3 out of 5 stars One year after launch and we're still talking about "potential" ...   April 20, 2006
Ron Sullivan (Philadelphia, PA United States)
466 out of 596 found this review helpful

Well, it's a year later and the PSP still hasn't really taken off. Unless there's some major changes, I could never recommend anyone buy this and it's centered around two MAJOR issues that still haven't been addressed: cost and game library.

The PSP's expensive ... really ... really ... expensive.

1. You'll need between two-hundred (the core pack) to two hundred fifty dollars (the value pack) for the PSP itself. I'd recommend the core system. The only substantial difference between the two bundles is the value pack comes with a 32 MB memory card. Anyone who downloads mp3's will already know, a 32 MB card is small to the point of being virtually worthless.

2. A decent capacity memory card is a must-have. Don't make the mistake of cheaping out and buying a small one, do it once and do it right. All those mp3's, pictures and game-saves add up fast and having them all saved across several smaller cards is a pain (not to mention easy to lose). Give yourself about a hundred bucks and get a big one. I'm thinking 1 Gig kinda big.

3. To pick up a newer game and a movie you're going to have to punk-down another seventy to a hundred dollars.

This is the point where I just talked myself out of the sale. I'm pushing about three hundred seventy dollars, and that's on the conservative side! I can get an X-Box 360 for that kind of money. I can get an awesome iPod for a hundred dollars less and have (potentially) 60 Gigs of space.

It's a year later and the game selection, outside of MAYBE a half-dozen really great games, is awfully average. The UMD movie feature is nice, but the movies seem to average about TEN DOLLARS more in cost then their DVD counterparts, with half of the content (it's usually just the feature, no extras).

As powerful as the system is, and as cool as it could be, it's just too expensive. Knock the price down a hundred bucks, and it immediately becomes a much better buy. At three-hundred fifty dollars, minimum, though, it's just too much to ask ...



5 out of 5 stars PSP Slim delivers   September 6, 2007
J. Noriega (Emlhurst, New York United States)
221 out of 247 found this review helpful

NOTE: The Rachet game, the family guy collection and the memory stick only come with the 199.99 bundle. The 169.99 PSP Black Slim does not come with these items.

The new PSP is 19% thinner and 30% lighter. Should definitely notice the difference as soon as its in your hands. Here are the pros and cons

Pros:
+ Video Out to your TV. Watch your UMD movies and Games on your screen. This is the perhaps the best feature of any handheld.
+ Much lighter, feels really good in your hands.
+ The D-Pad has been upgrades. Fighting Game Lovers rejoice!
+ The analog nub also feels more responsive.
+ Buttons are raised making them easier to click.
+ The LCD is brighter, has a higher refresh rate and the colors are more vibrant.
+ UMD games load faster.
+ The memory has been doubled in this unit to allow developers to build caches they can then use to make games load much faster.
+ Even games that dont implement caches, load faster due to an automatic new caching done by the system.
+ Ability to eat less battery life.
+ Daxter Game is included! This is one of the best games for the PSP
+ 1Gig memory stick is included.
+ Family Guy freaking sweet collection UMD included.
+ Price. For $200 you are getting a lot. PSP system, a game, family guy compilation, a new color, and memory stick. All for $30 more than PSP slim black. I would definitely recommend getting the bundle.

Cons:
-Yes the packaging is a bit cheap.
-UMD tray may not impress. It feels cheaper.

Hopefully you guys enjoy this little system. It really is a sexy looking thing and with critically acclaimed titles like crush and Jeanne d'arc and other games like Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core, Wipeout Pulse, and God of War over the horizon, you wouldn't be a true gamer without one. If you like your handheld games at the same quality as your console games then what are you waiting for. pick this up.



4 out of 5 stars Great alternative to PMP (Portable movie player) that cost $400+   April 18, 2006
Joseph J. Keim (Ashland, Oh)

I bought this mostly for video and haven't even boughten a game yet, although I do plan too.
It came with the 2.5 firmware so home brewers are out of luck; I updated to the latest 2.6 and there were only two note worthy features that most people wouldn't care about. WMA playback and the ability to add RSS feeds (need wireless router for either one to work).

Video:
I was impressed with the video player. It has all the controls you need if you hit triangle and your most used controls assigned to the X - O - Start - Shoulder buttons
The clarity was very good for a 400 mb file from a hour and a half movie. I use PSP video 9 because it is free and has all the features that others have. The only draw back is that you have to download DVD decrypter or DVD shrink and set some settings in order to get a DVD to the psp.
AVC is a new MP4 format and it was better quality and is what I recommend. Just make sure you put it in the right folder or it won't play on your psp. There are guides out to help just Google "PSP video 9 tutorial" and you will have detailed help.

