Sony PSP

Advantages: Clear screen, lots of features, easy to use and a large range of games and movies.
Disadvantages: Can't be used with strong light and quite easy to damage/scratch

...The Sony PSP is a gaming device made for on the go gamers. There is a very wide range of games you can play on the PSP, and these mainly consist of previous PlayStation 2 games such as Grand Theft Auto Vice City and other classic games. The PSP is set out like a PlayStation controller but with a 4.3 inch screen in the middle. The console itself is a great size and does not weight very much. The screen also is very good - it delivers a clear picture and depending on the game, not bad graphics. The games are stored on a UMD disk which stands for Universal Media Disks which consist of 1.8GB. As well as buying games on the UMD disks, you can also buy popular films such as Spiderman and watch them on the go. Not only is the PSP a great gaming and video playback device, but it can also be used as an MP3 player, a photo viewer and an internet...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

A Goodmans MP3 player for a good man like me

Advantages: Only cost £10
Disadvantages: Not the latest spec

...I acquired this MP3 player when our lodger decided to upgrade to a Creative Zen 8 Gb player. I am shortly to upgrade to a car that has an MP3 connection so I have been on the look out for something to use in the car when the boring programs are on the radio. It isn't as small as some players on the market but for £10 who's arguing? Plugging it in to the PC doesn't mean installing any software, it simply appears in My Computer as another drive, to which you can drag and drop your choice of sound files, in either MP3 or WMA format. It also acts as a voice recorder, which will be useful for me as I often have ideas for short stories, blog entries or articles which I can guarantee that I will forget if I don't make a quick note. When I am driving, which I do quite a lot of, it can be hard to write a few words, but simply pressing...

Review of Goodmans GMP32000s

magical PSP

Advantages: Super features
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 having to buy a really expensive one. The quality of the pic is exceptional, since the device was not made for such an advanced feature. If you and your mate have the same game you can also play against each other on that game. The feature is...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

The best portable on the market.

Advantages: The look. The portability. The games. The films. The accessories. Pretty much the whole package.
Disadvantages: Not out in the UK yet!!!! Battery life. Loading times

...OK OK OK. How can I review a product that hasn't been released in the UK? I bought it in Japan, I'm lucky - I know. Lots of people want the Sony PSP. I can see why! There is SO MUCH you can do with the Sony PSP - it's quite unbelievable. My unit is in Japanese - but I'm fortunate to be able to read and understand Japanese - so I can provide an accurate review. The Sony PSP is undoubtedly one of 2005's most anticipated gadgets. Why? What can it do? What is it? It's a slick looking, portable device, tha is a BRILLIANT games machine, and is also a music player, and a UMD (more on UMD later) player. It also has Wi-Fi for playing games against other PSP owners (thrilling - playing multiplayer games is one of the great joys of playing video games - what can be more fun than sitting in a sushi bar at 1am playing Ridge Racer...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

Sony PSP

Advantages: Technologically, the PSP has always been ahead of the pack, and the 3000 just takes it further. I
Disadvantages: Where are the games? Looking at Sony's PSP website, there are only 5 games scheduled for 2009 - an

...I love my PSP, but I'm still playing games I bought 2 or 3 years ago for my original PSP-1000. For a new user, especially, the lack of new games is enough to make anyone worry about investing in one. The 4.3-inch LCD wide screen remains, and it's been tweaked. Sony says the new screen now delivers better color reproduction, reduced glare, and reduced "ghosting" on high-motion scenes. When compared with the 2000, the PSP 3000 does, indeed, deliver better color vibrancy (you can toggle between "wide" and "standard" color in the options to see the difference). As for glare reduction: we didn't find there to be a huge difference. Don't expect to play in direct sunlight, for instance. But you might have better luck with fewer distractions from indoor light sources....

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

Playstation Portable - The PSP

Advantages: Great Graphics, Fun and stylish, can hold upto 500+ MP3'S
Disadvantages: High Price, Fewer game choice, Few small problems

...FIRSTLY... First off the PSP is the best handheld console out there at the moment. Mine rarely leaves my side as it can play music, store pictures, play games, surf the internet wirelessly, play movies and many more things. So if you are determined to own a hand held console the PSP is the right choice to make...If you have the money. PRICE The price of the PSP and its accessories have dropped alot since the inital release so now is a good time to get one. When the PSP was launced just over a year ago now it was around £180-£250 depending on how many extras you wanted. The Memory cards have also come down in price, almost by half (The 1GB ((gigabyte) memory card was about £80 - £100 but is now around £50)) as have the UMD movies. GAMEPLAY There are many UMD videos avaliable for the PSP with more titles on the way so there...

Goodmans GDVD67LCD Portable DVD Player

Advantages: Slim, Easy to use.
Disadvantages: None

...recharge it with the charger that comes with it in 5 hours and also comes with a car adapter so you can watch or recharge in the car. Great for camping! Highly recommended and without doubt in my opinion the best for the money by a long chalk. Others you may want to look at are the pioneer and the LG 7" which was very tempting. This player comes as region 2 only but a very simple button pressing sequence opens it up into a region free player. Terrific. Now the important bit, DONT BE PUT OFF IT BEING A GOODMANS! I was sceptical as Goodmans stuff is um...er usually crap, but this is high class kit, spoil yourself. One more thing..........The mp3 player software is top notch great sounding mp'3 through any amplifier you choose, I use a pioneer pc 5.1 system (£70) and it sounds awesome. Ok Update time - It is very trippy on vcd playback sometimes...

Review of Goodmans GDVD67

Sony PSP

Advantages: Great portable media player. Ideal for Games & Movies
Disadvantages: Not so good as an MP3 player as a little bulky.

...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 movie capability, this is straight forward. As long as you 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...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite

Sony PSP has been on a diet

Advantages: Really Slim, Great Web Browser, Plays MP3
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...Hi the review you will be reading is for the Sony Play Station Portable (PSP). I got this about a year ago and I play it all most all the time when I'm out and about anyway on with the review. Features The PSP has many great features for example the internet option which you need an access point or hot spot for. Some of the other features include the downloaded games, video, music and pictures options which you can download from the official PSP website from your PSP or use your computer to gain access to the full PSP website which has more downloads. 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...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite

The PSP Slim

Advantages: Portable eassy to carry,
Disadvantages: Read Review

...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 a TV. Games appear in a letterbox format. The Slim 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...
