Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite

I use to own the PSP but I unfortunately broke it. Then I bought this little thing, and I wasn't dissapointed. It is almost exactly the same as the original PSP but slightly smaller. It is also important to note this change does not affect the screen size. === Graphics capability === Pretty much out-classes most other portable gaming consoles. It's basically like having a playstation controller wrapped around a TV, albiet a small one and it is ...
...stationary playstations. 5/5 === Sound capability === In terms of volume I dont have a problem with it. Obviously it's no surround sound system but for it's size it can make alot of noise. It also has pretty good sound quality as well and doesn't sound hollow like some portable game consoles do. There is also a headphone socket which fits most types of head phones for when you don't want to disturb the rest of the train. 5/5 === Range of Extra ...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite

...really right for everything? Sony seem to think so, having released the Slim+Lite Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable). Replacing the original model, the new version is marginally slimmer but a whopping 91 grams lighter than its predecessor. That is a weight difference you can feel. Despite this plastic liposuction, however, Sony have managed to keep all the features of the PSP in place. Whilst it is apparently 19% thinner than the previous version, ...
...In updating the PSP, Sony set about addressing the faults of the earlier model. The most prominent one was the load time achieved for each game. As all Sony consoles rely on disc technology to run their games, load times can suffer while the machine scans the disc for the next relevant part of the game. The older PSP can be heard whirring and chunking as it works its way across the Universal Media Disc in desperate search for the next scenario and ...

The full PSP website includes the original Play Station 1 games like crash bandicoot these cost money to download but you can get the trailers and demos for free. Memory With the PSP you have the option to insert a memory stick duo into it which you can add movies pictures to view through your PSP. For the films you can buy a UMD disk.

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite

PSP STORY The original PSP was a great idea. It was to be the best portable gaming and entertainment system available and had no real competition. Although the nintendo DS managed to win the race to launch their system with its amazing touch screen capability and also great idea for a games console months before the PSP, the PSP had no trouble selling when it hit stores. When it was released it sold out of stores and generated massive queues at ...
...one. The PSP quickly became very popular and continued selling out of stores until just after the xmas period. The PSP could play games which used graphics to rival the original Playstation system and in many cases the graphics were actually better. You could also buy UMD movies so you could watch your favourite films on the move. It was also an MP3 player and could play PSP MPEG4 video clips and you could also store you images onto the PSP. As well ...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite

The PSP Slim is an amazing hand held console, without a doubt ,the best hand held on the market at the moment. It has many features including MP3 & MP4 playback, Internet capabilities, USB port, camera software (although the camera add on is not included with the psp), abilty to save, and many other functions. The PSP has a huge variety of games available, something to cater for all tastes; some of the popular titles include Tomb Raider Anniversary, ...
...My advice is to not buy a PSP from a store, but to buy one online from E-Bay in order to obtain a PSP that has been uploaded with custom firmware. This will then upen up whole new gaming capabilites, enabling you to be able to download and play a variety of homebrew games by saving them to the PSP's memory stick. It will also allow you to be able to download and play several retro emulators on the PSP such as the Sega Megadrive, GameBoy and Snes ...

...memory card from an old sony ericsson phone i had, so saved a bit of cash there. The games available for it are good and there is a wide choice availale for the kids as well as adults for when dad wants a shot!, so are the movies. The picture and sound quality of it really are quite good for such a small console, it can almost double as a small portable dvd player, although it obviously doesn't play dvd's, the films available for it as umd are quite ...
...actually seems quite loud and if your son is playing it right beside you I would recommend you get headphones for it, which is another good feature. Handy for if they are using it to listen to music or watching a film on it. The graphics quality is really good, just as good as watching tv to be honest just a smaller screen, but all in all I would say this is a good buy. I would shop around for deals and packages available as the price can vary quite ...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite

Let me clear this up... The PSP Slim does not have a touch screen. it is essentially the old PSP with a few a few minor changes.These are the changes: It can store game data in the cache so the PSP doesn't consistently have to access the UMD, which speeds up load times. The UMD drive is no longer the springloaded type, and is now like a drawer. The memory stick panel is now a pull-out area. The Slim has video out, and and transmit video to ...
...has a modified earphone jack, to enable video out. USB charging is now possible. It takes about two hours, 20 minutes to charge with AC and five with USB The first units are sold with firmware 3.60. It does not have a built-in camera, or a printer, or an extra analog stick, or FlashDrive compatibility or xray or any other crap that you may fantasize about. It is just the old PSP on a diet with the aforementioned features. It is availble in North ...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite

This is an ideal portable console/MP3 Player and MP4 Player for all. Since having the PSP I no longer find myself bored whilst on the train to work. I generally use it for gaming and watching movies. The gameplay/graphics are awesome for such a small device. The added bonus of the PSP is that you can switch it off and when you switch it back on again it allows you to play where you left off even if this is half way through a football match. As for ...
...have a large enough memory card, you can load MP4 files and watch movies on the go with the PSP. I don't really use the PSP as an MP3 player as it's a little too bulky for the pocket. I don't think this is the main benefit of the PSP but the option's there. I would recommend this to anyone who's travelling a lot and it combines all you need in a portable media player. ...

...think that it's missing something. Sony was able to slim down the battery size while maintaining the 5hr standard PSP time. The speakers have gone on the front, the wifi switch is now on the top to stop turning WLAN off and the UMD drive is spring loaded. The display remains the same, but the slim includes a video output that will let the PSP connect to a TV. Sony has doubled the built-in memory RAM from 32MB to 64MB, and the new PSP will also ...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite

I bought my PSP slim and light last year after previously owning the fatter and heavier PSP, I was very impressed with the new look and feel of the PSP slim. It has been slimmed down very noticeably, It looks fantastic, if i had any quarrels, it would be that the high gloss finish of the black console i owned was very susceptible to marks and needed cleaning after use if you dont want it getting filthy. The game interface is similar to all other ...
...cross' controls with an analogue d pad as well as a joy stick which is useful when web browsing and going through menus as well as games. along the bottom is also a home, pause and select button and volume controls. The back has the same UMD loading system as the last model, like a cassette player.. which is a bit odd for such a modern device in my opinion. The picture quality for such a small device is quite frankly amazing, you can watch full ...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite

i have had my psp for around 6 months and although i dont play on it a great deal it seems to be something i go back to. the fact that you can watch films on it is an added bonus. the console itself is quite heavy but this makes it even more durable. i have a number of games at the minute but i am quite concerend that after i have only just purchased this 6 month ago the new psp has been released. i am concerned that they might actually stop selling ...
...time which would make my psp pretty worthless. it might be better to pay the extra and buy the new one. although i might have wasted my money there is still plenty of places you can purchase games online and in shops so i will probably stock up. i find this quite easy to use but i gave it to my 6 year old to play and he found it to heavy and difficult. there is a lot of controls so would probably suit a child age 8 or above. hoping that the games ...

This is a great bit of kit. Crystal clear screen, chic design. I couldnt ask for more. I got mine in white. I love everything you can do on this. I can surf the web, and save pictures i find. and can add music, videos and pictures from your computer or ps3 if you have one. The range of games for this console is huge and diverse. i can easily find the game for me. Another thing i love about this is that you can by UMD movies. i recently watched family ...

The graphics is purely brillant for such a slim, light and tiny device. One game that prove its graphics brilliance is Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core. The psp with its functions make it more like a multimedia device, i can say that it is probabily one of the most portable and easy-to-use device with ...
