Sony PSP

Excellent – The PSP System is an amazing gaming console which I guarantee that anyone who atleast tries it will be amazed at how much you can do with such as small console. The PSP has got to be the best portable gaming console which I have ever bought and play The Sony PSP is a great consol. This is because of its fantastic style and design and also at the… Read more

fact that you are able to fit so much into a portable console such as a memory card, camera, microphone, speakers, joystick, etc. An obvious reason is that you are able to physically take a Playstation Gaming Console literally where ever you are going. You can also play heaps of really fun games and the PSP comes with a range of features such as Wi-Fi, Internet, Music Player, Skype, etc. The PSP Console is an amazing gaming Console and I believe that anyone who is into consoles whould really buy this product and try it out for themeselves. The screen is also quite large and the colors which ca be viwed on it are truelly magnificent (a total of 16,000 colors) You can also recharge it through a computer and add a range of features to it as mentioned before such as a camera and memory card. There is not much to dislike about the PSP Console except that there are not as many games on the market for it compared to the PS3, etc. The surface of the PSP is smooth and so scrates can be easily visible from the oustide of it.

Good – If you have a bit of cash on you, the PSP is great for an all rounder portable entertainment device. The beautiful screen is a pleasure to look at and the graphics are superb for the size and power the PSP offers. Videos need to be converted to be watched on the PSP which can be annoying, but a joy to watch due to screen quality and sound… Read more

quality. And speaking of sound quality, music goes quite well with the PSP and provides decent bass.

WiFi is great in quickly browsing around, and various functions and add-ons like Skype or GPS is usually for various users depending on what they do.

Although there is a large range of games, there's not a lot of party games for casual easy fun, but even the mature intensive games can be fun via ad-hoc, and very limited number of games, wifi.

The only real restriction is the memory card requirement but if you have a decent size, you won't have any problems; mainly only movies and music. Beautiful screen, decent library of games, video, music, internet, skype, and other various quirks, even GPS Battery isn't the greatest unless you purchase the heavy duty stuff, memory cards required, overall costs involved in using the PSP

Good – great hand held that beats ds easy and has so many good games for $25 i like the way you just pull it out turn on and play untill the long car trip is over.... its a good handheld. beats nintendo ds by a mile. for only $79 more you will not be sorry you bought this. it even holds video,music and pictures. connects to ps3 and the graphics are… Read more

almost as good and in explosions even better than ps2 graphics. has a great range of games like tony hawks project8 and tekken dark resurection and wipeout provides some tough fun even a new series called pursuit force to have a go with. the games cost $59 wen new but all the platunums are $25 well as ds the games basically stay at $70 and ive used a ds for a good 45 min session and the touch screen is a discrace sometimes i dont like how when you go in the car its screen is a bit hard to see but thats more of the sun's fault and this isn't a review of the sun. one last dislike would have to be how when your at home it kinda just sits there because if this is the first console your buying and your not an adult buy a ps2 they are sooo cheap last i saw it with 4 free games $190

Excellent – I got this for my nephew for christmas a year back and he still takes it most places he goes. He has it on standby in case he needs to fill time while he waits for something. The design is small portable but yet functional. It doesn't feel cramped or flimsy. Games aren't expensive. Compared to Xbox360 and PS3 the games are fairly priced. Plenty of… Read more

hours of entertainment can be had on this system The glare off the screen in certain lighting conditions makes it difficult to play. If you want a wide selection of games be prepared to spend a small bit of money.

Good – The psp is a great handheld console with you can easily play along with while out and about. Sony have created some remarkable games for the psp and it is simply remarkably fun to play it on the psp, along with this the psp has great graphics. Great, 4 stars A great console with wonderful graphics. The psp is a great hit and I would recommend… Read more

it to all. The games are fun and the psp is very portable, along with great graphics, sound and the now cheap price, the psp is a great console to buy. Hoghly recommended. It would be good if there was a camera on the psp.

Good – My husband has this PSP. He finds that the screen is a good size and it fits into your hands well. Easy to use as our three year old can play with it. The picture is quite clear. The games are the same as the PS2 but he thinks that there needs to be more game choice. It is a shame that Sony no longer make movies for the PSP. The looks of the PSP… Read more

is sleek and modern and quite thin but enough to hold onto. It should be easier to download movies to as it seems a bit complicated. Great little handheld machine with lots of features to keep you entertained for hours. Games are cheap. Sony no longer make the movies for the PSP. Downloading movies a bit difficult.

