 A Fair iPod touch Alternative September 18, 2008

OK, so I was very happy with my iPod touch, but sticker shock got the best of me. I decided to go for something a little different, and so I jumped on the new PSP-2000.
A little background: I had a launch PSP back when they first came out. I liked it then, but it was very limited by a lack of software and support.
Fast-forward to today: I'm quite happy with the PSP-2000 as a media device. It's lightweight, slim, and doesn't take up much more space than an iPod touch. It has user-replaceable battery packs, and you can upgrade the memory as you see fit. I grabbed an 8GB Memory Stick at a bargain price, and I'm happy with the amount of data I can store on it.
Other bonuses versus an iPod touch:
* Controls for games.
* Built-in stereo speakers.
* WiFi switch allows you to turn off WiFi when you're not using it.
* Bigger screen.
* Extended battery available.
* Comes with wall charger, but can be charged via USB just like the iPod.
* Costs MUCH less than iPOd touch.
* Web browser has limited support for Shockwave Flash (iPod doesn't).
* Supports more media formats.
All in all, the PSP is a great choice. It's too bad Sony is still marketing it as a gaming console, instead of aiming it at the adult crowd looking for a media device. On the gaming side, however, I'm having a blast playing PSOne games that I downloaded from the Sony Store. The iPod touch can't play Castlevania Symphony of the Night, can it?
Yep. Definitely happy with this purchase.
 Amazon shuold screen their sellers October 15, 2008

I ordered this product in August 2008, and just this week I received my refund. This seller lied twice in stating that he sent the item, and after two letters to Amazon, Amazon finally decided that yes maybe you did have some problems with this particular seller.
I think resent more that Amazon beat around the bush before responding to my two inquiries.
I gave low ratings because thanks to the deceitful nature of the seller, I could not play the game.
 PSP Slim...slim on value as well? October 17, 2007

I always wanted a PSP system, and with the revision I thought it was finally time to buckle down.
The system surpased my expectations in more ways than one, however, I found out that the silver and white ones come with a UMD movie, memory card, AND a game for 20 dollars more? Is black that exclusive that it's not worth all of that money?
The system is great, but please, if you're interested in getting the PSP Slim get one for a better value.

I sold my older "fat" psp back in June, and missed it miserably over the summer.
Months later the black psp slim finally appeared on amazon,
I pre-ordered as soon as i could. It was sure worth the wait!
I love this new psp, far more than the previous one.
It is drastically lighter, and does definitely feel slimmer in my pocket.
I love how the back is shiny now. The new positions of the speakers and memory cards, and wifi switch are actually better.
I also got the component cable, it works fine, except for the game black borders, but really, I won't be using it to connect to the TV, i just like knowing i can if i really want to.
I bought the psp the day it came out, and have loved it since,
its great to see a stellar system only get better.
Overall, i would recommend this psp to anyone.
IMO the silver one looks cheap. classic piano black, ftw.
take care.
