It's interesting how the console wars have played out: Nintendo's DS is, like the Wii, an excellent gaming device, but little else. The PSP follows closely in the PS3's footsteps by trying to be less of a gaming console and more of a media player. It's much bulkier than a Zune or an iPod, but if you're someone who plans on playing games, you can't ask for better. The PSP's screen is bright and colorful. Its "cartridges" are actually tiny optical discs called "UMDs" (for "Universal Mini-Disc"), but Sony planned ahead and assembled them in plastic cartridge cases to cut down on dust and scratches. The unit runs for a decent amount of time on the batteries, varying depending on how bright you set the screen and whether you're playing a disc or reading directly off a Memory Stick.
And that's where the potential grows: by using Memory Stick technology to enable you to store files, you're now capable of putting together a collection of just about any media you wish: I have a small stick of photos and a large stick for videos that also holds my savegames.
I've been very impressed by the quality of most of the games I've played on the PSP, and I was pleasantly surprised at how many games there are out there to choose from--I really had no idea. All the same, there are cons: UMD movies never really took off, so they're on their way out as a format. While there is wireless networking, it's really not good for Internet use: online multiplayer gaming works fine, but the browser is not so good, and trying to type even a password to log into your e-mail can get downright infuriating. You can subscribe to RSS feeds and read content using the PSP, but it's going to take you some time and tinkering to get it going.
There are some interesting extras to the PSP, however. Not only has Sony been trying to improve the quality and features with product updates, but the integration with the PS3 is pretty tight: I can sit at home and access media files through the PS3. I can read shared media on any multimedia server in my home network (for instance, my Vista machine has made it very easy to listen to my music collction). I can use a media reader to transfer files of any kind back and forth, I've used both the PS3 and a PC to buy games online and download them to the unit, and as if that isn't enough: if I load a PlayStation (PS One) game into the PS3, I can play it from anywhere--even away from home--by "connecting" to my PS3 over the Internet. I'm not sure why only PS 1 titles work, but it's still an interesting extra feature: I actually have some pretty good PS 1 titles still around.
If you're looking for portable fun, and you have a PS3, the PSP is really the logical choice for you. If you have no interest in media, or you're thinking of something for smaller children, you might want to go with the Nintendo DS: it's a little less fragile, and there are more games for all ages. As for this grown-up gamer and his 9-year-old daughter, we've had a hit on our hands.
Some add-ons you should consider: a larger Memory Stick, a plastic carrying case (the official Sony case is bulky, but very good), and if you want to have some fun on the big screen, you can buy an audio-video cable to connect to your television (again, Sony's brand-name has turned out better than the aftermarket cable I tried).
In terms of people complaining about the battery cover or memory card cover or UMD cover- i have no problems with them whatsoever - the only problem i find is when you insert a UMD it is not really secure - it is just placed in the "tray" and when you close it you feel as though the UMD is probably not secure. But that's just a lil flaw. Nothing major.
I think people think that it feels cheap because of the weight. It is lighter - slimmer and slightly smaller to me. Which is good - it doesnt wear on your hands quickly as i found with the first PSP. Battery life to me has improved but not really the loading times. However the increase from 32 to 64MB internal memory will come in handy in future games i'm sure that will take advanage of the larger memory.
Now the Package Deal - it's a nice deal - 1 PSP Ice Silver PSP and a 1 Gig memory stick - however i thought it was pretty cheap when it came to the Family Guy or Daxter cardboard sleeves - they should have at least placed them in small plastic UMD cases. Also i thought it was sort of a risk to have the actual product displayed on the front - When you see it for the first time you think that it is a picture of the PSP on the front - Wrong! Actually its the PSP itself - no protection for the screen except for clear plastic. It also comes with the AC power cord and adaptor - i think that maybe Sony should have included the earphones with it - i dunno - just thought it would be a nice addition or at least the soft pouch to help you carry it around.
As with all PSP owners we know the first item to buy is a screen protector and filter. Trust Me - YOU NEED IT! - You would think by now that Sony would make the screen a little more resitant to scratches - but unfortunately they havent fixed that up as yet. As for dead pixels on my PSP - i'm glad that it didn't come with as single dead pixel.
Overall though i think its a great buy, a great little system - i have a Nintendo DS as well - and love my games on the DS but for some reason i lean a little more to the PSP because i think of the superior graphics - the capability or music, pictures, movies and videos all in a nice, clean, slim multimedia player in your hands - i like to think of it as my iPod with a bigger screen. As for space and memory - thats easy to fix - just buy a couple to a few memory sticks - depending on what all you have on them or what types of multimedia you prefer to deal with. NOTE: as for the USB cable - if you happen to have a Motorola USB phone cable - it will work as well - i use that from my V3i and never did buy it seperately. Hope this review helped you to make a decision - Overall 5 out of 5 for me. If you have a PSP and want to get a newer one - get it.
