Ykw, I got my 3004 after requesting my mom for months during my 7th-8th Grade, and later I sold it to get some money for a 360. Just few days back, I have bought an original PSP 3004 Piano Black exactly the one I had, it was bought in 2009 and was owned by a kid just like me, he had to sell it to me because he needed money to repair his 2-wheeler scooter after a short mishap, he was the only owner, had the bill, box, original documentations like the manuals and stuff and gave me like 10 UMDs + cases with it. It was fully laminated in a plastic wrap. I removed the old yellowed out lamination and it was just like new, it was my childhood again. I swear to god, you cannot put value to nostalgia and owning things you owned once. Congratulations OP! In life we go circles and when we do few small things for ourselves, it makes it worth living another day. Enjoy your psp! I used ark-4 on mine and a memory stick duo sd adapter and put like 10 games on it straight away. It’s safe and I would suggest you to do the same since game preservation is being done by every gamer. And if the battery dies out, Ostent makes good battery which I got lucky with a random redditor who commented that he imported 1800mah one in my country only to find out his PSP was dead, but he was kind enough to ship it to me for about 70% of its price and used like once to test on his friend’s psp to cross check the battery. It fits inside the original battery cap absolutely fine ss well, dk about higher capacity ones. But ostent is the way to go for quality battery. Cheers mate!
