Customer Reviews

Not a games console
The PSP is really a multimedia player, supporting photos, MP3's and video on it's large screen, as well as a decent internet and games support.
The games and UMD's released for it, however, are a joke.

I think that Sony should scrap the idea of a UMD based console and re-release it as a games compatable multimedia player, with a faster processor, built in solid state memory (like the ipod has) and a touch screen & stylus.

Either way, a good quality multimedia player as it is, at a low price with (now) cheap memory.

Connectivity? I wouldn't know.
If you are having problems connecting to the internet then forget about updating it. Although the Sony site instructs updating through the memory card the interface has no updating option other than through the intenet so if you can't make the connection you are knackered. In editing the internet connection settings it doesn't retain the previous edit and there's only so often you can enter a 28 digit WEP key to no effect on the cumbersome text input without wanting to ram the thing down Mr Sony's throat. The help and contact details on the site take you to FAQ's and no contact details. Not impressed.

PSP 2000
The PSP 2000, commonly known as the PSP Slim and Lite is a great console. When I first go my PSP out of the box I was stunned how light it was. I have never had a PSP before but even so I was amazed by it's lightness. The Wifi was easy to set up and works brilliantly. I have not yet tried out music yet but listening to the sounds from my games,it is top notch.

I have only bought one game so far and that is Fifa 08 which is good. The problem with the PSP is that there is obviously no multiplayer option apart from online play. However the PSP makes up for this by being a handheld.I plan to buy Call of Duty 3 and some other games aswell.

Overall the PSP Slim and Lite is an excellent handheld with brilliant games, and... it's a whole lot better than the Nintendo DS!!!
