I'm thinking about buying a PSP and I don't want the Go, so should I go with the 2000 or the 3000?

If you can get a PSP 2000, go with that.  The screen is much better.  The only advantage to a PSP 3000 is that it has a built in mic and has a brighter screen.

Wait, why is the 2000's screen better if the 3000 is brighter..?

The 3000 supposedly has a more vivid screen but it had these massive scanlines on it compared to the 2000.

" The 3000 supposedly has a more vivid screen but it had these massive scanlines on it compared to the 2000. "

3000 will play all games through composite. 2000 will only play PS1 games through Composite. Not like you really want TV-Out, but it's there.

So basically it's whether I want a less bright screen or massive scan lines? Is the 1000 worth buying used if I can find it cheap..? (Sorry for all the questions, I just never have luck with search engines... >_<)

I was thinking of getting a PSP again... hmmm

why not get the go i mean it is 250 dollars but it probably is going to have the best screen

You're probably better off with the 2000 since finding a 1000 could be tricky (they're very popular with homebrew developers). Also the 2000 is lighter and thinner than the 1000 with some extra (though not very important) features.

are you going to be hacking it? if so, go with a 3000. It is really easy to hack. "

If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to get a PSP but not the Go?

PSP Over 9000

The PSP 3000 screen has a wider color range and is brighter, also de 2000 has some ghosting and bleeding, the 3000 is much better in every sense, the scanlines are noticeable only in some situations, I have been playing Disgaea 1 (like one of the screens posted here) and I haven't noticed any scanlines yet. It's true that the PSP 3000 feels like a toy in your hand, that's because it's very light, it feels like the old ps1 gamepads before the DualShock 1 was released.
