If you're not interested in any current/upcoming Vita games, then disregard that I guess. But it's a good investment for the future IF they get PS1 classics working and get the full library of PSP games on there, which I'm not sure they will.

If you want a fully-featured PSP, I'd recommend the 3000. From what people tell me, it's the best of the proper models, an improvement over 2000 etc. It'll still play UMD's (which you can pick up for peanuts these days) and PS1 classics, which is all you say you wanted.

I'd consider getting an E-1000 as well though. That's the model I'm thinking of getting. I'm told it's a bit smaller & lighter and the display is better. It plays UMD's and PS1 classics, but you'll need a PS3 to hook it up to to download anything, because it doesn't have wi-fi. Which might be a turn off for you if you wanted to play any of the games online as well (I'm not sure whether people still play PSP games online or not)

So yeah, it just comes down to personal preference and what you want to play:

Vita - Vita & some downloadable PSP games currently, have to wait a while for PS1 classics.

3000 - UMD & downloadable PSP games, PS1 classics, online gaming.

E-1000 - UMD & downloadable PSP games, PS1 classics, no online & helps having access to a PS3.
