was way ahead of its time. Still the best looking portable console.
@@Aether755 nah psp.
@Zmanoklahoma they both look good. The psp looks better than its competition at the time but the switch nowadays looks better but it isn't even a fair competition
@@Aether755 The psp is beautiful man, I love the 2000 than the 3000 though

3:35... Man I was gonna feel weird at first typing that but thank you Austin for saying it first, I was 16 and my bro was 12 when we got ours in 2006 lmfao soooo many saved videos hahaha
I have my psp 3000 modded with infinity 2.0, and it’s great for portable retro gaming. Thinking about picking up a PS Vita for modern portable gaming, and having the psp for the retro stuff.
ur one of those channels that inspires me id love it if u'd do a ps vita, building the ultimate ps vita pls
It just feels nostalgic. My dad was once on a tour to Singapore for business back in 2010. He bought the psp 3000 for me. Ahh. Memeories : *refresh*
This is your best ultimate system video. The PSP is still my pick for the greatest handheld of all time and more people should respect it. The UMD format in particular deserves way more respect too. So many good movies on that format.
I grew up with a PSP but calling it greatest handheld is a bit of a stretch. And despite it having great movies, the UMD format itself was dogshit especially with how fragile those things were.
"So far ahead of it's time": **.......only one analog stick**
Super fun video ! thx
This is so nostalgic. I loved to play on my psp. I had a jailbroken psp and I could play any game for free. Love psp so much
& so does my PSP go.
the psp really was like a mini computer at that time. video,music, photo, internet, skype, you could even buy BD and comic book at one time on the store. and with CFW, you could play nearly every emulator that exist at the time. there was also movie on UMD. i remember watching spiderman 2 on a UMD and it really feel like the future. in 2006, you had bluray disc, hd-dvd, or the superior version UMD video for your psp.
Crazy I still own most of everything that has been shown, I got handfuls of accessories and a couple still sealed, own 2 psp 1000, a psp 2000 also the psp go and I have the black and silver cameras. Tons of movies and games, still a handheld I play today
Bro PSP still looks modern to this day. You could do so many. Customize the theme, movies, music, games, umds, internet surfing. I'd sport the psp along with the latest smartphone if it gets an upgrade tbh
when I had a psp growing up, I would connect it to our 65" sony tv and play GTA Vice City Stories. What a great time. Probably not the best idea to have an 8 year old playing gta though lmao

The PSP launched the same year I started my first job, probably one of my first big purchases. Still got my original PSP1000 plus another one that I picked up later when they were selling for next to nothing. They're both about 2ft from where I'm sitting right now. Keep meaning to get new batteries for them and charging adapters as god knows where the hell the originals disappeared to. May upgrade the screen while I'm at it as I know you can get much higher quality screens for them now, better colour reproduction, no ghosting etc.
i still have my PSP which i bought in 2013. still works as fine as the day I bought it. i also jail broke it and played a lots of different games. god father, god of war, god of war chains of olympus, assassin creed bloodlines ,gta liberty city, vice city need for speed, and burnout legends which was way ahead of its time.

The PSP was my favorite console for a long time! It was kind of wacky downloading games for it, I remember having to download them in the PS3 and then transferring to the psp. Great console, only looses to the PSVita, that is high underrated.
