    Good Points: Small, compact, fair battery life, good little gaming console.


    Bad Points: UMD discs are noisy if you are in a quite place. Screens sratch really easily. I also have promlems with mine slowing down or crashing during demanding gameplay.


    General comments:
    The Sony PSP is nice to have if you you are doing long bus/train journeys, they have a good batterylife and can be turned on and off quickly. Psps also fit snugly in pockets etc. as they are so small. What I have found with mine, where it gets carried about, the screen seems very easy to mark.

    Got mine for christmas, love it.
    Not a great game player, poker and puzzles mostly find shoot 'em ups a bit difficult!
    Very useful for films and music on the train, the internet browser is useful but limited on memory, better than my mobile though.
    Must have gadget!

    I used to have the PSP 1000 and all it was great except for the battery life and the weight. I traded it for a Nintendo DS but I couldn't get into the Nintendo DS, so i sold it to my friend, which now has a PSP and he doesn't touch the DS. I recently got the God of War PSP, a 1 gig memory stick and Socom: FIreteam Bravo 2. I LOVE THEM! I have at least 45 songs, Ironman digital copy on my psp. I have about 20 pictures.

    Music: I love listening to music on my PSP. I have the headset and the butto ...

    Good points is that you can store videos, songs and more also on the internet. Bad points is that their is no decent games on the PSP and that its kinda boaring once you start playing it you tend to fall out of it in the first 2 weeks then go back and fowards with it. Over all playing the PSP is no greater experience than playing a normal ps2 they rushed it out to fast

    I love my PSP but I do have down sides; I use it for everything such as my internet for when I am away from home. I can connect to my PS3 with it and watch television with it (location free player). I like the way I can put my music on it and videos. i like the way you can download torrents with it. I like the way you can choose different themes for it and the ability you can connect a camera to it. I like the way you can share games with other people.
    I don't like the size of it but this doesn' ...

    The Sony PSP is a very good little console, would like to see in-built memory to be larger and without the need of memory stick.
    Ability to house a USB stick would be better.

    Overall, console is OK but requires a lot of work to compete with others such as the xbox 360 and he Nintendo wii.

    I would recommend this product because it is the future in handheld gaming. It is best in its field and is worth the buy. It is practically your MP3, TV and Playstation. It would be great if Sony made a psp with a camera though.

    Overall, the PSP is a fantastic thing to have. A brilliant buy and well worth the price tag! theres so much to it, being able yo go on the internet, listen to music, watch movies, store pictures and play games all with just one gadget is immense.

    Good all around player, fingerprints can get a little annoying as they apply easily once touching the screen, good games for the PSP, very small and take anywhere. Well recommend this games console, Sony have done a very good job with this PSP.

    Amazing graphics, great for children like me, easy to carry around, lasts long when has been charged.
    Recommend the Sony psp to anyone of a younger age.

    Portable, better graphics, the only bad points in my opinion with the Sony Psp, is the range of games however I believe this will is bettering in time. It also can be easily broken as far as I am aware therefore take good care of this game console. Great but with a little and minor problem, therefore well recommend the PSP handheld.

    My son really enjoyed playing on his psp, was easy to carry around and was able to buy good games.
    Only brought in December and already broke. Buttons keep sticking, unable to play games. Two of his freinds have had the same problem. Why? I do not recommend Sony PSP because of this.

    Good points about PSP are that it is a pocket Playstation, which you can carry around easily without having to take of the plugs and than packing them up. The PSP just makes the lifes fro children who like video games so much easier.
    But overall I like the PSP because I have one on me.
    So don ' t wait and get PSP for yourself from anywhere you find it cheap.

    Way better graphics and able to watch movies. The audio is really poor the controls are so frustrating. After all the PSP is more interesting then the DS light. Well recommend the Sony PSP.

    Great choice of games, good graphics and amazing features, like the ability to store videos and music, and wireless internet access.
    Not an ideal console to keep in your pocket, if it was slightly smaller it would be great.
    In general, amazing and well recommend the Sony PSP.

    So i got this two years ago. I was about to wet my pants i was so excited! so here i am two years later and there have not been a lot of good games since, and i'm getting sick of tony hawk. the internet is the coolest thing ever! it's wireless and runs real nice, simple set up, i can wirelessly get updates, listen to radio and much more. i've dropped it a few times, made the mistake of letting it sit in 100% humidity but it refuses to die. i'm considering throwing it off a skyscraper to see if i ...

    The PSP is a good move for Sony as it has sold nearly 2 million consoles already. So this is not just for gaming but also for viewing photos, watching videos, listening to music and doubles up as a good modem.
