  If you haven't got any PSP yet, Slim is indeed a good choice. Its seriously very light and very slim. I have got the fat last time and did a comparison. Slim are now very cheap. Only the console itself cost you $280. But normally, people like to buy in BUNDLE form. This is because they are cheaper. But market price are: PSP Slim Standard pack, screen protector and 4gb memory stick for around $360 and modified firmware(aka version) to play download games(aka ISO).
  
  I heard got like many different version and different version can only do certain things right?

  Firmware you mean? Not a problem. As long as you get a Slim from dealers, they will offer to modify for you so you can play your homebrew or downloaded ISO. But I'm not sure what you want to do with it. Lols. Modifying it is only to play homebrew. Nothing much. It won't fly if the firmware is different.

  basically if u mod, u can play downloaded games and other stuff like take screenshot. the bigger the number of the version, the newer it is and most of the time, newer will be better as it has more functions and/or improvements.

  official versions come in 3.52, 3.71 without any tags behind it. the m33 refers to the series of firmware, made by this guy Dark_Alex. the -3 behind it refers to the 3rd revision to the current firmware. 3.71 m33-3 thus means sony's 3.71 firmware modified to be part of the m33 series, 3rd revision
