Actually a strap is more than enough for protection. If you want you can get those Logitech Play Gear protection covers.

The only way you can break your PSP is well... ummm use your imagination ;)

Your PSP would "break" for the usual reasons. You drop it, you subject it to high levels of impact, you store it in a hot area. It's an electronic device like any other, so you should take care of it like so. I would advise buying a screen protector. The LCD screen easily gets marked with thumbprints, and if you or your friends who borrow your PSP have sweaty hands... Well, let's just say it won't be pretty after. There will be grease, muck and whatnot stuck on your screen. Also, most screen protectors come with a screen wiping cloth so you can keep that to clean your LCD. I would also advise you to buy a casing for your PSP, unless you like to relish in scratches. Especially if you have plans of putting it in your bag... The casing, be it soft pouch or a hard metal casing or airfoam pouch, will really help in making sure your PSP doesn't get damaged or scratched accidentally by mundane things such as the other stuff in your bag, or you being in a bad mood and slamming your bag on the floor. And, I would also like to add that the hard casings usually have extra pockets for your UMDs or headphones. So it's really useful. Strap isn't as important I suppose, it's just to help you carry the thing. It depends on you. I have friends who tie their PSP to a lanyard and just sling it around their neck and bring it along. And I don't know if PSP-2000's are still around. I thought they phased them out and are only selling PSP-3000's now. But I'm guessing there are still some leftover stocks in some stores. hehe :) Congratulations on the PSP!

There are still PSP-2000s but there selling them seperately ( around 169.99 CAD) . Mabi878 has the right idea, to prevent your psp from getting damaged or chipped or anything, buy the soft pouch, or the hard casing. ( Theres a zipper one that you can store 3 games inside, your psp, and you can store your headphones if you have ; like what mabi878 had stated earlier. ) The screen protector is really good, except that I hear that there a lot of problems with it. It can make your screen more blurry, it can leave air bubbles on the screen, etc. ) Its all up to what you want. Best of luck :)

buy a hard case, I recomend a crystal case and maybe a pouch to keep the crystal case from scratches. Sounds a little paranoic but I have mine like that hehe I also have a screen protector :P
