Sony PSP Entertainment Pack - Handheld game system - black

For the past 10 years Sony has been the leader in everything "gaming" and in 2005 they launched the Sony PSP. This little gaming device is amazing the screen is crystal clear, you have a gaming console which can play games, umd movies, mp3 music and jpeg photos as well as being able to surf the internet

The minor flaws with the PSP are that the battery can only last around 5 hours from a full charge. This is not much of a problem as you can simply plug the console in a power source and get straight back into the game. The device is very easy to use. If buying for a child I'd highly reccomend watching them when using the device because it can do many things not appropriate for all ages.

The great thing about the PSP is the ability to play "homebrew" games and emulators, this basically means you can play gameboy games, megadrive games, snes games, neo geo games, etc on the PSP.

If you are a new buyer of the sony PSP id advise you not to buy any UMD movies they are expensive and you can only play them on your psp! Id advise you to learn how to convert on your pc to PSP and get movies from friends or the internet pay sites. The mp3 player on the PSP is a little dissapointing, it just has your basic play, pause, rewind, slow forward etc buttons. There is no flash graphic demos or anything fancy to look at, but dont worry you can download much better mp3 players for PSP on the internet.

The games are good, some are not so good as you would expect from a new console. Games to go for are: Metal gear Ac!d (If you like the series tactical game very fun), Lumines (like teris but better!) Ape academy (Girls will go for this but dont be put off its very fun and is full of mini games, great to play on the bus, train etc!) Pro Evo 5 (great footy game), Wipeout pure (great graphics good game for all) Ride Racers (same as last one), Burnout legends (brilliant for you speed and crash freak my faviourite psp game behind MGA!)

The psp fits nice in the hands of an adult, I'd mainly say its aimed at the 20 something male market so thumps up there for the feel of the console! The PSP seems to be quite heavy when you first pick one up, it must weight half a brick lol but this makes you want to hold it more securely. You dont want to drop your psp, the weight and shape would probably end up in a certain deth of the console if dropped! Use the handy wrist band that comes in the pack!

When you buy I reccomend you buy the following:

A larger memory stick 512mb at least! 1gig or 2gig if you can afford it.
PSP protective case, dont cost much but save's your psp from getting scratched!
A PSP umd game, the demo umd has no playable games, sadly.
Insurance is also a must since they become easily stolen.
Enjoy!

buy one now..blows game boy away. Great color sound....very quick loads...................................................................................................................................................................!

I really dont know if i should buy a PSP I have a DS and I love it but with games like Grand Theft Auto for tha PSP I think I blew my money on a DS ... kill me now.

Bought this just to play games, but am amazed by all the things it can do. You can connect to other PSP's, and play against your friends. You can go on the internet, download your music, and even turn it into a univeral remote control.
