The Sony PSP console has been on the market since the end of 2004 but it is still one of the best portable gaming consoles. IThe PSP console will also play mini DVD disks which can hold films or music as well as play games on this excellent games console. The PSP like all sony games consoles is a great shape and design, the PSP has rounded edges making it comfortable when holding it in your hands as it should be.
The PSP besides being a little heavy, is a large device. Like the Nintendo DS, you are not going to carry it around in your pocket. Transport via backpack or gear bag is the best way. The display on the PSP is large and has excellent graphics. It has to be the largest handheld gaming console screen to date, at 4.3 inches diagonally.
The main interface is simple and easy to figure out even without reading a manual or user guide. Basically you have 5 main functions across the screen. The main functions are Settings, Photo, WIFI, Music, Video and Game. Setting up WiFi was a snap. Basically just allow it to use all the defaults. I didn't even tell it the name of my wireless network (SSID) and it connected just fine. I was able to have the PSP check with Sony to see if there was a software update. The great thing about the PSP is you can take it anywhere, so why not invest in a Sony PSP and get entertainment on the move.
More on the Sony PSP
Games and officially licensed movies come on Sony's proprietary UMD (Universal Media Disc) media, which are housed in protective cartridges. The UMD drive is grafted to the back of the unit; you load it and snap it shut just as you would a camcorder. The top edge also sports infrared and a USB 2.0 port that you can use to link the device to your PC or Mac, though no USB connection cable is included.PSP's video prowess may be its most impressive trait. As we previously noted, the display is a 4.3-inch TFT LCD with a 480x272-pixel resolution and 16.77 million colors; by comparison, each of the Nintendo DS's two screens has 256x192 pixels with 260,000 colors. The picture quality from a UMD movie such as Spider-Man 2 is superior to what you'll see on most portable DVD players, though the majority of DVD players have significantly larger screens.
PSP plays many types of audio files without your having to convert them to Sony's proprietary ATRAC format first--a common problem with the company's earlier MP3 devices. You simply drag your audio files into the music folder on your Memory Stick Duo card, and they'll show up on the PSP. Firmware-updated PSPs can play MP3s, ATRACs, WMAs, WAVs, and AAC-encoded song files, though not the copy-protected versions from Apple's iTunes Music Store. The device supports M3U playlists, but if you have your playlists in another format, you'll need to find and download a converter. However, as basic as the PSP's music player is (read: iPod Shuffle with a screen and no autosyncing capabilities), it will be adequate for many people.
Last but not least, the PSP has built-in Wi-Fi capabilities. Getting our handheld up and running on even a WEP-encrypted home wireless network was a breeze, and the PSP lets you save multiple wireless configurations so that you can connect from multiple locations without repeating the setup procedure each time.
