PSP Pros and Cons List

Which PSP model is right for you?

Such an question is subjective, but here is my personal guide to the different PSP model's pros and cons...

1000:
Pros - Solid feel
Cons - Ghosting, can't connect display to TV

2000:
Pros - Slimmer, better screen, more RAM than 1K
Cons - Ghosting

3000:
Pros - Brighter, better screen, more RAM than 1K, louder speakers, has the most console variations
Cons - Barely noticeable scan lines may be visible in certain situations (how noticeable this is will vary based on the individual)

Go:
Pros - Very portable, can connect/play with dualshock 3, smaller screen + same resolution = sharper display
Cons - No UMD drive (if that matters to you), may be a bit crampy in the hands, memory not as easily/cheaply expendable as other PSPs

Street:
Pros - No ghosting, no scan lines, matte black finish = no finger prints
Cons - Can't connect to TV, mono speaker, non removable battery (well, not easily anyway), viewing angles not as good as other models. No WIFI (no ad-hoc multiplayer)
