Owners of the new PSP slim should also take notice: even though the new model does allow charging via its USB port, the device must first be toggled into a special charging-only mode. By contrast, the Mad Catz cable works with all PSP models (old and new), and you're free to use the system as normal while it charges. That's also the only time when the 8-foot length--which is otherwise quite a bit more than you'd probably need--comes in handy.

One other item of note: the official name of the product is simply "Mad Catz PSP USB Cable," and it's often depicted at online stores with the wrong photo. Indeed, even on Mad Catz's own Web site, the photo is incorrect, failing to show the unique Y-split and power plug. Rest assured, though, that Mad Catz Product No. 8725 is the one that's enthusiastically reviewed here. (The company's similar "PSP Power Pak" includes the same cable, but adds a huge extension battery, as well.)

Nomenclature and photo confusion from the company notwithstanding, the Mad Catz USB Data/Charge Cable for PSP is an easy recommendation for anyone who owns a PSP. For 10 bucks, it's a slam dunk.
