  SONY PSP HITS THE MARK!
Review created: 11/30/05
216 of 257 people found this review helpful.

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 a great piece of kit, 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 brilliant internet! :)

If you havent bought one of these beauties yet then I ask you, what do you want in a portable gaming device? Would you like a touch screen color gameboy, limited options and based at the children/female market or a gaming device with multi-media options and possibilities? If you want the second you have no choice but to go for the Sony PSP.

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 NOT "child friendly!" Its confusing for alot of adults and with the tonnes of options children can easily change a host of the PSP's features. If buying for a child I'd highly reccomend watching them when using the device, or you could save money and buy them the Nintendo DS, its a color gameboy with not as good graphics but cheaper more simple for children.

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 (who would have thought!) You can be sat on the bus playing mario karts or Pokemon gameboy and people turn their head confused it can be funny to hear people saying: "Isnt that game on the gameboy or nintendo not sony 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 :(
Insurance: Thieves love PSP's!

  Sony Playstation Portable - PSP Game Console
Review created: 09/23/05(updated 12/13/05)

The PSP is a great handheld system, with a few drawbacks.

The PSP has a great screen size, and very good graphics. There are already games out for it that I'm hooked on, (Lumines and Tiger Woods Golf for example). There are also quite a few games coming out soon that look great too.

The PSP is a comfortable size, fits easily in your hands, and is not so small you'll get cramps easily (a problem I used to have with Gameboy Advance). Loading cartridges is easy and smooth, and the removable memory card is great not only for storing saved games, but can also be used for MP3s, which can be played through the PSP.

The PSP is also able to play movies, although normally the movies have to have been recorded to the PSPs proprietary media (the little mini DVDs that the games come on)

My biggest beef with the PSP is the sound. The sound is fairly good for games, but in my opinion leaves alot to be desired for movies and music. The quality is fairly good, but the sound volume is only moderate. My problem with it is if I'm watching an action movie, I want the special effects to be LOUD and in your face. Even with the ear buds, the sound doesn't go above a moderate volume level. This doesn't only hurt movies and MP3s, but there are some games that have an sound ambiance that really benefits at high volume.. and the PSP doesn't deliver that. I understand that it may be the best technology could pack into such a small package with so many other functions, but for me sound is so important.

I do enjoy playing the PSP, the games are great, the graphics are great, and I expect great things in the future. For portable movies and music, however, I'll look elsewhere.

I give the PSP a 4/5. It's a great system, and lots of fun.


Edit: Since writing this review, Sony has released upgrades to the PSP firmware that provides a volume booster. This has largely corrected the one thing that I felt was a downside to this product.

  This is a portable Sony playstation PSP
Review created: 10/11/08

I bought this system as a gift for a male child. I was impressed with the bundle the seller offered. The bundled included three games, one of which was a popular sports game, Madden'08. The system arrived in a timely manner and all the included games worked properly. However, when I put in a video movie, the system gave a message that indicated "incorrect code to play disc". The movie dics played properly in two other PSP systems. The sysems was used. I am satisfied that is will play the games. The child is happy.

  PSP's and their reliability.
Review created: 10/06/08
by:

PSP's, or PS portable, are the current fad in gaming. It offers web browsing, wireless gaming, radio, chat and skype now. It is a reliable product unless you are a downgrader or a custom firm ware user. In which case I recommend the Pandora's battery kit. PSP's are known for bricking. (freezing or being software damaged by homebrew's/downgrading firmware, in which the unit becomes as useful and non-responsive as a brick!) But as long as you use it as it was intended, it is one of the most reliable systems on the market.

  Broken Sony PSP
Review created: 10/06/08
by:

I am taking the time to write not only about the product but the seller. This item was listed as a broken item with no accessories. I bid on the item and won. The seller had some issues recieving payment via paypal, however he kept on contact with me and we were able to get him his payment. Because of the delay, the seller send extra accessory with the broken unit. The unit itself came exactly as noted and described and shipping was fast and reasonalbe. This was a great ebay experience and is proof that htere is good out there! Thank you!

Review created: 10/03/08

The only thing I can say is good is that the item was well packed. The item was listed as damaged so you would think they really wouldnt hide anything right?well I was wrong about that,the right speaker dosnt work, there is discoloration that was not caused by shipping that wasnt listed on the auction either
when I mailed them about it heres what i wrote "me: Finally got the PSP, works almost as stated though, the right speaker doesn't work though, and also forgot to mention about the discoloration on the sides of the psp as well"
they had to say "ITEM WAS SOLD AS IS, AS STATED. THANKS USAPAWN"
"me: under the assumption that everything that was wrong with it was listed which it was not.
I will be leaving negative feedback just so you know as well as explaining to all why I have done so."
"usapawn:SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY! YOU SHOULD READ THE DISCRIPTIONS BEFORE YOU BID!!! YOUR NEGATIVE WON'T HURT MY THOUSANDS OF POSSITIVE FEEDBACK BUT YOU WILL BE BLOCKED FROM EVER BIDDING ON OUR AUCTIONS EVER AGAIN!"
"me:I did read it, it in no way shape or form mentioned that the right speaker was not working or that there was any discoloration at all. I wont be buying from your company anymore as it is.perhaps you should better test or actually list all the defects on the page."
and that was the last message I ever received from them since.

