 Console for people looking to buy PS3 and prefer Playstation and Sony over others August 22, 2006
78 out of 82 found this review helpful
The last two people who gave a review said that this was not very good i have to disagree. I have had the PSP for 7 months now and think it has alot to offer.
Firstly shall i address a few problems people have mentioned:
It is very simple to put videos onto the PSP IF YOU USE THE CORRECT SOFTWARE (PSP Video 9 is free and has helped me with many videos or you can buy converters for DVD movies).
Memory is NOT expensive. On amazon you can buy a 1GB memory stick for 20 and sometimes even cheaper - compared to buying hard disk space that is very cheap (i have got 20 videos of half an hour at decent quality on mine and game space is very small)
The network access code COMES WITH YOUR ROUTER OR WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD INFO FROM THE SONY WEBSITE!!! - it doesn't take a genius to do this .... just someone who has common sense really
Games tray is weak ..... if you want to use your PSP to smash people over the head with!!!! You do not want to leave it open but you wouldnt leave you CD drive open on your computer would you
Games that have been released recently have been to show the different capabilities of the PSP, graphics, game play etc - the better games will be released to come along with the PS3 (which also means you can use the PSP with the PS3 as a controller by the way)
Pixels do become dead HOWEVER you can download programs created to get rid of this problem if it occurs
The DS is good (i currently own both) and the features of the DS are good aswell, but they offer different things - the DS offers classic Nintendo games and the similar game play to this with the obvious benefit of the double screen. The PSP offers wider range of 3D graphics and do what it asks to do, play music, videos, games and pictures. I prefer the PSP (its not for everyone and for me it is its versitillity more than anything) but people need to know that the problems with it are just the same as any other new console and these are not very big problems anyway

There are a lot of very childish reviews about the PSP that I assume come from small children that own Gameboys and I am surprised that Amazon publishes them. This is genuinly a very good gadget. I own both a PSP and a Gameboy (although not a DS yet). I spend a lot of time sitting on aeroplanes and at airports and this thing is a god send. I especially like that I can put movies and TV shows on it, as well as music and games. For a hand held console the graphics are amazing, considerably better than anything else on the market. I also think there are some very good games out there too.
The only gripes I have are that it really would be nice if it had an in-built hard drive (20-40gb would be nice) and it is definately too quiet. It's fine for playing games but when you want to watch tv or movies or listen to music on a plane, even through "in-ear" headphones you can only just hear it.
That aside, I don't think you'd be disapointed with a PSP. I'm not and I'm usually very hard to please.

When I purchased the PSP I was not really aware of it's entertainment features out-with gaming. With a decent sized memory stick pro duo inserted (1gb, 2gb, or 4gb)you really can take advantage of the PSP's extra features.
So what can you do with a PSP?
1. Play games solo using the ever growing range of titles available.
2. Play against other PSP owners within the PSP's wireless range (60-100ft)
3. Play against other PSP owners worldwide when within distance of a wireless Internet hot-spot / connection
4. Browse the Internet with the PSP's web browser - including the ability to access RSS feeds, and download additional game content.
5. Watch mp4 video/movies from memory stick, or on Sony UMD disk
6. Use it as an MP3 player. (Also supports some other formats including wma, wav)
7. View digital photos, and view slide-shows, and send them to other PSP using the wireless function.
There are other advanced add-ons to further enhance the PSP's capabilities - including a camera and gps unit. Also (for a price ) you can stream TV to the psp anywhere from your home Sky/cable box - if you are within range, and can access a wireless Internet connection - using the Location-Free Player from Sony. With this system you can even 'remotely' change the channel on your TV box using the PSP.
I love the DS and it's quirky games catalogue - but for all round features, a more adult orientated game selection, a better design, and the brilliant screen, I prefer the PSP. However, If I was buying a console, either, purely for games, or for a younger child then the Nintendo DS might be the better option.

I've got to test the PSP's abilities since it's launch on September 1st and boy, it's been a nice ride. The screen is HUGE, the graphics of the games are unbelievable and the sound is great if you use the earphones. Films, music and photos just make it better. The UMD's are great and can fit huge games and films. The controls are great and the analogue stick is very nice to use. The one thing that it's missing is a second analogue stick. The FPS on the PSP are hard to use with the "shape" buttons been used as up, down, left and right. Still, that's the only niggle with the whole thing though. It's expensive sure, but it's worth it. If you have a console and don't go away much, it may not be for you. The PSP basically supplies great entertainment in any form wherever you are, so it's your decision. People complain about the battery life. I personally find the six hours plenty, especially since it charges quite fast. Look, you've probably read about all it's features before. I'm just another fan encouraging you to buy it. I think it's worth it, but it's up to you. Hope you enjoy the world of the PSP!
Excellent! December 9, 2006

Well....let me tell you i owned a DS for about half a year and yeh it was great fun! However the games were just not my kind of games so i sold and purchased a PSP!
Graphics: Insane! for such a small thing the graphics are superb! I own Burnout, Pursuit force, medievil and virtua tennis. All of these look great and are fun to play! But to really get the best graphics from your machine you should really get games like: GTA Vice City Stories or even just Lego Star Wars 2 (strange conbination i know) but i have played both and they are extremely good.
Music & Photos: Excellent quality pictures thanks to the bright,powerful screen. You can zoom in and out and set your favourite photos as your background at the main menu. Music is good quality when listening through the headphones but quite quiet nothing to worry about though! still good to listen to out of the main speakers but not as good quality. It is a shame that you really have to get at least a 1GB memory card to be able to get a descent amount of music to listen to but you can get them cheap now!
Videos: Films and videos are a very nice feature. It is simple to convert your own films and UMDs are excellent as well. The picture quality is amazing and the screen is a surprisingly good size. Good stuff!
The other nice "touch" that is great is being able to go on the internet. i dont have wireless but my friends do and its fast and smooth when you are surfing the net.
I have had no problems with mine and i hope this helps any unsure people who can't decide between a DS or a PSP!
But come on your not going to get GTA games on a DS!
