Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable)

By Randolph Ramsay on 29 September 2005

It looks amazing and plays games and movies just as well. The PSP is an outstanding portable games machine and a decent movie player, but we'll have to wait for the next version for better music and picture functionality.

    I've had my PSP for over a year now and I have love it very day. It is just a fantastic gaming console. Not even a single problem.

    • Good: -Fantastic Games
      -Great Graphics for what it is
      -Web browser
      -Easily hackable to play any game you want
      - Can now support 8GB pro duo
      It plays MP3 and Videos and you can see photos
      -Battery life is superb (Even after a year I am still allowed at least 5 hours of game play or movie play back)
    • Bad: Absolutely none whatsoever!

    Apparently the DS is aimed at 6-12 year olds. So I ask you: would you rather sneak around a secret military base, aiming to recover confidential documents, and then watch a movie when you're bored, or make an **** of yourself and yell into a microphone, then jump on mushrooms as some guy in a red cap?

    • Good: -non-retarded games
      -sweet screen
      -movie-watching capability (i've never really been a music person, so video playback is a big plus)
      -powerful 3D (unlike the little piece of crap inside the DS)
      -play homebrew without spending up big
      -updated firmware (which is regularly hacked so you can play homebrew on it) always seems to add something new
    • Bad: -It doesn't have two screens (Whoa! stop the show!)

    Pointless overpriced waste of money and time...ive already sold mine

    • Good: - Web browser and multimedia functionality
    • Bad: - Price
      - Lack of good games
      - Glossy screen
      - Dodgy Battery
      - Hardly any games that support wireless
      - No softwear functionality
