Hello! I recently thought about re-acquiring my old vibrant blue PSP 2000 but still have the Vita.
This site has it's lurkers sometimes but otherwise it's pretty dormant. There's one thread that's the most active and it's basically who can have the last post

I still have my original 1000 from like 2006 or so, though it's kinda worn and the analog nub is missing. Haven't tried turning it on.
I have somewhat replaced with a model known as the e1000 which I believe was sold in stores under the name PSP street? It has the same size as the original 1000 but it's much lighter in mass, the memory stick is inserted at the top of the PSP (kinda like a DS game card) and there's a tab at the top to flip open the back plate to reveal the UMD drive and the battery, but it has no Wi-Fi capabilities whatsoever, which is fine for me.
Speaking of which, I remember when the original PSP 1000 first came out, it was consider large and heavy for a gaming portable at the time, but these days it seems quite small compared to the Steam Deck and the Switch in handheld mode, but it still feels heavier than the Switch and I haven't even touched a Steam Deck.

Size creep has affected many portable electronics, with phones being the most notable.
From some searches, PSP 1000 has a weight of 280g, Switch is 398g (with JoyCons attached or 297g without), and Steam Deck (original) is around 640g.
The Switch having a lower weight density probably gives it the illusion of being lighter than the PSP.

Still got all my original PSP consoles! Love the Vita too, and that gets more use as its PS1/PSP/Vita all rolled into one.
Can't get enough of portable consoles still. Would love a Steam Deck...

Still have my imported Japanese white PSP1000 and use it all the time.
Each of my three kids have their own PSP1000 units as well. The oldest wants to get a Vita though.
