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)

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...

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....

Sony Playstation Portable

Advantages: Good features, music, videos, internet access, good availibility of games
Disadvantages: Not as advanced as newer consoles/gadgets

...The Sony PSP was revolutionary when it was first released, it holds music, videos, images and allows internet access whereever a valid internet connection is available. The screen is a good size for handheld games console (4.3 inches) and has a processor speed of 333 MHz.. It was released in 2005 and therefore has dramatically decreased in price since then (consoles always depreciate in value due to the improvements and advancements in technology) and can now be bought for as cheap as £35. Many games are available for the Sony Playstation Portable including favourites like Grand Theft Auto and Fifa and my personal favourite Fight Night. It has a battery life of between 6 and 10 hours (depending on what processes are happening on it) until it needs charging. The graphics are impressive as the PSP has the same graphical quality as...

...for down. Display button adjusts the brightness of the screen. The sound button adjusts the tone, HEAVY, POPS, JAZZ,UNIQUE and OFF. Next is the select button, during start up in games you are sometimes asked to press this. On the right side front are the familiar TRIANGLE, SQUARE, X and O. These all do different actions during games, so need to be learnt for each game. There is a power indicator and a hold mode indicator. Connectivity ************** Along the top edge is a usb cable input and two holes that accessories can be connected to the PSP, including speakers and future technology. Along the bottom edge is the headset connector and DCin 5V connector. Opening PSP *************** On the top edge you open the UMD cartridge by sliding a latch, it flicks open quite fast and the UMD disc raises so can be easily removed...

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...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

psp is a very good mobile gaming device

Advantages: internet explorer
Disadvantages: speakers a bit weak

...In my opinion this is one of the best gaming consoles out there at the moment due to it's graphics and game quality. The psp is a very versatile console with its inbuilt mp3 player, you can view videos and movies, view photos play games, go online and it has internet explorer. The gaming on the psp in my eyes is phenomenal with so much attention to detail it is almost real. There are a very wide range of games on psp of almost every genre. Some of the games on the psp have the option of 2 player or to go online and play other people from around the globe. The inbuilt mp3 player is a big thumbs up for the console even though the speakers are weak the sound quality is good. the only way of transferring music onto the psp is that you either must have a usb adapter or an internet connection. The music facility is really good. one...

PSP Review

Advantages: if you are unable to buy games in the shop you can buy them through the psp
Disadvantages: the memory cards can sometimes be expensive :(

...When i bought a sony play station portable (psp) i felt it was one of the best choices i have ever made. I say this because the play station portable is a technological masterpeice. When i recived my play station portable in the post i wasn't sure whether or not it would satisfy expetation, but IT BLEW ME AWAY with all the games, movies, music, photos and INTERNET. At first i just played on the games completing them as normal but then internet came into the equation and gaming as i knew it changed forever. Ad hoc mode (local gaming) this means that you can connect with friends from a close range, on most games you get more game modes in Ad hoc mode. Then there is the new mother of gaming Infrastructure mode which allows you to play with whoever you want to around the globe. in the case of a dilemma of either choosing a ds or a psp...
