    Is there a reason like it plays better or just personal choice.

    PSP Phat has 32mb RAM.

    PSP Slim has 64mb RAM.

    I have both..

    But would give up my slim before my phat anyday.

    I just prefer it all round. Lighter, smaller, way better dpad. People always say they like the phat if they have big hands, which I do, but still love my slim way more. If you can get a star wars one (white) or daxter one (silver) those for sure are moddable.. but if its from a pawn shop its not likely going to be the very newest model anyway, so you'll likely be fine

    yeah the guy said they were newer but hey its a pawn shop so they will say anything. Is there a way to tell by turning it on or reading the SN #?

    I soon realized it was there and I thought I broke it.

    With my phat it's like a rock in my pocket, I'm not forgetting.

    But I love my phat with or without the weight, just the overall feel.

    Turn it on and check the firmware version.

    Anything over 4.00 is fine.

    That sucks about your slim. I already have a cfw so i was going to softmod a battery to CFW the slim. But isnt the TA-088 V3 the board that cant be pandora'd? Why would it matter if you were on 4.00 or over if its OFW?

    Hey, best way to know for sure is if you can bring a pandora and mem stick with you, not like it takes more than 2 seconds to confirm it with that.

    Good thinking. I have never done this before. Do i just pop the battery and mem stick in and what try to run the program?
