Not really a gamer but think that the 1000 series are first generation and then there are subsequent generations latest I think is 3000 series? You should also try EB games. They sell second hand also and can offer you more advice.

Depends on how you want to use it.

The new (3000) models can't be hacked with modified firmwire which means you can't play "backed up" games.

My PSP3000 can connect to any T.V. with a composite or component video input (with the right cable).

My son's PSP2000 can only connect to a T.V. with component input (and it matters what type (I forget the details (interlaced versus progressive and such) but two of our T.V.s let him connect and one (the one in his room, darn it) doesn't)).

Other than that, the PSP3000 also has a built-in microphone, that the PSP2000 doesn't. Never used the one in mine.