Terrible – My overall opinion of the Sony PSP is that it is an overrated, very expensive piece of Junk. Children will not really get much joy out of it as it is not really targeted at their age group. Great graphics display, skype, wireless networking. EXPENSIVE, very expensive, NOT really for children under 14. Takes a memory stick especially designed by Sony. Which will set you back a fair amount.

Bad – It has a large screen and isnt that handy to carry with you, but the same screen gives good color reproduction and makes playing games or watching movies quite enjoyable. It feels quite good n the hands, if not a little bulky, and the buttons are soft and feel ok after repeated use. Its a nice system if only it were a little smaller and there were… Read more

actually a plnetifull amount of good games to buy. Good sized screen enhances viewing.

External speakers have good sound reproduction. It is a little pricey.

Has a limited number of games (and less that are actually good).

UMD movies have been discontinued.

Dead pixels affect use but are not covered by warranty.

Bad – In terms of game play and the games that you can get, the PSP is awesome. However for anything else it does it isn't worth it. The movies cost more than a DVD and have less features. It is also very expensive. If you want it mainly for the movies, I recommend you buy a portable DVD player and DVDs. Movies, good screen, disc has protective plastic… Read more

cover Sony, games make you update the firmware to the newest version to when the game was made, screens have faults, sound isn't very good, very big and not easy to carry around

Best Console – Clear pictures and best gaming experience. highly recommended Best and outstanding graphics with genuine prices. Sony makes good products and that's why we believe buying stuff from reputative company thanks

Great handy device – This has got to be one of the best portable devices in the technology industry. It's outstanding graphics are just great but also you don't feel like you're getting ripped off because it offers a great variety for games and there's one for everyone's needs. What i love about this little compact device is that it has that little bit more that you'd… Read more

hope to find in a sony device. It's really a piece of art. Battery life is great and offers enough playing time for the average person. If you're thinking of getting one it's worth it. Way better than the nintendo DS. Brilliant. compact. great graphics. Beats DS

Does more than you think! – The PSP does more than just play games. Like the PS3, it is a portable video, music and gaming machine. Plus you can download games onto a memory stick rather than needing lots of discs. Via remote play (a connection to the PS3 via wireless) we use it to play movies or music both at home and even at work. Really easy to set up. We also use it… Read more

to control the music being played on the PS3. The PS3 is hooked up to our receiver (amp) and the PSP can control it while we sit outside. Because it uses wifi, it doesn't need to be in the same room as the PS3. Does more than just play games - has found life even after mobile phone games! Game discs can be a pain to carry.

Good – This devices is aimed at the more serious gamers, those who care about graphics and true 3D environments. The games it plays look similar in quality to the PS2 and the best bit you can take it with you. The battery lasts a good 3 hours and the build is quite solid. I much prefer this type of game console than the DS. On the DS you play these… Read more

tinyier games and in general they seem to cost a lot more.

Many games for the PSP can be found at a budget price of around $20. If you have the money, this is a great buy and well worth it! Best Serious Gamer System Non-really, with over 62 million worldwide sales to date Sony have made sure it's stable and with the backing of a company with major reputation they have keeped up the standards. My main annoyance though is I just got the PSP-2000 and shortly after they released the PSP-3000 to resolve the most annoying issue I found where light reflecting on the screen makes it harder to play in daylight.

Excellent – I love my psp compared to my old DS Lite. It was a bit pricey but the graphical and more serious gameplay makes it more fun. But, the price is the downside. For $100 more, you could get a netbook which makes me think whether it is worth buying a psp. I think yes because the psp is a games system. a netbook isn't. My psp is a year old and i love it… Read more

when i find a good game for it. Its portable, is graphically better than a nintendo DS, watch movies, internet, big screen. UMD drive can brake if dropped, price, game prices, not many game retailers which have large game stock.

Excellent – Generally speaken , this Sony Corp console is simply the best portable game system in the markets right now . And despite of its not very affordable price , Sony PSP does have a very large public that's ready to pay for it no matter how high was it price . And personally , i'm one of those sony consoles fan who WILL ( and did ) buy any new Sony… Read more

Playstation , portable or standard , from the playsation 1 till the 3rd and what's comming after . Best handheld console at all ! Big screen , high LCD quality , graphicaly optimized , lots of cool features . . . The price is a bit high , generally not affordable by most people .

Excellent – Great handheld console with big tv screen quality and loads of features that all work very well. Even that it is quite expensive you get alot for the money Great to look at, good graphics, lots of features such as plays videos, internet, pictures, memory card slot. Great menu setup and very high quality LCD display Could be easier to use multiplayer. (thats the beauty of the Ds Light)

Excellent – Overall, the PSP is a great portable gaming system with great graphics and i highly recommend it if you dont mind paying for it. The PSP is greta because the screen is beautiful with great graphics, the music sounds good, it looks great watching movies on it and it has lots of great features. Nothing bad about it besides it being a little too expensive.

