The PSP's screen has to be seen to be believed. Watching movies and playing games on it makes you forget you're looking at a handheld.

The PSP is essentially a portable PS2, in terms of processing power. It is the most powerful handheld gaming system out, far outstripping Nintendo's offerings. It plays UMD format movies, and you can also copy MPEG-4 encoded movies, as well as MP3 and ATRAC3 audio, to the memory stick and play them on your PSP.

The battery life can be a little short for some people, but the few who need to be ableto use it for more than 4-6 hours at a time can buy accessories that give the PSP 2-3X more battery life.

At the moment, the game selection is not as large as that of other handheld and console systems, but it is very large for a system that has just launched.
