Tips from a new user
I’m sure most gamers have added this as their second or third PSP, but for me it’s my first. I thought I’d make some suggestions for new users.

1. Before you do anything else, buy a memory stick, a Pro Duo. You can’t do anything useful without it.

2. Buy a USB cable (5 pin mini). It doesn’t come with one, and you’ll need it to download stuff from your PC to the PSP.

3. Buy a protective case and screen protector. I bought a Joytron case and InvisibleShield. The Joytron fits perfectly on the slim.

4. Be careful when connecting the PSP to older computers. It’s very powerful, and I overloaded the USB port on my older work computer when I tried to connect it.

5. When transferring music or video to the PSP, here’s how you do it:

a. Plug in the PSP, and go to “USB Connection” in the menu

b. Wait for your computer to recognize it

c. Go into My Computer and look for the drive where the PSP is

d. Open the PSP

e. Look for the Music folder (or Video)

f. When moving music over, first create a folder with the album title on it in the Music folder on the PSP, *then* copy over the music into the folder. For example, I created a “Battlestar Galactica Season 1″ folder inside the Music folder on the PSP. Then I copied over the MP3s. Copying whole folders gives you an error.

6. Sign up for the Playstation Store. You can download free demos of many popular games (like Patapon), along with themes and wallpapers for the PSP. I like this method of free demos, because I can have multiple demos on my PSP and only carry two UMDs with me and never get bored.

A Great System
Pros:

+A Very Powerful Handheld Device

+Plays music, movies, and allows you to look at photos

+Browsing online is fun

+A lot of accessories available

+A Good Library of games has been slowly emerging and is increasing… fast

+Easy interface and control

+Very detailed screen and large

Cons:

-Online browsing isn’t that much fun

-Can’t organize a music library and UMDs aren’t all that fun to watch, even on road trips

-The battery life isn’t long lasting

-The screen is easily damaged

When the original PSP launched back in 2005, it eventually became subjected to heavy criticism. Not necessarily the console itself, but mostly that much of what it did, people didn’t see the use for in a handheld system, and the fact that its library of games wasn’t incredible. Nevertheless, the PSP has still shown itself to be a powerhouse of a console.

First and foremost, this review is not here to talk about the Nintendo DS. If you would like a review or comparison to the Nintendo DS, I highly suggest you look for reviews under the Nintendo DS or use the forums. Most people on the amazon community will be very helpful in helping you decide on which handheld is the best for you.

The new PSP is much better than the original. It’s slimmer, lighter, and a slightly bigger screen that actually makes some of the picture look a bit more crisp. Some games also run a little faster, and that more than helps the PSP out.

What the PSP has best been known for (and criticized the most for) is being a handheld entertainment center. It can do more than just play games. It can play music, go online, play movies, and you can look at photos. This is all built into the system and doesn’t require you to purchase any extra peripherals to use. While these are all good and well, they come with slight hitches. You can’t organize a playlist when it comes to the music, and while going online is great, it’s pretty sluggish when you have to input addresses and such via a keypad function similar to that of a cell phone. Movies are great too, but a UMD on the PSP’s small screen isn’t enough to replace a DVD or Blu-Ray disc.

Luckily, however, the PSP isn’t a home entertainment center and is a gaming console. In that respect it gets the job done. The Slim PSP works because the interface is very user friendly. You can select several things from the main menu to do. Whether it be to play music, browse photos or just start a game. When playing a game you can return to the home menu at any time. The system even sleeps if you suddenly have to put it down. The UMDs are also a great gaming format. There’s plenty of space, which makes some games live up to their potential in length, and also pushes how powerful the PSP is. In terms of graphics, it’s like walking around with a Playstation 2 in your pocket.

The PSP does suffer from a couple of setbacks. The battery is still pretty short in length. It lasts much longer in the slim PSP than the original, but it still isn’t that long lasting. At least you can always check how much battery is left, and when it gets low it’ll let you know. Even better for the PSP is that even if the battery dies in the middle of a game, you can just charge it and resume right from where you left off since the console will merely go to sleep.

The other setback with the PSP is that the screen can be damaged pretty easily. In order to protect it you’ll need to spend more money on accessories such as a case to protect it. It’s also not the most durable system you can buy. You have to be a bit more delicate with it because it’s a bit more fragile than most other consoles out there. Luckily, most of you probably won’t drop it purposefully, but in case a parent is looking at giving it to a child, you may want to watch to make sure they don’t drop it on a concrete or hard surface.

For a couple of years, the PSP has suffered the most from having a fairly tight library. Most of its more notable games were either ported from the Playstation 2 or ported TO the Playstation 2. With the PS2 no longer being the focal point, it has certainly allowed the PSP to grow much more. We’re now seeing much better games and much more expanded games. The library is still fairly short on fantastic games, but at least now it’s growing as a gaming system. If you’re interested in a PSP, now is not a bad time to grab one as there are better games being released and it’s been built to last.

The PSP is a good handheld device. With a volley of games to choose from all across the spectrum, the PSP really does serve as a good gaming choice for everyone.

I’ve never owned a handheld video game system before, the closest I’ve ever got is my son’s ds lite. After a few of my students demo’ed their psp’s in class, I started to get the itch. Then, when I saw my favorite game, God of War, was coming in a new bundle, I decided that for the only time in my life I would take GW Bush’s advice, and spend my “rebate” on this system. I haven’t had a lot of time to mess with it, although I did play the new GOW game last night, and it’s very cool. Still getting used to the controls, but I have to hand it to sony, I think they have created a pretty universal and cool device that can do lots of things I want it to. My only complaint is no memory card, not even a little one. Yes, I know, I should have bought one when I bought the system, and I will be getting one soon, but it seems like they could have bundled a little 64 mb card or something so you could at least save an early game. Like one reviewer said, get rid of the superbad movie and include a memory card.

Oh well, a minor complaint. I’m sure many of the other reviews here will detail all the technical specs. As for me, it’s time to play!

good system
The shipping was quick and game console was received as expected. It works fine and I will do business again with rthis seller.

God Of War Bundle—-Great System, Bad Design
I purchased this PSP and the Deep Red sucks..The Piano Black is So much better. I was dissapointed so much that I returned it for a Refund.

Overall the PSP is awesome but unless you’re a die hard G.O.W. fan–just get the Black PSP and buy the game seperately.
