Sony's PSP consoles are lucky enough to have their own LGPT build. The units are extremely well built and feature bright clear screens, rechargeable batteries, and easy USB connectivity for copying projects/samples/new builds. Pictured above are the original PSP-1001 model and the relatively recent PSP GO.

There are some differences in models but they are generally only "cosmetic". Here's some things to remember:

1000 - Original "fat" model. Has 32 megs of ram. Storage via Memory Stick Pro Duo. [the most comfortable handheld I've ever used. -ed]

2000/3000 - Updated "slim" models. Has 64 megs of ram. Storage via Memory Stick Pro Duo. 3000 features a built in microphone for if/when that ever becomes important. Both versions have audio and video out (thru a proprietary cable) for big screen piggin'.

GO - Much smaller and with a slide-up screen. No UMD slot which means no moving parts. Has 16 gigs of internal storage expandable to 32 gigs with a Memory Stick 2. Layout feels similar to a GBASP. No A/V out. One nice feature is that the charge cable doubles as a USB cable for PC connectivity.

VITA - [not sure, need to research -ed]

E1000 - Stripped down model with no Wifi, mono speaker, and no A/V out. Matte finish is pretty cool.

The simplest answer is "get some custom firmware on there"!
If that is to much work for you (and sometimes it's really a pain) then use HalfByte Loader: http://wololo.net/hbl/
Be sure to download the version that matches your official firmware!

Unless you're very concerned about hearing loss (ya wimp) go to Settings > Sound Settings and turn all the options off. We don't want key clicks or crappy limiting/compression screwing up our hard work.
