Hello guys. I've been reading your forums and gaining lots of insight. I've been thinking about getting a psp but wanted to know a few things first. Sadly, the salesmen at the local Best Buy and Circut City couldn't help me at all. This however, seems like the place to get some answers. So guys, thanks for your help in advance.

1.Is everything on the PSP proprietary (hope i spelled that right or close)? Can i plug a usb 20 flash drive into the usb port or will it not read it? Can I plug a portable dvd player in there? Can I play old ps and ps2 games with it and how can I do this if it's possible?

2.I understand that a new model PSP is coming out in september. Would it be a good idea for me to wait and buy one then, or should I get the current model now before it's too late? How much trouble will it be to hack the new model, if anyone knows the answers to that one?

3. And finally, what is a PSP elite model? Unless I'm dreaming I could have sworn I heard this mentioned somewhere.

Thanks for all of your help guys. Looking forward to trading info with you all after I purchase my PSP. Can't wait. Until then, I'll keep reading and learning. Oh and by the way, sorry I posted this here. I know I should have posted under "introducing myself" but it doesn't seem like anyone has been there in some time. Hope this doesn't upset anyone.

my opinion you should buy the old PSP and please attention on PSP firmwere... if you can go get the older version.. just don't get the new one..
with the old firmwere you can change it into custom firmwere made by darkalex... with this custome firmwere you can play GBA, SNES,NES, PSX,PC games dll...
don't get the news firmwere cause you must wait someone to crack this ofical firmwere into cutome firmwere...
