General Comments
When I first heard about the Sony PSP, I just could not wait to get my hands on it. It costs £180, but it was worth it. When I first purchased the PSP console I just could not wait to open it. In the box you get your PSP, a 32Mb memory stick, AC adaptor, battery pack, headphones with remote control, wrist strap, pouch, cloth, UMD software and printed materials.



The PSP main-screen is easy to get around. Once you switch it on you have to change a few settings like the time and date, but once it is ready you can play the games all you like until the battery runs out. The charge is a few hours, and the battery lasts about 4 hours. You may need a bigger memory card to load your PSP with pictures, music and films. To put music, films and pictures on the PSP you need a USB cable. You can buy a few of the games for about £35 when they're new. The graphics are superb on the PSP! The console has many of the controls of the PS2, except on the PSP there's only 1 analog stick; L and R instead of L1 and R1, L2 and R2. At first I thought that the analog stick was the speaker, but instead, the PSP's speaker is where the tiny little oval shaped things are.



There are many types of games, and many accessories coming out in the future, such as a 1.3 mega-pixel camera which slots on the top. I can't wait for it. Also, if someone has the same game as you, you can play multiplayer using Wi-Fi, and if you have internet, you can play online with someone else.



Good value for money and superb graphics. Definitely the king of handheld games consoles. Recommended. 10/10!
