Damn I feel old that it is now considered retro futuristic. I got one new in 2005 and it was the coolest piece of tech out at the time. It was like if a smart phone relied on CDs to play media and games.
Comment on I Bought a “Junk” PSP From Japan: Here’s How It Went

PSP is peak retro tech. The disk drive mechanism is so satisfying to open and close, popping out the UMD cartridge…
But yes, Japan preserves their old tech, books and games by default. Used items are almost always immaculately kept and sent cleaned up. It’s pretty reliable to buy used in Japan.

That retro futurism it evokes was the prod for me to compile all these images for a PSP ‘scrapbook’ a little while ago

It is such a beautifully designed machine!

Beautiful! Love those billboards. Also reminds me to check out a PSP Go, I bet the slide-out design is cool in person.

Fascinating. Definitely still prefer the Go for retro futurism, though.
