**END OF EDIT**
First of all, I would like to say that this product is not available in the UK until about September ... ...there is the argument, that Sony have stuck to their same old, Square, Circle, Triangle and X console, and it is just another branch of their already huge and still growing Playstation family. So one could say that the PSP is not original, and that it is yet another version of the original Playstation. And with the PS3 announced, it would seem as another thing into the past for Sony. But, in my opinion, the PSP is completely original; a new era of ...

Advantages: Crisp gameplay on the move, portable MP3 player Disadvantages: None of note
...we'd rather not have. Now Sony have decided that holding the monopoly on the household gaming market is not enough and have launched a portable gaming system with the hope of taking a large chunk of that market as well, and while the Nintendo's Gameboy is a competent little system the Sony PSP (Playstation Portable) offers so much more to the person who needs to be entertained on the move.
● What's in the box? ●
Well most importantly ... ...to used standard DVD`s so Sony decided on their own UMD™ format media, loading times are good and storage adequate - Sony also have no plans to market blank UMD™, a move they hope will greatly reduce pirated and illegal copies of games and movies appearing on the console. At present games cost about the same as those for the Playstation 2 or Xbox, with UMD™ movies matching the price of a standard DVD. I am not sure how strong the market will be for ...

...me insane. Sadly, until Sony announced its PSP, there were very few alternatives in the handheld arena, so I stuck it out with the PS2 and the wife's whisperedmutterings until the PlayStation Portable was released and then I waited a little longer until it came down to a reasonable price. And then I pleaded with my wife to let me have one, using such pathetic utterings as: "you want me to be happy don't you?" and: "you can watch Heartbeat on Sunday ... ...of the controls on the Sony consoles, but there is no analogue controller for your right thumb, which I think is a big mistake and is much-missed especially in driving simulators. Atop the handheld device sit two more buttons, one for the left forefinger, the other for the right, again similar to the bigger machine's console, only this time there are only two buttons as opposed to four. The whole thing has a familiar feel to it, but it isn't quite ...

...and it is on the Sony PSP, the PSP is the latest gadget that is about and its one of the best, I bought the PSP in Tenerife because its cheaper with no tax and all that.

...hand held consoles and how Sony made there clever move with the PSP…
History:
Since 1976 the realisation of a successful hand held gaming console has been in the air. The first hand held was released by Mattel in 1976 and called Missile Attack. They followed with another called auto racer in 1977. But these where still not a real hand held console, with only one games built into each, boredom followed shortly. In 1979 the concept of a proper hand ... ...hand held being released by Sony that had more power than the PS2. Early designs and snippets of information about the now named PSP or Play Station Portable where released to wet the appetite of gamers across the world. With nearly a year of waiting and having to hear how the US and Japan got it 3 months before we did, March 2005 saw the final release of the Sony PSP. Millions of parent's pockets, bank accounts and credit cards where scorched so ...

PSP sets a new standard as the first truly integrated portable entertainment system designed to provide consumers with a comprehensive entertainment experience including games, music, movies, communication, and wireless networking. Featuring graphics rendering capabilities comparable to the company\'s leading in-home console, PlayStation(R)2, PSP brings an unparalleled gaming experience to a portable platform, allowing users to enjoy 3D games, with high-quality, full-motion video, and high-fidelity stereo audio. PSP also allows for digital photo display and supports digital music playback in both MP3 and ATRAC formats.
PSP features an unmatched 4.3-inch, 16:9 wide screen TFT LCD that displays full color (16.77 million colors) on a 480 x 272 pixel high-resolution screen. PSP also comes complete with built-in stereo speakers, exterior headphone connector and diverse input/output connectors such as USB 2.0, and 802.11b (Wi-Fi) wireless LAN, enabling users to connect to the Internet and play online via a wireless network.* Up to 16 PSPs in the vicinity can also be connected to each other directly in ad-hoc mode, allowing for wireless head-to-head competition. In addition, wireless capabilities will allow software and data to be downloaded to a PSP and saved onto a Memory Stick Duo.
PSP also adopts a newly developed proprietary, compact, but high-capacity optical disc, Universal Media Disc (UMD(TM)), as its storage medium. UMD is the next-generation compact storage media, only 60mm in diameter but can store up to 1.8GB of digital data -- more than three times the data held on a CD-ROM. A broad range of digital entertainment content such as high quality 3D games, music, movies, video clips and other programs can be distributed on UMD. To protect this content, a robust copyright protection system has been developed for UMD, which utilizes a combination of a unique disc ID, 128 bit AES encryption keys for the media, and individual ID for each PSP hardware unit.
