Sony PSP
Reviewer: MobileTechReview.com26 May 2008- Overall 10
Who wouldn't love a console that looks like a $500 ultra-modern and cool device, has Sony behind it, a great list of rollout titles and a widescreen that can't be beat? Throw in movie playback, an MP3 player, stereo, a photo viewer, stereo output, standard 802.11b WiFi and geat gaming ergonomics, Sony is taking the market in new directions. If you wonder what may make Sony different than the rest that have tried in the past, Sony makes Sony different. They have the... Read more

Sony PSP (Model 2000)
Reviewer: PC Magazine13 September 2007- Overall 8
Slimmed down and souped up, Sony 's latest handheld gaming device, the PSP (model 2000) offers some welcome improvements over its predecessor . It boasts more RAM to make game load times a little faster and is now able to output video straight to your TV. The PSP's smaller size is also more pocket-friendly. Although the device provides the same great game play and media abilities that made the original PSP a success, convincing current PSP owners to upgrade will be... Read more

Just a few days ago, my car needed its 50,000 mile servicing, so I headed down to my local car dealer. I figured this would be a great real world test for the PSP. The car servicing was going to take about three hours and I didn’t have a ride home. I grabbed the PSP, put it in its protective neoprene travel case and tossed it in my car with the headphones, a few games and movies and the AC adapter, just in case the battery wasn’t going to make it.

Best For Entertainment (Sony PlayStation Portable)
Reviewer: ProductSifter20 December 2006The only other concern we’ve had is with fingerprints. The PSP’s gloss black finish is like a magnet to them no matter how clean your hands, and it can get ridiculously frustrating if only because you’ll become so attached to it that any kind of tarnish will inevitably be cause for concern. Our advice? Invest in a decent case and carry bag – there are myriad available from a wide range of manufacturers. In fact, outside of the ubiquitous iPod , the PSP has... Read more

Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Console
Reviewer: Ly T., review.azze.com17 October 2008- Overall 10
I bought for myself, the PSP a few months ago. Also, I bought Prince of Persia game. It's great but I had a lot of trouble trying to download movies to watch on it. Which can get annoying after a while. But the graphics are pretty good for such a little thing. Buy it if you have the money to splurge ... otherwise, dont bother. Read more
