    I pretty sure that I'm going to purchase a PSP Go when it's released, but I own an older PSP with the 1.5 firmware. I want all of the new features of the PSP though. Is the PSP 1.5 worth any money? Should I just wait for the PSP Go, or should I update my PSP 1.5?

    PSP 1.5 is only good for homebrew stuff.  If you don't do any homebrew, update it.

    A 1.5 is worth just as much as any other fat PSP, the thing is that you can flash them (the fat ones) all these days.

    I would just put a custom firmware on it and play some of your old PS1 games on it, that is if you have any.

    I second that.
