Games & Gear : Sony PSP Value Pack

The PSP is amazing. I was going to buy a PS2, but this one works the same and it fits my Nomad type of life. The screen is the coolest thing ever. It is like carrying around a little plasma TV. My only concerns are with breaking it and the number of movie titles that will come out. The more people that invest in a unit the better that this thing will become. Hide Full Review

The only thing that I can say is that Sony outdone themselves with these new product. To the people that are contemplating into buying this new device, the only thing that I have to say is that it is really worth the money. When watching Spiderman 2, you can definitely say that the picture quality of the PSP it's so great, that I don't think that any portable DVD player in the market comes close to the picture quality that the PSP has to offer. The games look awesome, it is very bright and the collection of games is very attracting. The headphones that come with the PSP have one of the best sound qualities that I've ever heard. Even though everything is great with the PSP, there are two things that I don't like about the PSP; the battery life and the analog stick. I personally don't see the point of the analog stick on the PSP and the battery is good, but it's not great. Overall, I think the price is very reasonable and I think that the PSP is worth the money. I will definitely recommend anyone to get it, because it will meet and surpass any expectations that you have on this gadget. GO OUT AND GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hide Full Review

Most peoples first reaction when debating to buy will be yeah but what about the price? Well I had the same concern when comparing it to the nintendo DS, but after making the plunge I realize it was probably worth much more than I paid. After taking it out of the box there is a serious WOW factor involved, the widescreen draws you in and its not bad to watch a movie on either. The fact that it has the ability to download pictures, movies, videos, mp3 on the memory card out of the box and has wireless connectivity just makes this an immensely versatile little machine. Add in the analog nub as well as d-pad for gameplay and youve got yourself a serious gaming machine! The graphices are impressive, gameplay is fantastic it goes way past anything done on a handheld and is on par with a home system. The only drawback is the sound is a bit lacking for movies, sure you can plug in the supplied headphones (much better) or buy a stereo stand to watch on but the movie aspect is one thats not going to drive this as a reason to buy anyway. For games the sound seems more than adequit and the soundtracks on the games are outstanding and very to date with the current scene and should appeal to most tastes. As a movie/game/picture/music portable device its hard to knock but like anything else if you try hard enough you can find something and that something is that to drive such a device it takes alot of juice and the battery while not terrible is a bit short if your used to the gameboy or want to watch alot of movies. Sony is investing heavily in R&D in battery development so they may have something in the pike sometime soon, but 3rd party developers have picked up on this and pelican offers a powerbrick that will charge your psp battery an additional two times or allow you to hook directly and keep playing. It is small, light and only 19.95 and I highly recommend if your serious about getting a psp. On the whole there are not going to be too many people that once they get ahold of this are disapointed and as such sony cant make enough to keep up with demand. But if your doing your research before dropping that kind of cash, expect to be wowed by the display, impressed by the graphics, consumed by the gameplay, annoyed at the battery and at the end of the day happy that you chose a sony psp.

AMAZING. I got this little gizmo for my brother the day it came out. But when I took it out of the box, I could keep my hands off of it. The amazing little gadget can do anything I can think of, play music, pictures, movies, and beautiful games. Also, it is upgradeable. This is a much more versitle tool than the DS. If you can drop a few bucks, go buy it now!! I mean NOW! Hide Full Review

I won't say the battery life is a con because what handheld system has a long battery life? And don't talk to me about XBOX!!! All they do is wait to see what Sony does and mimic it. They'll come out with a handheld game, and yeah it will probably do more, but why do you want to buy from a game system that bites off another. Go with the original and Sony is the original. Iv'e already bought two. One for me and one for my wife. That's right, my wife. I bought MVP Baseball and I haven't put it down yet. And yes, I have it on my PS2 and my PSP, but who cares. Best 80 bucks I ever spent!!! I'd rather spend my dough on a real game system than on a poser like XBOX. And if you XBOX clowns have a problem with that, just let me know. XBOX can bring out their handheld and I'll just laugh. Because all it will be is a regergitated, paper copy version on what Sony has perfected, the handheld game system. Something the DS, Gameboy, or Game Gear couldn't do. So XBOX, don't even try it!!! OUT!!! Hide Full Review
