Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.com
The era of no-compromises handheld gaming has arrived. Get ready for immersive, 3D gaming on a console that is poised
to change the way we think about portable devices. With wireless internet, video and digital music playback, and incredible data storage and connectivity options, the Sony PSP--or PlayStation Portable--is a complete solution for the mobile digital lifestyle. Sony has hit the mark by combining both horsepower and groundbreaking features into a package that weighs just a hair more than half a pound.
Design
The PSP\'s exceptional performance comes from a 333 MHz processor that dwarfs the speed of competing handheld consoles. Add this polygon-pushing muscle to 4 MB of fast DRAM and 32 MB of embedded RAM, and you\'ve got a device with graphics rendering capabilities close to that of the PlayStation2. And because no game is complete without audio, the PSP is generously appointed with built-in stereo speakers, as well Dolby Digital 7.1 surround sound capability. Sony has also pulled out all the stops with the PSP display. The bright, 4.3-inch LCD sports a 16:9 aspect ratio and 480 x 272 pixel resolution--plenty of real estate for heavy gaming action and widescreen-format movies. All of this is powered by a removable, and rechargeable, lithium-ion battery.
Screen machine: The 4.3-inch display sports a 16:9 aspect ratio and 480 x 272 pixel resolution. Movies and games on the go have never been more gorgeous.
From a controls perspective, the PSP is made for gaming. If you\'re familiar with a PlayStation controller, you\'ll be a pro at the PSP\'s controls in no time. Directional buttons, as well as an analog stick are provided. Meanwhile, the familiar left and right shoulder buttons, as well as triangle, circle, cross and square buttons are integrated into the device\'s slim case. Finally, home, select, and start buttons give you quick access and control over the PSP\'s important functions.
To have and to hold: The PSP\'s easy-to-master controls are cleverly integrated into the device\'s slim profile.
Supported Media
At the heart of the PSP is a new, proprietary media format known as the Universal Media Disc, or UMD. Each UMD can hold 1.8 GB of data, enough room for rich and complex games. UMDs, which are housed in a protective cover, slide into the rear of the PSP. Sony has declared the UMD an open format for developers and media content owners, so movies, music and other media are on the horizon from third parties. Sony has also signed on many popular game developers for the platform, so a deep library of titles is on tap.
While the UMD is great for read-only media such as games and movies, Sony solves the problem of data storage with the addition of a Memory Stick Duo slot. With Memory Stick Duo media, you can store your saved games, downloaded online content, personal video and audio files, and more. When you want access to these files from your PC, simply use the PSP\'s USB 2.0 port to turn the device into a fast portable media drive. Then, drag and drop files such as your photos, MP3s, and videos onto the PSP, just as you would any other removable storage device. The PSP ships with a 32 MB Memory Stick Duo, and additional media with higher storage capacities are available.
Major media: Sony\'s PSP-compatible Universal Media Disc (UMD) can hold 1.8 GB of data.
Connectivity
The PSP blows away the competition in the connectivity department. Indeed, the PSP\'s ability to connect to the internet, and to other PSPs and USB-based peripherals, is a real advantage. At the top of the list is Wifi connectivity, or IEEE 801.11b. Use this wireless internet standard to connect to other gamers around the world for hot multiplayer action--all from your couch, or your local Wifi hotspot. As mentioned, the PSP\'s USB 2.0 port is great for PC connectivity, but it also opens the PSP up for a whole range of future peripherals. Sony has plans for the PSP in other ways, too; the unit\'s infrared port speaks of remote control capabilities in the near future.
A Digital Companion
If you haven\'t already guessed, Sony has positioned the PSP to be much more than a gaming device. Out of the box, the device is ready to serve as a portable video player and photo viewer. By using the new H.264 MPEG-4 video standard, Sony obviously has its eyes on making the PSP a robust video device with support for feature length movies and more. In addition, the PSP offers a great way to transport and share your photos in JPEG format. And let\'s not forget the music. Load up your favorite MP3-encoded songs onto a Memory Stick Duo and you\'ve got a portable audio powerhouse. The device also supports Sony\'s ATRAC audio codec, so you can play songs acquired from Sony\'s Connect Online Music Store. Sony even ships a nifty pair of earbuds--complete with an inline remote control-- with the PSP.
What\'s in the Box
PSP device, AC adapter, battery pack, 32 MB Memory Stick Duo, earbud headphones with remote control, soft case and hand strap.

Customer Reviews
Awesome
I love the PSP. it is great. I ordered it on Sunday and got it on Friday. The only bad thing was i didn\'t recieve the soft case, and some other little items, but I contacted the company and they replied in one day and are sending the items to me free of charge. One thing to make sure you know is that all these are opened packages, so if you don\'t mind that then this is a great buy, and way cheaper than any stores. Overall it was a great buy.
R O C K S ! ! !
Well, I kinda wanna make this fast, the PSP ROCKS! Wii is nothing compared to this, and it\'s way cheaper. Wii can\'t give you videos and internet or music... OR pictures. Nah, PSP beats that!
NEED USB CABLE JUST LIKE THE ONES YOU USE FOR THE MOTOROLA RAZRv3
Music: efects are good, visualizations are pretty nice to be such a tiny console. Built-in speakers are not quite good, specially their location...
Screen: CAUTION might get scratched easily, display rocks and effects from any game are shown perfectly. NO dead pixels and I\'ve got a year with it, for now... :p
Photos: Send and receive \'em. GET A NEW MEMORY STICK, THE ONE THAT COMES WITH IT ITS TOO DANG SMALL! (get at least 516mb, or just like I did: 1gb, which suits me best \'cause I have a lot of songs and a bunch of pics.)
Pictures look perfect!
Videos: haven\'t watched videos, old crappy mpeg4 is hard to find, I recommend Videora software to convert videos to the proper type, but movies in UMD are recommended, the size may get u all angry, and the umd movies are quite more expensive, I\'d rather watch DVDs.
TO GIVE THIS LIST AN END I just wanna say that this console rocks and I recommend it a 98% percent, nevermind watcha gotta get for it.
Ultimate Multi Gaming Device!!!!!
The PSP is a nice game system released by Sony. It has many features that are awesome when on the go or even at home. Features includes: games(Universal Media Disks/UMD), MP3, movies(UMD), internent(wireless connection is needed, of course), and you can also download videos and photos onto your PSP. This value pack has pretty much what you need, except for games that is. It includes headphones w/remote, cleaning cloth, charger, battery pack, 32mb memory stick pro duo, and the PSP soft case. If you need game suggestions I would reccomend: Pursuit Force, Daxter, Ratchet and Clank:Size Matters, Full Auto 2, and also Burnout: Dominator. So as you can see, this IS the ultimate multi gaming device!!!!PSP:A+. Hope this review helps you if need games on the go.
