The machine in the picture is too big lol
Sony used these when they announced, launched and advertised the PSP!
I have a gallery of a ton of these giant PSPs they made in this article I did, if you wanna see more:

Nice, thank you
Any love for a PS Vita still? Though tbh, since getting a steam deck it's not been as appealing.
I absolutely love mine and it lives in my work bag to this day. Killer battery life and unlimited standby.
So recently, I spent a fair time chatting with the creator of PSPunk, a website I’m sure many here might have visited. But that chatting (which ended up being an interview) pivoted instead to something a bit different from what I usually end up doing with articles.
Rather than just talking about the website itself, we ended up discussing the people who keep older gaming communities alive. We covered how PSPunk started as a simple custom firmware guide, why preserving guides and community knowledge is just as important as preserving games themselves, the modern PSP homebrew scene, and why the handheld still has such an active community more than 20 years after launch. You might recognize me from a few PSP articles I’ve done these last months, I just…think they’re neat:
It was also interesting hearing from someone who doesn’t consider themselves a developer or a major figure in the scene, just “a helpful user who creates guides.” I think that humility says a lot about projects like this, because every community needs people documenting, organizing and preserving information just as much as it needs people writing the software.
I should really dig my PSP out and see if it holds a charge still
If it doesn't, I highly recommend the OSTENT 1,400 mAh batteries. Higher capacity than the original and they work perfectly. 100% the one to choose!
Oh nice I’ll check that out, thank you!
I was able to buy a replacement battery several years ago and it's worked great!
