Provides five ways to rip Blu-ray DVD to PC, AVI, DVD, ISO, iPod, MP4, WMV, MPEG, DivX, etc.

you will have to buy a tool battery from ebay and make a magic memory stick. if you dont know how there are lots of guides on youtube
o not attempt to make a pandora battery as most offical battery's dont allow it and you will probably break it trying
currently there is no hack for the PSP 3000 model but the ChickHen homebrew enabler . But if you mean the PSP 2000 model which is the slim one as well, Then you will need a pandora battery as explain by the other OP . you will also need a MagicStick as well to help with the installation os PSP Custom Firmware .

go for the psp slim & lite. it's really easy to hack. i can upgrade and downgrade mine without pandora battery and magic memory stick. psp 3000 can't be hacked and i heard that downloaded games won't work. i think there are shops that install cfw for you.
there is no current way to hack the 3000, and some 2000s are unhackable too. there are ways to find out if your psp is hackable, so do some research before buying. there are services that you can use to have your psp hacked, but they are expensive considering that you can easily do it yourself with a memorystick, pandora battery, and a little research. if you want to get a slim n lite that you know is hackable when buying it online get a special edition, daxter or god of war. stay away from madden psps, because some are hackable and others are not.
Should I wait for the 3000 model to be hacked. Any particular slim and lite model I should look out for? Is it easy to install the cfw, pandora battery and magic memory stick? Are there any places that sell psp already done?

Me personally I will go with the Original FAT PSP . is much stable and able to run any application easily with limited application but just the custom firmware it self.