Web:
The web was very slow and wouldn't even load some websites (TV guide didn't). The way I fixed these issues was by going in the Web browsers options and shutting the cache off. The speed then got faster but still not cable speed.

Games:
Although I haven't boughten a game for it yet I have played on someone else's PSP. It had better graphics then the Playstation 1 but took a long time to load. Also most games are beaten after 4 hours of play. I suggest reading reviews for PSP games to find how long it took to beat a game.

Music:
If you are debating between this and an iPod for music playback then GET THE IPOD. I have an iPod nano and it has so many more features and will load up with iTunes. The sound quality is better too.
There weren't any way to categorize your music except by putting the music in folder, the problem is that you could only go one folder deep. Other then that there wasn't a way you could sort by artist, album, song, or etc then the way you loaded it on.
It did have shuffle and repeat which is very important. No equalizers though.

Updates:
Sony announced some new firmware that is to come that will allow macromedia flash to play and video rss feeds. Also coming is a GPS locater, keyboard and a camera add-on should be sold this year.

Overall:
I'm glad with it when I think I could have boughten a Portable movie player and paid a lot more. The only thing is that you have to buy a memory stick to even play video on the PSP and it doesn't hold as much as a PMP with 20 gigs.
I bought a 1 gig for $50 from newegg, but if you buy locally expect to pay $100+. A 1 gig holds two movies or 500 songs.



5 out of 5 stars Simply spiffy!   October 14, 2007

I'd never played with a PSP until yesterday. I'd see a friend of mine playing Lumines when it first came out, but that was about it.

Now I begin to see what I'd been missing.

I bought the PSP Daxter Entertainment Pack - Ice Silver version of the PSP hardware yesterday on something of a whim. I'd heard decent things, read some reviews and thought it might be a good investment. Plus, hey,Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions was out, and I wanted to play that.

I turned out to be a good purchase! The unit itself is very well-designed and comfortable to use. The display screen is incredibly vivid and bright. The interface is nicely designed. I had a few problems getting onto the internet at first, but I managed to resolve those within a few minutes (the little web-browser they have built-in to the software is... ok. Not great, but it gets the job done).

In fact, about the only thing I would have liked that did not come with this system was a USB cable. Fortunately I was able to find one at my local game store and now I can hook this sucker directly up to my computer. Very useful, given that I now am able to play MP3s on my PSP, as well as store photos!

In addition to the system, I also got a one gig memory chip. That's pretty handy! It also came with Daxter, which I haven't played too much, but it's proving fun. It also came with Family Guy - The Freakin Sweet Collection (UMD Mini for PSP). Alone, these items would likely add quite a bit more to the expense, but they came included for only a little more than the system itself (I sold the UMD, however. Why? Well, partly cause I have that same product on DVD and partly cause I just don't "get" the whole UMD thing. They're overpriced, have no extras and just aren't very interesting).

I've owned and enjoyed a Nintendo DS Lite Onyx Black, but I gotta say this little system is worlds away. You get video games, internet access, an MP3 player, a movie player (though not my thing, as mentioned), and a picture viewer, all for not too much more than a DS. Nintendo, I love you, but in this case Sony has the best product (don't hate me!).

The only down-sides I see is that this is not a system for younger kids (what with the UMD discs), and it is a little larger than the DS. It would be nice if it came with a wrist strap, since I'm sure dropping it would have tragic consequences, and as I said before I would've liked to have had a USB cable in the box. But still, I'm happy with what I bought and I think you would be, too!



4 out of 5 stars Ok   September 10, 2007

This is our 3rd PSP already owning two of the older model. This one is definitely lighter. I like the fact it is the color that it is. No more finger prints showing up as easily.

One of the pluses is the fact that the screen is much brighter. Looks like the same improvement that the 5.5 Ipod's had.

It is great that it is much lighter in weight, but it really does have a cheap feel to it. The memory door is really poorly made. We almost broke it trying to open it not realizing it was so dainty. The UMD door is also has a very cheap feel to it. You do have to be careful not to pull as hard.

I have seen no improvement in battery life. About the same or a hair less than the original PSP. Playing a game, I get about an hour and forty-five minutes and then I have to charge. The load times being faster? Not at all. My son and I own the same exact game and put them in to compare. The load times were identical (Worms 2).

My major gripe is the battery cover. Just a little plastic button to open it and it never really feels like it is closed all of the way. While playing, our hands accidentally push on it and the battery cover comes off while playing.

The last annoying item is that when I first turned it on, I went to check for system updates and of course, it said there was one. It comes with 3.6. Well, I wait for the download and what downloaded was 3.3. So Sony obviously needs to fix thier websites. A new product is released and they should of had that annoyance taken care of already.

All in all an ok purchase. It is worth the bundle if you happen to like Daxter and Family Guy. If you like this color, then you don't have a choice right now anyway since it only comes in a bundle.



We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
