Hackable?
Accurate as of 2 April 2011, all PSPs are currently hackable. However, we do not provide such services as it is illegal. We do not recommend you pay for this type of service as it is expensive. You'll have to pay with every update and some new games need to be patched before they can be played too. In short, you might as well stick to original games.

If you really want to hack your PSP, please do some research. Here is a link to get you started.

What to buy?
For PSP Go, you only need a screen protector and a casing. Buy your games from Sony Playstation Network online. For PSP 3000, you should consider the All-in-1 bundle and console. There is a $4 discount if you buy a bundle and the console!

What is in the bundle?
Screen Protector: A must. The screen is big and scratches easily.
Memory Stick Pro duo: Space to store your games, videos, music and more!
Data Cable: Do check out this link to check if you already have one at home.
Choice of Casing or Pouch: Protection for your PSP.
