The PSP version you’ve NEVER heard of… 

Cars 2 and Geronimo Stilton, two of the best sources for street knowledge

My grandpa used to say: "psp in the streets, ps vita in the sheets" or something like that idk

most common and cheap PSP console here in Europe ;)

It's always fun seeing the momentary confusion of Americans when they see the international date format.

The squeaking noise can be caused by the UMD motor being not used for a while, it just needs to be used for a bit (maybe for some hours) and it will come back to normal, i have a PSP Street myself (in from italy)

The PSP Street actually looks more premium lol

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="692">11:32</a> It's not glued in. If you take the back piece off and remove the warranty sticker there is a screw with which you can take the cover off and then remove the battery

the PSP Street is pretty solid just as a low-cost, low-risk gaming device similar to the 2DS. I'm in Australlia and my friend had one back in the day just for playing games on the schoolbus, only issue with it was no Ad-Hoc multiplayer so me and my other friends who had PSPs could play stuff like LittleBigPlanet, ModNation Racers and WipEout together on the bus or at recess and poor 'ol Ben who got a PSP Street had to play solo, didn't seem to mind too much though.

Imagine a legit big chungus psp mod

the battery isn't glued in, what you have to do is squeeze the sides of the umd bracket and push it forward, when it's loose, the whole back will come off and then you unscrew the plastic cover, the battery is similar to the one on the ps3 controller

I bought one of these in early 2012! It cost me £90 brand new. Brilliant console, annoying that it was offline only, but I bought a PSP-1000 model later on. The screen is arguably the best one in all PSP models. I will fight to the death about that. I own 2 of these and 2 PSP 1000s but I’ve used every model.

Yooo I heard it’s your 29th birthday today! Happy birthday Jacob. By the way, that was a funny GameStop video yesterday lol

They are region free for games. The only region locking was for the few movies that shipped on UMD.

This model was very popular in Ukraine and Russia. It was cheaper than previous models.

The squeaky noise is because the moving parts in the UMD drive lost their grease. You just have to oil up the gears and motors again to fix it.

Looks kind of like a cassette player when you opened the back (aging myself)

I have a custom one, got it for basically nothing, i had a broken black one, and i bought a white one for 15 euros, it was broken as well, so i made a white and black version, every button is black, even the bar underneath the screen is black on my psp, and i have to say, it looks amazing! Yes the back is a bit finicky, but, if you know how to take it off it is actually easier to get acces to the disk drive, that squeeky noise is because the motor slips on a gear that gets sticky because of the lubricant sony used (very cheap and horrible stuff), clean that out of there, and it works like new! I've put in a battery from a ps 4 controller which is 50mah more than the stock battery, gives me great batterylife.

oh I've heard of this model and was told to avoid at a cost, not only did they cut out the Wi-Fi/internet from it there is AV ports for hooking it up to tv like the 2000-3000 and Go have. This was for all intense purposes a cut down PSP, thankfully they're easy mod unlike the Wii-Mini.

i own a PSP street, it left me some good memories playing fifa 12, tekken 6 and cars 2

nahhh nowadays it lost most of its negativity, internet on the psp doesn't matter nowadays, so it's just a matte black and (somewhat) bulky revision, basically sacrificing a bit of the portability for a stylish / more modern appearance.

Geronimo Stilton is an Italian children's chapter book series.

My friend had this while i had a 3000, we tried to play gt with eachother and always wondered why his never connected to wifi and didnt have a wlan switch

that was a pretty commum option here where I live, cause street was sold on the Europe, had friends here in Portugal that still have it

I had one of these, the matte black looks really nice but the no internet sucks. Don't really care about the mono speaker but the und door is better made

I have my psp street since 9 years still in mint condition, honestly the matte body feels really nice and solid than the fingerprint magnets the other psps are, not that I ever got to hold one in my hands.

"The PSP version you’ve NEVER heard of…" Me: "looking over at my PSP Street with tears in my eyes* "apparently, I have never heard of you... I am sorry!!! American's rule the World, and no matter what I believe, I have never heard of you."

Happy Birthday Jacob R

i used to have psp street now the screen dosent work and the right shoulder button

I have two psp streets and I love them despite the downsides. No wifi (it doesn't matter today), mono speakers (I always use my headphones anyways). I love how this model feels in my hands, it has a better grip than the 2000. Also in previous models the battery cover seems like is going to fall.

