thank god for this amazing console

The PSP is the best portable game console we might ever see. It holds everything you need; video, music, pictures, games, homebrew, and a built in web browser. Even though the PSP will cost you around $169, you couldn't ask for a better portable hand held media device. =]

It's a great Handheld, but I got bored with it too quick! Great for Road Trips to watch movies, and listen to music!

It's features are still plain amazing to this day; and for a fraction of the price of a PDA that has similar functions.

It's like a tiny laptop mixed with a PS2.

Mine psp is hacked and works IR remote! OH HELLYEAH ps1 games and homebrew are the best ! emulators eg...Great Product.

ALWAYS BEST IF YOU HACK IT

Okay, I’m going to rate this product the old fashion way. Let’s assume it is not hacked because rating a product on its hack-ability is as useless as rating my coffee machine on the bases that I could install custom firmware on it and make its do more than coffee. What I’m trying to say is that you can hack almost everything so for now were just going to look at its ground level potential.

Moving on …

The PSP in my opinion is probably the most versatile portable device available in today’s market. If you stack up the feature set alone it likely out ways every other product in and out of its category.

Number 1 feature: Obviously it’s primary use is for gaming.
Number 2: Video player
Number 3: Audio player
Number 4: photo viewer
Number 5: a multitude of online capabilities
Number 6: removable storage ect ect…
Number 7: with the PSP Slim you have Skype

Alright, having said those things you could potentially have the best portable device (in terms of entertainment ever). If you think about it, you would never need anther MP3, video, or photo viewer. This of course comes at a price for memory capacity. However, in theory you could purchase a 64 GB memory stick pro duo (which in actuality is not far from being released) and have your entire music photo and video collection on the go. Would that not be the best? Unfortunately even the 32GB memory sticks are 600 dollars. So it will be a little while before you go running out to get a 64GB. Although on the bright side, storage capacity is climbing exponentially in comparison to how much space music and video takes up. Even having music ripped at the highest losses quality you could still fit it all on one of the available audio player out there.

Gaming, I’m not going to even talk about that. Its pretty dam good and there is a lot of fun titles out there. And to be honest, until someone else comes out with another gaming device, this one is the only one besides the DS, which I will not try and make a comparison. They are like apples and oranges.

Online capabilities: Well assuming you have a decent wireless router and you have configured it correctly, I could not complain. My brother an I always play Socom online together and it’s pretty freaking sweet. One gripe I do have with the online part is related to the internet access. For some reason I find that my PSP caches way too much and has trouble loading some WebPages. Don’t know if anyone else has this issue.

Removable storage: Well that all depends on how big a memory stick you own. I have an 8 GB. It’s nice to have my info on to go.

As for Skype… Don’t have much to say here because I don’t use it. However, the PSP Scene seems to be pretty hyped about it for the most part.

So overall this little device is astounding. I don’t really see many downsides besides the rather expensive memory sticks. Also for a price like 160 dollars you can't go wrong.

The best handheld game consles in the world. The PSP can do hundreds of things. Thank god for Sony and DA

I love this product as it is hackable and portable.

Its still best handheld game console. Hackable gives it +1 star.

Great handheld product,specially since its hackable!!

I think that this, the original PSP is the best handheld console on the market. I use mine for Games, listening to music and reading eBooks with my favourite app bookR :)
