Is anyone thinking to get the new 2S model? (kbin.social)

It’s basically the perfect response to every criticism I had on the 2+ when I got it, but I’m still happy with my 3+ and would rather put up with black bars on 4:3 content than have PSP games too small to read comfortably.

It's a tough call. If I didn't already have my 2+, it would be an instant buy. It answers literally every problem I had with the 2+ (my favorite handheld), but it's hard to justify dropping $100 on a handheld that won't be that much more powerful despite the quality of life improvements. Maybe at some point I'll snag one, but honestly, I'm thinking I'll just hold off until someone drops something super similar to the 2S that also runs GameCube and PS2 a lot better.

Did you mean 3+? The chip inside the 2s is a pretty significant upgrade from the 2+, though it's a little downgraded from the 3+. If all I had was a 2+, I would absolutely be looking at a 2s. (Assuming of course I had the money for it.)