I wish Sony made the PSP street more premium. I like the matte finish it has, but not having internet and being cheaper in build are setbacks, not a fan of the buttons, too. If I could build my own dream PSP, it'll probably be the matte finish from Street, the screen from the 3000 (though I heard the Go has a better screen but idk) and give it proper buttons at the bottom, I'd even keep the back piece of the street, but I'll keep the auto opening from the 1000 series, a feature I wish they never removed from later models and obviously make the battery easier to remove.

this is my first PSP lol, look so slick 🤩.

I used to read the Geronimo books. Didnt know there was a game.

Wait what…..are you saying a cost cut version of a product isn’t as good as the original….🙃

Strange that you think that glossy says premium, when I associate glossy with cheap. Matte finishes are nicer to me.

I didn’t know the street model was this uncommon that it would be in a “that you’ve neverrrr heardddd offf” video.

Still have and use my 13 years old psp street. Fully functional on all original parts, so I really can’t complain about the build quality, and I think it looks the best out of all the psp’s too!(limited editions excluded) The screen is imo the best out of all the non-GO models too, if you can get over the dimming when looking at it from underneath. It also feels more comfortable to hold than the slim 2000/3000 models to me due to the extra thickness. The only psp I like to use more is the Monster Hunter limited 3000

Happy birthday! I’ll be 29 at the end of November myself.

My psp street has a really great screen. I have every psp model modded and the street is the one I take everywhere because it’s quite durable. Cheap feeling and loads of plastic, but that’s exactly what makes it durable for travel. Like a big ol dmg. It doesn’t have internet and I kinda like that, it has all the games I could ever want on it from ps1 and psp. Because I use it as my travel psp I’ve grown super attached to it, as a stock psp it’s horrible, but you can do a super big battery mod that utilises the umd drive spot, (you just glue the back on permanently and only play games from memory card) I found myself putting a couple of tiny totoro stickers on it and it feels like a good friend. Now getting a normal psp and putting on a glass lens, ips screen and larger battery is obviously better in every way shape and form, good bang for buck. The street screen should be way better than what you’ve got there which is a shame, it literally shared the same as the 3000 internals and screen specs from memory. I just think it’s like a neat cross over between a dmg and a psp. I fully agree though that it’s not worth the price in America but in Europe and Australia (pal countries) they’re pretty common and cheap if you know where to look. It’s become my favourite psp due to practicality, size and weight and like I said it’s fairly durable. If I could recommend one psp to someone who doesn’t have one it would be the psp go though now that you can expand the memory so much

Yes the PSP is region coded; the one you have there is a region 5 edition (according to what I noticed it says on the box). Not sure if the games you have there are region 5 or not. (Because it is modded, however, it may be that the region code is irrelevant; as this is something that can be done when using a modded/jailbroken device I believe). (Correction - as someone else has said the region code is for movie discs, the games are region free. A mod/jailbreak still would allow this to be no problem. An Action Replay would also allow multi region either way).

This was actually me 2nd version of the PSP that I ever owned 😁

My psp made the same noise even after having it cleaned

"The PSP version you’ve NEVER heard of…" meanwhile me owning this this and whole europe too

Tbf, a well-preserved PSP Street is the best PSP you can get for a reasonable price, especially in central/southern Europe. WiFi is outdated anyway, and the mono speaker isn't an issue, at least for me, since I play mostly with headphones.

Ahh, reminds me of my childhood spent hours and hours on this psp.

Bro, thats my psp

psp street was my first ever handheld, i still have it to this day after YEARSSSS.

That thing was everywhere in Europe at the time, I hated how it felt in the hand.

Hello from Ukraine! I can confirm mine warranty mail from Sony was looking same.

Actually, I did catch the announcement for this PSP version. 99 euros.

Let's just put it this way... I hope the seller accepts returns, lol.

Correction about the psp street (I opened one): The battery is not glued to the console, you can actually replace it but the process is more involved, because you have to take apart the whole back plate of the console, remove a sticker, remove a philips head screw and then you can swap it

This was a fine psp for myself at least, quite quickly i modded it and put emulators on it, it was my favourite. Still got it somewhere at my parents place. Should look for it.

Happy birthday jacob,hope you always the best bro

I have memories of the PSP from my childhood. This was my first own console before I got my 360. I played so much motorstorm it's not even funny.

