I prefer the PSP 1000 to be honest. It may be heavier than the others, but as long as you’re not planning to carry it around in your pocket its fine. It’s also much stronger, and it has a nicer screen than the 2 and 3000. I’m not sure if you can still get them though. I would go with the PSP 3k in your case. In some cases, especially with me, games, even small ones, take such a long time to download, and they become a pain. I’m currently resisting buying the PSP GO until they give us something new. For example a touch screen, or a second analogue stick.
