Sony PlayStation PSP System

Reviewed by: legendaryreds4ever

Duration of ownership: 3 Years

Strengths: large lcd screen, design, ease of use, analogue stick, games

Weaknesses: price, analogue stick keeps on jamming, laser reader for disk drive that has broken down.

Overall: great product, but TAKE CARE OF IT! the laser for the disc drive on my psp has broken down. cost of repairing it costs the same as buying a new one. however, in my country, they've stopped slling the original psp, and only carry the slim & lite, which has had it metal protective chassis removed (thats what i heard). thus, im abandoning it.

Weaknesses: it's slow at loading the UMD, but it's not unusual

Overall: The PSP is great. I take it everywhere with me, and I'm never bored. Whenever I have nothing to do, I just pop up my PSP out of my pocket.

Strengths: Easy to use. Exceptional video, music qualities. Game graphic is phenominal.

Weaknesses: Wish to have more storage

Overall: I bought this PSP for my son but I've used it more often than him. Converting movie mpeg2 to mpeg4 takes a little time. This is a perfect portable player. Most softwares to use can be found and download free on line.

Strengths: Well built, the "wow" factor, good control, great LCD screen, fast access.

Weaknesses: UMD is super slow, the black finish/screen are smudgy/fingerprint magnets, LCD screen has lots of ghosting, poor RPG/strategy game selection now, slow to resize movie, and trouble transfer big files.

Overall: Where do I start? Pro: It is well designed and well built; Everybody who has seen it loved it; All love the clarity of the LCD screen; The controls are well organized, perfect fit; User interface of the PSP is top notch; MP3 playback quality is great; strong battery life; smart charging where it will auto shut off when full to conserve battery life (not sure, anyone confirm/deny?). Con: Accessing UMD is slow for both movie playing and especially games. Very annoying; The reflective black finish and the LCD screen are constantly full of oily smudge from fingers, gotta learn to live with it; Watching action movie on the LCD reveals lots of ghosting. Which means the LCD's response time is poorly slow. I did not expect this from SONY. Very disappointed; Also the movies are a bit on the dark side, making it a bit hard to see; Resizing a full 2 hr movie to PSP friendly size will take your PC at least 2 hours (highest quality on both video and audio); And then, good luck with transferring that huge 1.7GB movie file via USB2.0 cable to your PSP. It often stop 1/3 or half way. WTF. I only succeeded once and I don't know how it happened.; Poor RPG/strategy game selection out there. Heck, it has been out for years now, no? What's going on, SONY?; Got mine new and it is 2.01 firmware version, which means I can not downgrade it to 1.5 to play all those home-brew applications, utilities, games, and emulators. Which may make PSP shine as a real portable gameing machine that have value to keep.; And why does it have Korean, ..... but no Chinese language ? Oh well, that is my rave and ranting. Hope this helps. I may play with it for a bit and sell it.

Strengths: Graphics, design, games, MP3/WMA player, Video player, Picture viewer, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi internet, absolutly stunning

Weaknesses: Battery life, sound, hands sweat when played for a long period of time, scratches easily

Overall: The PSP is the best portable gaming system out now. It does everything you could think of. it plays games, movies, music, views pictures and even goes on wireless Internet. I would recommend getting the "Giga Pack" because the memory stcks get pretty expensive, rather spend money on boy/girl friend. Well there is nothing bad to say about this system. Its Sony afterall.
