The Sony Playstation Portable is without any doubt in my mind the best handheld console available on the market, even today, several years after its worldwide release in 2005. Despite Nintendo's... more

    5 Stars Sony PSP, Absolutely Incredible, So Amazing! Review with images 01/06/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fabulous 16.77 million colour screen, MP3 and MP4 player, Soon to come accessories, 802.11b/g Wireless LAN, much much more.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Memory Stick Duos aren't the cheapest memory medium around, but this is easily overcome with, eBay!

    **EDIT** Since my production of this review, there has been a fabulous revalation, (spelling?), in the PSP world, and that is a Sony Made internet browser and many more in the software update, 2.0. This further extends this incredible machines ability to be a true multimedia machine to include the whole World Wide Web. I have tried and tested V2.0 and its great, you can also set images as wall papers, and the browser is fab. Enjoy my review **END OF EDIT** First of all, I would like to say that this product is not available in the UK until about September or October as Sony do not have enough ... more

    5 Stars NINTENDO - YOU HAVE A PROBLEM! Diamond review Review with images 30/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Crisp gameplay on the move, portable MP3 player

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None of note

    Up until now handheld gaming devices have been a rather hit and miss affair, yes there have been occasional gems like Nintendo's Gameboy but more often than not the results are more likely to follow the Nokia N-Gage and the Sega Game Gear into the abyss of poorly thought out and poorly marketed gadgets 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 ... more

    5 Stars magical PSP 23/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Super features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Graphics-average

    Introduction The PSP (playstation portable) is a unique games console, which allows you to walk about with it anywhere. Also, it includes music, videos, gaming, photos and internet just like the PS3. WOW! It has a very stylish body, which has an analog stick to move your people/players move easier. This has recently been updated to look more sleek, thin and most of all cooool! The newly released games are still included for the PSP and the quality is astounding for such a small device. Another feature is that you can buy a certain camera to put on the PSP so you can snap away anywhere, without ... more

    5 Stars Plays So Perfectly 16/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Smooth game play, versatile functions, Wi-Fi

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bulky for 'pocket'; a little too weighty; awkward in hand

    If, like me, you're not a regular gamer but just need something that offers a little light relief when the need takes you, or if your wife tuts every time you take over the TV to play your lumbering games console when she really wants to be watching Heartbeat, a portable games machine is probably more suitable to you than their overweight siblings. So when I could no longer put up with my wife's complaints when I wanted to play Gran Turismo on my PS2 and when she started to whinge that she didn't know why I had that thing because I rarely played it from one month to the next, I decided it was ... more

    5 Stars Sony PSP - Technology will never stop improving 01/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Graphics, gameplay, addictiveness

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can be a bit costly

    This is my latest review 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. I got it off a gadget shop, if you have been to any of the Canary Islands then you will know that there are people trying to drag you in to there shops 'come in my friend I do you goods deal' little do you know that you are probably going to get a good deal but will break the day you get home. But there was this shop and the shopkeeper was very good in explaining to me how tourists normally get ripped ... more
