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: 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 combines all... 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: Light, thinner and faster than the old PSP, with some nifty features.
Disadvantages: No infrared, battery life lower than usual PSP's.

...The PSP Slim is a smaller and slimmer version of the original, hence the name. Now with a third less weight, at 189g and about four-fifths the thickness (19mm). It costs around the same as the old one, £130. The new weight is immediately noticeable as soon as you hold the PSP in your hand. It's so light that you might 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 be able to speed up game load times with extra memory. The PSP slim can... 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 for on the move
Disadvantages: does not come with the case and head phones

...this new psp console is a great small gadgets which sony have made about 3 years ago but now they have made it small in all ways it is 33 percent lighter and 19 percent slimmer this defianlty makes a difference you are carring it around. The only down side with this is that with the old psp i had it comes with a psp case head phones and a memory stick but that does not cause that much bother to me. But still it is great for on the move when you are out and about, plus if you can upgrade to the largest memory card you can afford you can fill it with photos, music, films and games. Now that it has been out for over 3 years there are a extremely large variety of games and films which you can buy for them now, also lots of extras like cases, screen protectors and lots more....

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...