  Sony PSP
Review created: 10/01/08

In comparison to all the other major handhelds this is by far the best. Nintendo cannot compare at all. Nintendo has its ups a downs but this review is about the Sony Play Station Portable (PSP). Over the years the PSP has gain hundreds or titles, most are made just for PSP and nothing else. You have lots of customization control of the XMB (Xross Media Bar) witch is the file format of the system when your not playing. You can put pictures and videos and even music on here! Even online web browser and PSP store where you can download tons of stuff, even games and demos all without cords or cables! There are really to many functions the handheld has that i could name. The battery life is always great, It has an actual joystick unlike the Gameboys. A great and big LCD screen. Some games will have bad graphics when some will excel even PS2. Many movies that are DVD quality if not better! Memory card slot for the Memory Stick Duo cards which you can plug into your computer or laptop and upload whatever you want, or just plug your psp into a usb drive and do the same thing. I have only seen a memory card for psp as big as 8 Gigs but there are bound to be larger ones. Great controls in the games, so many great features, by far the best handheld!

This guy offered a psp in GOOD CONDITION, i hoped it was the way he said when he described like that:
Sony PSP good condition black color

This psp I have is in fairly good condition it
just has one problem.The power light stays on which is no big deal its just a little light that takes barely any battery and doesn't effect your gaming experience.It comes with a 4gb memory stick which I loaded up with 22 game demos (WHICH CAN BE DELETED).Also it is very easy to store and view pictures movies and music.
This system is s great gaming alternative to an ipod or other mp3 player.So far the psp has great games out and there are many more to come.Psp comes in original box with manual,wall charger and almost brand new 4 gb memory stick pro duo.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

up to there it was fine... when i checked the item, big surprise, it looks like if he was using it as a bouncing toy... FULL OF SCRATCHES, AND THE UMD COVER DOESN'T CLOSE PROPERTLY. So that way, i asked him to give me my money back but he never anwer my petition but a blank email... by the way, it was the old series of psp which he never explained in the item description. I had to buy anotherone cz that one is simply useless... now, i know i have to read the reviews before i buy

The Sony PSP is one of the best hand-held systems out there today. I have to say that Sony has out done themselves in the hand-held department. This system is very useful. Not only does this play video games but it also has Wi-Fi compatibility, Mp3/Music Storage, Watch or Download Movies and Videos and Obviously play UMD Video games. Personally, the thing I like about it most is the size/storage of this. You can carry it around pretty much anywhere and it can fit right in your pocket. It can pick up any near-by network connection and connects to the internet fairly quick. The video games are also very well designed and fun to play. I give this Sony PSP a 5 out of 5 because if you are looking for a good hand-held system this is the one to get.

I bought this used psp to play one game, God of War chains of Olympus. I am only about 2 hours into the game and already the psp is giving my problems. The directional controller is stuck to the left. So I have Kratos sprinting off cliffs to his death and me sprinting down to the repair shop.

I have only played the psp for two hours. It is too much of a coincidence. I believe the owner observed the unit starting to have some problems and instead of getting it repaired put for sale from ebay. I am hoping the repairs are not too costly and would not buy anymore electonics from this seller or ebay. If I had gone to the store I could return now I am out of luck.

  3 PSP'S WITH 18 GAMES
Review created: 09/05/08
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I REALLY LIKE THE PSP'S (2 WORKING): GOOD CONDITION AND ALL THE FUNCTIONS WORK PROPERLY. (1 NOT, JUST LIKE STATED IN DISCRIPTION): IT IS GOOD FOR PARTS. (CHEAPER THAN BUYING INDIVIDUAL PARTS AND WAITING FOR PARTS TO ARRIVE IN THE MAIL AND PAYING SHIPPING COSTS.) I BELIEVE FOR EVERYTHING THAT CAME IN THE PACKAGE DEAL WAS WELL WORTH MY MONEY AND SHIPPING COSTS. IT CAME WITH 18 GAMES (ALL BUT 3 IN THE CASES), 3 BATTERIES, 2 MEMORY CARDS, WALL CORD TO CHARGE PSP'S, 2 PSP CASES, AND OF COURSE THE 3 PSP'S. (I MIGHT OF FORGOT SOMETHING).
I HAVE SEEN PSP WITH MAYBE 3 GAMES, 1 BATTERY, 1 MEMORY CARD, AND CHARGER GO FOR ABOUT $220.00 AND I PAID LESS THAN $300.00 INCLUDING SHIPPING COSTS FOR A LOT MORE STUFF.
!!!!!!!!!!I GOT AN EXCELLENT DEAL!!!! I GOT AN EXCELLENT DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
