Sony PSP accessories

Sony LF-PK1 LocationFree Player Pak Sony LF-PK1 LocationFree Player Pak
The Sony LF-PK1 LocationFree Player Pak streams live TV to any PC or PSP with broadband access. It has built-in wireless, and it works with any video source, including DVRs and TiVos. It's not quite on a par with the Slingbox, but it's the only device that streams video to your PSP--and it's getting better with each firmware upgrade.

Griffin Technology iTrip PSP Griffin Technology iTrip PSP
The Griffin iTrip PSP transmits sound from your PSP to any audio system with an FM radio. The iTrip matches the PSP perfectly yet doesn't add much bulk or hurt ergonomics for gaming. If you want to bulk up the sound of your PSP without running cables to your stereo or a set of powered speakers, Griffin's iTrip for PSP is a nice--though slightly pricey--solution.

Nyko Charger Grip for PSP Nyko Charger Grip for PSP
The Nyko Charger Grip improves upon PSP ergonomics by mimicking the PS2 controller's design, and its built-in rechargeable battery provides five hours of juice for your PSP.

Logitech PlayGear Pocket PSP Logitech PlayGear Pocket PSP
Logitech knows that the first thing gamers don't want to do when they pick up their PSPs is drop and break it. The PlayGear Pocket PSP's protective polycarbonate case comes in a silver finish, and its lid swivels 270 degrees to block out the sun or become a makeshift stand to make movie viewing more accessible.

Logitech PlayGear Amp PSP Logitech PlayGear Amp PSP
Let's face it: there are situations when you want a louder sound than headphones can muster, and the PSP's included stereo speakers won't cut the mustard. Logitech's PlayGear Amp lets you plug your PSP into a cradle and have amplified stereo output for your gaming and multimedia pleasure.

Logitech PlayGear Share PSP Logitech PlayGear Share PSP
Hate to travel alone? Logitech's PlayGear Share is an audio splitter that divides the PSP's single stereo output into two for shared audio when viewing movies, listening to music, or playing games. Still, you may want to avoid the PlayGear Share while playing any of the PSP's many racing games; no one likes a backseat driver.

Lexar 256MB Memory Stick Pro Duo Lexar 256MB Memory Stick Pro Duo
The default 32MB Memory Stick that ships with the PSP Value Pack will provide ample room for saved games and settings, but it won't allow you to take full advantage of the PSP's music, photo, and video functionality. Lexar's 256MB Memory Stick Pro Duo provides enough space for three to four albums of music, dozens of digital photos, or two half-hour sitcom episodes.

If you're a hard-core music, photo, or movie buff who wants to maximize the PSP's potential as a portable media device, you'll need to spring for SanDisk's 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo card. This is the highest-capacity PSP-compatible Memory Stick that's currently available, and it has enough space to fit a dozen albums of music, hundreds of digital photos, or an MPEG-4-compressed feature-length film. (SanDisk's Gaming line of memory cards comes in bright fluorescent colors but is otherwise identical to its professional line.)