Excellent – I first bought the PSP to keep me busy until the Nintendo DS Lite came out, but the PSP beat all my expectations, its just like a Playstation 2 in your hands, you have a huge range of games to choose from, most are direct ports from the PS2. it has a very large screen for a handheld gaming device, which is great for games/movies, but it is very… Read more

hard to keep clean. also, the battery life is only about 5 hours, which is perfect for my hour bus rides to/from work, but for longer trips, better make sure to get a back up battery or somewhere to charge. Big widescreen LCD, just like playing a PS2, very big range of high quality games. Plays games, movies, music, and wi-fi for internet or multiplayer Short battery life, screen hard to keep clean,

Good – This is a great handheld in which now u can buy it for around $290-$320 which is cheap for a powerful handheld. This is very stylish, it acts just like a mini media player, it has a great 3D engine which makes it the most powerful handheld there is right now, they have a great variety of games from kids to adults which is great for everyone. It… Read more

has good light for playing in the dark and the sound is pretty good for its size. You need to buy a memory stick which can be costly it ranges from $20-$180.

Excellent – This PSP is one of the greatest gaming consoles that ever came out. It saves you the hastle of buying a ps2 and a tv. So overall its much cheaper and more convenient as it is portable ! It is the slimmer version of the PSP making it smaller and more light. It offers more features than the original PSP. You can do several things on it such as play… Read more

games, watch movies,view pictures, browse the internet, listen to music and such. It's 4.3" screen allows you to play games with the best graphics and high quality sound. You can store your things on a memory stick. Its best to buy a 4gb memory stick. Needs a build in hardrive.

Good – Units very reliable; have 3 at our place - oldest one is the 1001 model. None have missed a beat. But beware... get sucked into the PSP [or any other gaming system] and you'll forever be forking out the $$$s. Platinum games offer good value - as do the preused games available at eb games or cash converters. Strongly recommend getting a screen… Read more

protector and a silicon skin to these. For about 20 bucks you can protect your investment. Graphics; battery life; range of games for older kids [12yo+], accessories cost of games; limited range for younger kids; expensive to buy [especially if you have 2,3 or more kids]

Good – I guess the best that a PSP has is the graphic! I would say compare to computer or television, PSP is smaller and lighter. But its graphic won't lose to theirs! However as compare to DS lite, which everyone does, I would think a DS is better. But I still love both my PSP slim and DS lite. Best graphic for a console! Games too expensive and hopefully it can be a bit LIGHTER!

Excellent – The high quality graphics doesn't make you feel like you are watching such a small screen and the sound is fantastic. There are plenty of accessories and games titles available and it is difficult to imagine how Sony will top this so it seems to carry the promise of longevity as well. Without a doubt the highest quality and most features of any… Read more

hand held games console. I definitely don't want to travel without one. The games and movie discs really need to come down in price. The movies in particular are way too expensive compared to what you pay for dvds.

Good – my overall opinion is that this paticular game machine is good but not that good and its quite expensive so think before you buy what I like about this paticular game machine is that its very portable and has so much stuff you can do inside such as online games and mp3 player and put files inside to transfer stuff and it also has great graphics so… Read more

you can enjoy your game what I dont like about this machine is that its too expensive for a such a small game and the controls are also hard for some or most of the games and they are qute hard to get used to so that will be a uncomfatable thing.

Good – The Sony PSP is like a small entertainment system. You can play games, watch movies, go online, play music, view pictures (and take pictures with the camera add-on) etc. The Sony PSP give great graphics and great sound to go with the games or movies. If you have ever played a Playstation, the Sony PSP is a portable version that doesn't lack any of… Read more

the features you'll expect. It is a very portable form of a Playstation with a lot more features. It also has great graphics and sound. When trying t play outdoors or in direct sunlight, the screen gets really reflective so it is hard to see the screen and anything on it.

Good – The PSP is an excellent console with lots to offer. Its quality and playability is second to non and currently does not have a strong competitor in the same level. Overall, this unit compares nicely with its big brother PS2 and PS3, the graphics are smooth and loading time is minimal and its built in features definately well thought out. Wifi, BT… Read more

etc. It could do with more additions adn accessories packaged with the bundle. The PSP continues the great name of playstation. - its a great addition to the Playstation range. high quality graphics, quality of sound, reasonable size can be user unfriendly if unfamiliar with console

Good – My teenage daughter recieved one of these as a gift when she had a long stay in hospital,it was a godsend.She could watch movies and play games,charging the battery or plugging into mains.The games and movies are expensive so its wise to try a game someone else has before you purchase it yourself.Good for music storage.A handy little portable game… Read more

console to take on holiday or for someone who requires bed rest etc. Fantastic screen for all your games and movies.Small and compact with a good array of cases available to buy which offer added protection. Expensive when first released and the games are pricey,not a huge range.

