Well the obvious...

Check for scratches on the screen.
Any dead pixels or stuck pixels (somewhat common.)
Make sure the buttons work properly
Watch for any signs of being dropped.
What firmware version (the older ones can be used for *cough* some games - but I don't run any so it's no big deal unless you want to.)
Make sure the battery is original.
Check the wifi and see if that works.

But a PSP is the BEST peripheral that I've ever owned. It plays games, its a great MP3 player too (love the sound.) Surfs the net.

Make sure you have a somewhat bigger MemoryStick Pro Duo though (I have a 1GB one.) I can also fit in movies onto it (must be encoded to MP4 though.)

In fact here's a link for a free software that converts avi or mpeg videos to MP4.

PSP Video 9. It's great!

Have fun with it! Let me know if you have any questions.

that's for the long ans!!

i read from other forum, seem like quite alot of users hv dead pixel or stuck pixel on their sets. is the LCD really that vulnerable?

oso heard only v1.5 can play homebrew games and seem like v1.5 has a better value than the new version. i thot of getting new version since it's cheaper & dwngrade its OS myself. issit advisable.
