Realistically you're probably looking at an 80% chance of a console like this having some kind of fault, but usually they'll be repairable.
I'm confused .. how is shipment from Japan to Australia half way around the world?
After buying several used goods in Japan, my impression is that junk simply means the seller does not want to hear complaints over old items, so they sell it at a lower price. I have bought many perfectly working items sold as such. Of course buying old stuff requires some ability to do simple repairs. That’s part of the fun.
I still have my jailbroken PSP, back from my school days. Great fun for playing emulated PS1 games. I imagine joysticks and buttons on modern handhelds are considerably better though.
"This isn’t some modern, streamlined soft‑mod. This is peak late‑2000s PSP scene energy."
"The PSP isn’t just nostalgia. It’s still a genuinely great handheld."
Once you start noticing the AI artifacts, it's hard to keep interest in TFA.
