Advantages Great graphics and range of games
Disadvantages Fingerprints!

What is it? The PSP 3000 is the latest and highest spec Playstation Prtable (PSP) that you can currently buy. A few years ago I owned one of the older models but sold it as I wasn't really playing it enough. If I am being honest I really wanted a PS3 but I couldn't warrant paying £300 for a console I would only use occasionally so I bought this portable console for £150. The PSP is a portable games console giving you the freedom to play your favourite games on the move. The PSP has been around for quite a few years now. The original model was revised to produce the 'Slim and Lite' version ... more

User recommends the product

Advantages Great graphics, Fantastic choice of games, WiFi, Internet browser, MP3 and MP4 player
Disadvantages Fingerprints on screen and back, UMD are breakable, Protecting your PSP is a just.

The PSP is a the next generation of handheld game consoles, A competitor of the Nintendo DS, The PSP (playstation portable) is priced around £150-200 and now Game stores are doing fantastic PSP bundles. I've brought the PSP since it came out, but i wanted to upgrade it because the PSP 3000 or Slim & Lite as some people know it, is said to be much better in providing that extra to hand-held gaming....And that is why i am writing this review, to tell you why this is much better then the Competitor and the original PSP itself.

PSP , an amazing handheld device 26/03/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Incredible graphics, astonishing build quality
Disadvantages Speaker sound is not enough.

I bought PSP 3004 a month ago . Trust me, it gives me the real bang for the buck.The hardware it possess inside is really a powerful beast that bolsters almost any kind of advanced graphics made so far.The fact of the matter is that you will feel much more excited when you exploit it for not only games, but also for other features viz. watching videos,listening to music and internet surfing. Coming to the specifics,it has a characteristic piano black color and a sleek appearance that fits in your hands very cosily. The display screen has quite a good resolution that throws out the videos or ... more

The Lite-and-"Bright" PSP3000 23/02/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Better screen, built-in mic and the same great PSP experience
Disadvantages Not much of an upgrade for existing (Slim&Lite) owners

The PSP3000 is the successor to the not-so-long-ago released PSP Slim&Lite. And while everyone was not thrilled at the changes (there is not really much compared to the previous edition), as things stand now, this is the best version of the PSP yet. There?s a few new features: # The screen is a lot more vivid and gets shows the colors better (my roommate has the old one and I have the PSP3000 - you can plainly see the differences in color rendering) # The screen is based on a newer technology that has faster refresh rates and eliminates ghosting (which was a minor nuisance on the Slim&Lite) # ... more

PSP 3000 23/01/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Sharp screen, storage device for music and photos, internet
Disadvantages None

I bought this product after having a quick play on my boyfriends PSP2000. This new model is fantastic, its slim, light and user friendly. This is also due to the recently updated look of playstation. Simple to understand, even for a novice to computer consoles. It is new so there are not as many accessories out there, compared to the Slim and Lite, but knowing Sony, these will be coming out on the market soon. With loads of different types of games out there, to suit everyone, this was a fantastic buy. The screen is great - a very sharp and clear picture, which is great to watch movies on ... more

Good to have 01/06/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages can be used as chat and simple internet use
Disadvantages no enough support for internet browsing

We bought this product mainly for our three year old son to avoid carrying to much Dvd's and cd's when we travel. The thing I like about it is its easy to use. Yes my 3 yr. old son can use it not just for games but as well as for movies and music. Well its not easy to load music and movies because you need to convert everything to work on the psp. The biggest disadvantage is that the game loads to slow, with a young one using it who lacks patience you will be hearing a lot of complain " It's not working". But with all the things it can do I can say our family is very satisfied. It can be ... more

PSP 3000 07/03/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages Not only a gaming device but aportable media center as well.
Disadvantages A slight shorter battery life than PSP 2000

For those who are getting their first PSP, I would recommend getting this series than the PSP 2000 series. If your intention is to replace your current PSP 2000, i would suggest you save your money and get some UMD games. First of all, I do own a PSP 2000 and 3000 series. That is not much change in term of physical appearance and functionality. PSP 3000 came with build in mic that make skype a lot easier and Sony proclaims PSP 3000 was equipped with better contrast and brighter screen, But the downside is, there are ghosting effect on the new screen that doesn't exist on 2000 series. With a ... more

psp 3000 review 18/05/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Great screen, good graphics, lots of other uses,playstation store
Disadvantages screen very easy to get Fingerprints on it, battery life is mediocore

The psp 3000 is the 3rd psp and includes a better screen with twice the colour pallett and is glare resistant also it includes a built in mic which i have not used. The psp in general is a brilliant console with a wide variety of brilliant games including: little big planet, god of war, call of duty, gran turismo , killzone and resistance. Most games are brilliant and there haver been some hidden gems found like patapon and some psp minis are cheap fun. Screen The screen is bright and vibrant with a pixel size of 480x272 which isnt bad its anti glare helps but is not perfect. Graphics The psp ... more

Sony psp-original 03/06/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages looks 100%
Disadvantages prone to superficial scratches

I was bought one of these in the first year there were released. I enjoy all sony products and was exited by the arrival of my new toy. The first experiences of this product were mixed with the look being a*. Wit6h a sleek black surround and matt finish back.The fascia of this product semmed durable and long lasting but isnt exactly resistent to scratching, considering this product is viable and targeted in a big way towards children it was dissapointing not to see more stringent mesures taken to prevent superficial marks.The processing power of this mechine is top notch with lightning fast ... more
