PSP Street vs. PSP 2000: Which Portable PlayStation Wins?
PSP Street (E1000) is the 2011 budget model with mono speakers and no Wi-Fi; PSP 2000 (Slim & Lite) is the 2007 refresh that adds video-out, lighter weight, and retains Wi-Fi.
People confuse them because both are matte-black slabs with the same screen size, but sellers rarely list the model name, so buyers assume “PSP is a PSP” and miss the missing features.
Key Differences
Street strips Wi-Fi, stereo speakers, and the UMD drive light, while swapping glossy for matte plastic. PSP 2000 keeps Wi-Fi, adds component TV-out, and shaves 33 g off the original. Battery life stays similar, but Street lacks an AC adapter in the box.
Which One Should You Choose?
Collectors who want online multiplayer, homebrew, or TV-out should hunt the 2000. Bargain hunters who just want cheap physical games on the go can grab the Street—just accept mono sound and no multiplayer.
Can Street play every PSP game?
Yes. Every UMD works; only online features are gone.
Does PSP 2000 still connect to PSN?
Official PSN shut down, but Wi-Fi lets you use homebrew storefronts and local multiplayer.
