I play games often and sometimes I just feel like playing something but not on a console, you know what I mean? Just chill on your bed and playing something and I borrowed a PSP 3000 from my friend and I enjoyed it a lot! So I was thinking of buying one and I have 300$ to buy accesories and stuff. BUT My friend is offering to sell me his for 110$ with The PSP 300, A Traveler Case, 1GB memory stick, Ratchet and Clank Size Matters, Star Ocean 1 and 2 and the PSP 3000 seems like brand new and I even played it for a couple days and works like a charm! So should I buy it then I can use my other 200$ for new stuff for it, or should I buy a brand new one (my friend's PSP is 2 years old now) and buy the other stuff myself leaving me with only 50-100 bucks left.Thanks.

If it looks brand new, I say why not? It's not like PSPs come with one time activation codes. I'd say what he's offering is definitely worth $110. I doubt you'd find a better deal without hours of searching.

On a side note, tell your friend he should be ashamed for selling off his beloved PSP. That's like selling off your first born. Once Type-0 comes out, go back to him and rub it in his face.

I bought my PSP brand new, but it was some time ago. With all these rumors of a new PSP or PSPfone coming out, i wouldn't recomend buying a new PSP. Take the used one from your friend. Even because if a new version of PSP is released the prices in the stores are going to drop and you will feel terrible.. lol

Snatch up your friend's deal. New PSP's are pretty expensive, and you're getting like games and all the accessories you need and games and crap. I got my PSP 3000 (used), with screen protectors, a memory stick, and 2 games all for like $200. So yeah, jump all over that, man.

Although it isn't a deal-breaker... do you like they games he's throwing in? Even if you don't, you can sell them and get ones more suited to your liking... I bought my first PSP off a friend for around the same price and ended up selling 3 games he tossed into the deal to get ones I enjoyed more. Great deal all around, for a hundred spot...

I have a bit of a motto on this; "If you can't find a friend to sell you one, buy it new. A friend's not going to sell you junk."

If I were you, I'd buy his system off of him, because at least you get a rough history of what the thing's been through if you need to. Accessories and games are expensive too, so what he's got for you is a sweet deal, since you're getting several games, a system, and the case...and sure, you get a 1 GB memory stick, but now you have the rest of your money to buy a MASSIVE memory stick, and a few more games.

All in all, I'd take this deal if I were you...after all, I got my PSP Go by buying off of my brother, and that little gizmo is amazing.
