Sony PSP - The Best Console Ever!

The Sony PSP is a stylish portable gaming system highlighted by an extraordinary wide-screen display and PS2-like graphics. It also boasts built-in Wi-Fi, a Web browser, and the ability to play music and videos, as well as to store images.

The Sony PSP's multimedia functionality is disappointing, especially for video, because it requires expensive memory cards. The load times on the UMD games can be excessive too.



From an aesthetic perspective, the Sony PSP is a stunning device. The PSP's screen is roughly the same size as the entire front face of the iPod. The centerpiece of the handheld is its especially remarkable 4.3-inch wide-screen display (480x272 pixels, 16.77 million colors).

Since the device has a glossy finish--and is mostly black--it's a fingerprint magnet. A static-free cloth should always be at the ready when using your PSP (the Value Pack had one bundled anyway). Sony's official carrying case is a padded soft case, but a variety of third-party versions are also available.