Excellent – This is the best hand held system you can buy it is worth the money you pay for it you can do many different thing with it you will never be bored. you can download music videos games there is nothing this little baby can not do very easy to brake the front screen and the batteries does not last long enough

Excellent – There are a lot of great games to choose from and a lot of great movies as well. You can play live and talk to people with a mic. The best part is the graphics for such a small device its great! The games are good and you never get sick of them! The screen is not small and it's not huge its just perfect plus you can hear the sound perfect! Ir's… Read more

like your actually in the game thats how great the sound is the speakers are large aswell so that makes the sound great. You can watch movies and thier perfect for car rides or plane rides or train rides!! Eye popping graphics and ear popping sound

Good – The psp is possibly the best portable gaming console on the market today. It has the capabilities to play movies , either from the memory card or from UMD disks. With the right memory card you can fit many songs, movies and game saves all with a very usable interface. Although the game selection in moderate at best, there are some great titles… Read more

available at very good prices. upgrading the firmware is not a problem as a lot of the games that require the firmware to be upgraded, come with the upgrade built in. The battery life whilst playing games is a little low, but when on standby, it is fine. This is a must have for the kids and with the accessories like car chargers and carry pouches on the market, this makes those long drives far more bareable, also good for camping. Good portable gaming device, plays movies, music, has internet capabilities Battery playing life a little low, slow load times, game range moderate.

Excellent – The PSP is very good to play and has a very long battery life from only one charge, and it can be taken anywere to play with. The good things about a playstation portable is that it can play music, movies and you can play games on it if you have a very large memory card in the play station portable. The console is light in weight and can fit… Read more

usually in your pocket. you usually have to upgrade your firmware to play some types of games or movies. When you buy the console you only get a thirty megabyte memory stick.

Excellent – My husband purchased this for me so I could play games whilst breastfeeding my first baby. I absolutely love the high resolution large screen and the gorgeous graphics. The PSP is really well designed and easy to use. Love the fact that it has so many functions. I frequently use the wireless internet in the airport, and we recently put some… Read more

children's DVD's onto a memory stick so our 18 month old can watch movies in planes etc - great distraction at potentially difficult times!

I really love this product and wouldn't be without it. Beautiful, elegant, well designed product. Eye popping graphics, great games selection, easy to use - love it! The UMD format Sony developed for this product is unnecessary and redundant and due to this the selection of movies available is very limited.

Excellent – The PSP is light weight and allows you to do many things, for example, gaming, music, holding photos and documents, and you can also connect it to your PS3 or with other PSP's. The great graphics and overall stylish look are not only exciting but entertain you for many hours. Not only does it provide me hours of gaming enjoyment, but it's easy to… Read more

store and easy to carry. For a reasonable price, it really is a great investment. Though there is a some what large variety of games available, they are generaly not very good. Sony needs to bring out, more classic and original games.

Terrible – The unit comes with a 1 yr warrantee. If you need Sony to service it, they void that & replace it with only 3 months. Clearly they lack confidence in their ability to repair it. Our "Fully refurbished model" returned with problems. If you call them, you get attitude, they insist they do a perfect job, so spent the first 5 mins blaming you because… Read more

it must be something you did.

- The first time you could argue it was our fault. When my son installed a game it insisted it upgrade the BIOS for him. Kids don't really understand why it must be plugged into the mains when doing that. Nor do most people read all the instructions. The machine fried itself. Partly his fault, partly poor design. This wasn't covered by warranttee.

- $140 later they returned a refurbished unit. But the joystick was a bit dodgy. It got worse over time. I was a bit busy so didn't chase SONY immediately. We still had many mths to go before the year was up. But no, even though we had purchased it about half year ago - out goes the hand for another $140. When it worked, my son (13 yr) loved it. Absolutely miserable service. I'd rather cut off my arm than talk to the Sony Service Dept again.

If your PSP breaks - buy a new one, it is cheaper & faster then 2 trips to PSP service. Better yet, get a mobile phone, a Zune or anything not serviced by Sony.

Excellent – you cant own these yet but i've been in and looked at them at my local game shop and wow. This is definetly a must. It's excellent desighn and range off applications
