So my obsession with Sony’s hardware design is no secret, especially when it comes to the PSP. When I compare it to the handhelds released around that time, it just kinda…kicks butt.
I thought it might be nice to write up an article on both my experiences buying a cheap PSP from Japan (listed as “junk”…which to be fair in Japan has a totally different meaning!), and detailing how to do the same if you’re looking for reasonable quality and prices, in 2026.


In the end, mine arrived with an ancient jailbreak from 2009 already used. And since writing and posting this (my will is weak), I’ve already ordered another, in excellent condition and complete-in-box.
Anyway, if you want to read along with my adventure, read my tips on how to buy a cheap PSP in 2026, or just share in some PSP nostalgia, then as ever my article is here:

Either you or whoever made this article made it near impossible to order this. Please post a link, it’s one of the very first things that made the Internet what it is.
This comment is sponsored by at least ten motherfuckers that either didn’t look at the post, or did and didn’t try to click links, or are the most brandead motherfuckers of all time. Prove me wrong.
I get you, its not here in the post but there is a sectiom caled where to buy in the article with pictures and logos and all
Yeah, but is there a link you can use or is it just you finding out how just like I complained about?
The clearly and repeatedly say the website they ordered it on, to the point where the post feels like an advertorial.
