Advantages: Stunning graphics, immence gameplay, totally worth your money, lives up to the final fantasy franchise
Disadvantages: Can not think of one

...This is an absolutly fabulous game. An absolute PSP must have. If you have not played this on your PSP then your PSP has failed to make its purpose for purchase. The game has excellent graphics, the videos are breathe taking for a portable games console. Totally rivals the playstation 2. It is so good that i do not want to spill out too much infomation and ruin it for those that want it to remain a secret until they find it out themselves. This game lives up to the hype and name that is Final Fantasy VII. This game will keep you glue and coming back for more time and time again. If you are unfamiliar with the Final Fantasy Series, they are (RPG's) Role-Playing Games. You take control of a character, leveling and powering that character to you liking. Although the combat may be a little on the easy side, it is addictive and enjoyable... Read review

Advantages: Internet, games, photos, music, personalise it!, endless possibilities.
Disadvantages: wierd video file types, breakable.

...The Playstation Portable is something you must Have!! Not exactly for the gaming though. Yeah Sure, You can play games and that is what the console is mainly intended for, but about 5% of my PSP usage is gaming. This is a must have for Internet Lovers! If you have a wireless router, get this! - Especially if your a Teen. If you Have MySpace or Bebo, this is great! Talk to your friends while your in bed, no £500 laptop needed. And its great just for a quick Internet Surf. Depending on your memory card, you can hold alot of music and pictures! I have 1GB memory card so my PSP is a Fun-Station! =] Graphics capability The graphics on the Sony PSP is good for a portable game device, but dont expect something that will take your breath away! Sound Capability The Earphones are shockingly quiet, and the speakers could be beter... Read review

Advantages: Excellent graphics, perfect for journeys
Disadvantages: Games are a bit over priced

...** introduction ** I recieved a PsP ( Playstation portable ) for christmas and have been overjoyed by it so far. I only recieved one game so far which is Burnout revenge but the overall graphics, sound and size of the console have impressed me. ** Graphics** The graphics have lived up to all the earlier hype and are in my opinion on a par with the Ps2. I have burnout 3 on playstation and as i have already said Burnout revenge on PsP and after playing the ps2 then going onto the PsP i could hardly notice a change in quality. ** Size ** The PsP is slightly on the chunky size as it only just fits into the pocket and needs to be taken out and played on when sitting down. ** Sturdiness** I have dropped it many about three times onto a tile floor and the screen or casing has not been noticibly affected at all. It alos still works fine... Read review

Advantages: portable, smooth graphics
Disadvantages: the aparent 'battery life' issue.

...I got my psp from ebay, on import, its the japanese version. because its the japanese version this means that it can play reigon 2 umds! so, its light, its smaller than i expected, it feeels good, the graphics are great! what else? the main thing about the psp is that you can take top of the range games, out into the world. this gives the nintendo ds a contender that is imposible to compete with. I have played both the nintendo ds and the psp, and the nintendo ds canot actualy toutch the psp. so if you where thinking about getting a nintendo ds, then think again and save your money nd buy the psp. the game range for the psp is intense, the japanese main launch title was the 'ridge racer' psp version, much like its big console counterpart the graphics are groundbreaking, especialy for a handheld system. the big games that are due...

Advantages: Great features and graphics excellent
Disadvantages: no internal memory and not very loud

...Playstation portable (PSP): I brought a psp when they first came out and i think they are excellent and very stylish. I really love the graphics on the handheld its better then ps2. Also the psp has lots of more features like internet browser and you and you can drag and drop your favourite sings and videos as well as pictures to then handheld. I love playing my games on the psp as the graphics and controls are very good to use and are quick to learn on. It also takes memory cards as i have a 4gb which come with my pack as well as the psp. When i first opened the box and seen it i was so happy to see the shiny black handheld new on the shelves. I have had the psp ages and cannot wait for psp 2 which will be awesome as well as lots more games. You can also watch your favourite movies on the psp which they call UMD's they slote...

Advantages: High definition widescreen, Easy to use, Can play movies, MP3 Player
Disadvantages: UMD Drive can seem flimsey, Not many movies at the moment.

...The PSP is an original piece of hardware, with an attractive look and an interesting set of features. To start off with, it has a high definition wide screen, with the same quality that you would get out of a PS2. Getting this amount of graphics into such a small space is not an easy task. It manages to keep this high quality running with it's speakers, which makes gameplay with it so much more enjoyable. Next, it already has a wide variety of games, which allows you to sit back in your seat and play for hours on a wide range of games, all taking advantage of it's great capabilities. It also has the ability to play movies. One of the movies already available on the PSP in UMD format is Spiderman, which provides an awesome experience! Let's not forget it's music player. Play music on the go with it's built in Memory Stick Duo Reader... Read review

Advantages: Portable game console, media player, MP3 player, Internet browsers and 802.11b wireless
Disadvantages: Battery life

...The PSP is an absolutely beautiful device. Sony really made an effort to design a great console, it a little annoying that your fingerprints get easily left on it. But the Sony PSP has been well received as a hand held gaming device, but it is also a powerful portable media player that can do many things, MP3 music, surf the Internet and video players. If you are into games, movies and music. The Sony PSP is a perfect product for you. The battery life capacity for Sony PSP will last you 4-6 hours but if you need more capacity, you can get those 3nd party battery pack, it will boots about 20% more capacity than its predecessor, the original Sony PSP battery pack. The good: Portable game console. Portable media player. Portable MP3 player. Internet browsers. Built-in 802.11b wireless Wi-Fi connection. 4.3-inch (480 x 272) LCD screens... Read review

Advantages: A lot of kit, Great graphical potential
Disadvantages: expensive, easy dead pixels

...I can remember the day that the PSP came out in the UK and my older brother being one of the first 500 to get one and register. 8 months after that I bought mine and still use it just as much if not more. The PSP is an advanced piece of technology combining: Handheld Gaming, an MP3 player, and MP4 player, A Digital Camera (Not Included) and an online browser all that is needed is a phone which there have been rumors of. The PSP is a great gaming device whilst the list of games many will enjoy are small but then the target age group for the PSP is 16 - 30 year olds as not many parents would trust a 10 year old with such a piece of expensive kit. The games are given a lot of graphical power destroying the DS's and whilst it has less graphical power than the sony Playstation 2 the smaller screen makes up for that. The sound quality...

Advantages: LOADS of features, Longish battery life
Disadvantages: Need to buy memory cards

...The PSP can not be described in under 1 million words because there is just so much to say about it, here are a few of my favourite features: The internet browser : with the latest firmware update you can play flash 6 files on your consoles browser it does have flaws like the low RAM meaning it does struggle to have the 3 tabs open displaying images simultaneously. You will often get an "out of memory" error but you can turn off image display and display text only. The video player: one of the things that shows the psp against the other portable devices is the big screen and sony have taken full advantage of this because you can play MP4 videos on it, I believe this feature has been forgotten because most mp4 players are more expensive than the psp right now. The only drawback is that memory cards are quite expensive... Read review
