I bought one of these in 2004 and it really was a slice of the future. The screen was way bigger and higher res than anything I had owned prior, and the ability to jailbreak and run emulators gave it a lot more use than just UMD games.

I still have my original PSP 1000 which worked well until my daughter dropped it a couple weeks ago...

IIRC, the PSP was the first XMB-style OS Sony had, predating the PS3. I remember even the loading/downloading screens looking so futuristic on the PSP.