I remember seeing PSP Street for 1000 UAH in 2013 (like 120$), no wonder it was so popular. Even the cheapest smartphone of the time would cost more and provide worse gaming experience.

I started watching this video by talking with the video: "Today we will look at a PSP you have probably never seen" Me: "except me, because i got one without WLAN and no one likes it, so it must be my PSP"

i actually really enjoy the look of this psp. i think it looks a lot cooler being matte plastic

Psp Street Cost 99$ Brand New In india 😂 i still had one and Its Worth it

The psp street is extremely common in Europe. And ive gotta say, i love it. Its so nostalgic

me when I see that charger: finally a normal charger in a video!

“The PlayStation console you never heard of” bro I have one 😂

The PSP-1000 is still the best model IMO. Kinda like the OG NDS, it's chunkier but it works for the ergonomics. Shame it has only half the RAM.

Why did Sony make this thing? Lol

I wonder if these versions of these games need preserved. If so would you mind dumping them?

Honestly, I absolutely love my PSP Street. Although the build quality is definitely cheaper, the full black, matte design to me is far more pleasing than the glossy fingerprint and scuff magnets of the other models.

I remember seeing the Geromino Stilton books a lot when I was in elementary school.

The paper with "GARANTEE" written in it is the warranty paper. No Im not Russian, its a third language.

There are many older videos of the psp e1000. To say we've never heard of it is an overstatement.

in italy we all had psp street, the goat psp

"Игровая приставка" on the sticker means gaming console.

as a european i remember that was my first handheld device and now i enjoy my ps vita. and yes it was the cheapest psp you could get

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="388">6:28</a> “Yeah, this PSP Street? It’s not good.” *boom*

The date 26/10/12 reads October 26th 2012. It’s the non-US way of writing dates.

Geronimo Stilton is a books trend for kids here in italy... Wtf there are a psp game? In a bundle with these plastic psp version? Amazing

I remember seeing this in magazines thinking that its such a weird design.

i have heard of it. theres loads in the uk

you can little bit oil the rails for the laser. that will help often.

PSP is region free.

Not sure about this version, but my PSP 3000 started squeaking and I think it's just an age thing. I had to open the UMD cover and take off a plastic sticker covering the UMD drive motor near the bottom around the hinge. Once the sticker was off, I could take a q-tip with multi purpose oil and rub it into that motor area. There was a video on RU-vid that helped me figure it out. Not sure if that would work on this model though.

The Street (AKA, E1000) is the only version of the PSP I have never owned.

As ukrainian, i was pretty amazed that PSP was from my home country, lol And it was sold in Foxtrot (Very similar to BestBuy), before occupation in city of Luhansk

I have indeed heard of the PSP Street. I have one in my collection somewhere. I grabbed one after I screwed up a mod on my PSP 3000 series

Ong the Geronimo Stilton books went so hard in elementary.

I lately decide to go buy a PSP when I was in one of the former Soviet countries, and they had 17 of them. They had all models except the Go. I grew up here and I remember Nintendo being the childish company no one cared about. Everyone would but Playstations and play ONLY Fifa on them.

is this video is reuploaded after this was already uploaded 3 hours later?

This is the “ We have psp at home “

NGL that sleek design with the matte black is smooth.

This was my first PSP, it's pretty whatever and kind of useless unmodded but I gotta appreciate it for getting me into PSPs

I have that PSP I’ve had it for the last 2 1/2 years it’s the PSP E1000 mine actually came from Russia with about eight games.

It's so crazy to think that there's so many different variations. It's so cool!

I worked in a retail electronics store at the time, psp 3000 was discontinued then this cheap and nasty e1000 came out. So many customers complaining that they wanted the 3000

PSP is indeed region free for games, but not for UMD Movies.

"the version youve never heard of" me, who bought it as my first psp console & am playing it right now:

It was the most comfortable in hands though.

Man, I always wanted a PSP. Parents got me a DS back then, which is enough. I have so many things that can run PPSSPP now that I dunno if it's worth trying to get one. They are pretty dang cool though.

The PSP Street is the cheapest PSP Sony made they drop a lot of functions . fun fact you have to take the whole back off with the screws and the battery is actually corded with a connector

Every psp I've had has that squeak

Honestly i prefer the matte finish than glossy

The lite version (PSP Street) is thicker, pretty strange

The Street also lacked AV-out capability.
