Summary: I have been wondering wherther to get the old PSP now the new one was out! And it had better features too! i have also check the price and it was roughly the same, so i guess this is a must have for non-PSP owners who had been looking for PSP like me...

"New PSP slim owners who need a case!" on by ACason
Pros: Size matters, and smaller is better!
Cons: Flimsy UMD door cover.
Summary: I havent touched my old PSP in months! Except for the flimsy door for the umd, I ove everything about this PSP.
If you're looking for a good protective case, I've done some research already.
After reading a multitude of reviews about various crystal clear cases for the PSP slim model, and checking out cases available in B&M stores, I finally chose to get the joytron (nuritech) case.

It was a relief to find that they actually did what no one else seemed to - they produced a case that fits PERFECTLY. Every connector port, button, and door is fully accessible, and yet my psp is completely protected from dust, scratches, and fingerprints.
The case also adds very little bulk, so that my psp still fits in a soft travel case for extra protection on the road. Just like other reviews said, it appears very thin when you take it out of the box - but it took 2 seconds to snap it on my PSP and voila! It's awesome. -
"Worthier than the original PSP" on by Eexpert
Pros: Better styling, refined PS2-like graphics, less bulky, brighter screen, more features, and slightly improved battery life.
Cons: Fragile, still a little expensive, and can be better.
Summary: SONY PSP, AN ANTI-PORTABLE GAMING CONSOLE!!!(Just kidding)
Apparently, the PSP is a great system with lots of optional features, better style, PS2-like graphics, and a bigger wide LCD screen for a portable device(not big enough to enjoy watching a movie, looking at the screen for a long time can damage the eyes). But I think in games, value, and quality-wise, the DS is far more superior than the PSP. The Sony PSP is by far the best(maybe the last) competitor to Nintendo in the handheld gaming market. I think that a successor to the PSP, not to be rude, a little ridiculous, because I don't think graphics and advanced technology could get any better for a slick handheld system after 3~5??? years from now. Plus, adding a hard drive to the PSP will make it way pricier, bulkier, and have lower battery life than the predecessor which is already too low for a portable device. I don't see the PSP as a must-own thing. If you already own a MP3 player like the iPod, a PS2, PS3, DVD player, and a GBA, etc. you probably do not need a Sony PSP(no offence: playing music and videos capabilities are not standard for the PSP). A small memory stick duo on the PSP costs more money. I am sure that in the near future (obviously due to the company's success in portable game systems), another possible Nintendo handheld device would have a bigger, wider, brighter screen, more "innovative" features, faster and more advanced graphics similar to that of GC (which is hopefully possible). And In comparison of the games: PSP has almost the same(UMD-disc miniature-version) games of the PS1 or the PS2. To be truthful, I am neither a Sony or Nintendo fanboy. Both the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS are absolutely terrific-quality, unique, successful, and well-planned systems compared to the mediocre Xboxes or the rushed, American-made, early-launched 360s at least. If you want an innovative handheld gaming system with decent graphics and fun games, the DS is better for you. The PSP is perfect for Playstation lovers and fans.
AGAIN, The multimedia system Sony PSP is mostly not worth it. Its fragile screen is too small to watch movies and it would hurt your precious eyes. Also the games are mostly poorer quality similar to those of the PlayStation 1 and 2 console. Yes, it plays movies and music. But, these bonus features of this system are limited and optional. Buying additional supportive things or accessories (memory card, games, UMDs, screen protector, etc.) for the still expensive PSP will cost much more money. Overall, this is an unnecessary portable gaming device in almost every degree. -
"Sony psp, cant go wrong" on by narn3049
Pros: Excellent gaming device
Cons: The browser is a little slow and no physical keyboard, however it is made for gaming.
Summary: got this system, in 2008. I had always loved my PS2, and used it a lot, and sorta missed playing it when I was traveling. So this was a good alternative. This is able to be paired with a PS3, and play games off of that, however now that I have an XBOX360, that feature is sort of unusable. I use it for a lot of gaming, and the battery has still pretty good charge. I've used it for heavy web usages, and before my iPhone, this was the thing I used the most for the web
The only complaint,. I can think of, is that there is no actual physical keyboard, when browsing, or entering stuff on a game, which means you have to keep tapping the x and scrolling to different letters to find the letter you want, this takes awhile, I mean imagine if you were typing an email? I'd done that once on it and it was so hard, I didn't want to type on it, again but still did. It also can get a bit cramped keypad, being that when I was using it, and fast controlling of a game, and intenser it got, my hands hurt LOL.
I know my complaints are geared towards web browsing, and that really isn't a complaint, because well, it's a game console, it's not made for heavy web browsing, it's a nice feature to have, but it's not there for heavy use. It is an excellent system -

Picture load times are really slow.Summary: This works good if you are going on some kind of trip. You have movies, music, pictures, and even video games. This is a good portable gaming system.
