PSP Slim Black Portable Console

PlayStation Portable Slim System

Strengths: Graphics

Weakness: Haven't come across any as of yet.

I purchase the PSP for my 9 year old son and I don't play the system. I can say my son absolutely loves it and would play is 24/7 if I allowed him. He said the graphics are really good and when asked if would rather have a DS he replied "mom, come on; the PSP is better".

Pretty Good

Strengths: Video Out, lighter, LCD brighter, game load faster

Weakness: UMD tray looks cheap. not as the same quality as PSP 1000.

The unit itself is very well-designed and comfortable to use. compared to PSP 1000, it is ligher, thinner. There are some other improvement like, faster game load and brighter LCD. But to cut the cost, SONY simplied the UMD tray. You can definitely feel that the quality of slim edition is not as good as PSP 1000. In summary, for $169, it is a good buy.

Great Console

Strengths: Plays games, can handle various different media files, and has internet access.

Weakness: Memory card and disc cover can seem delicate.

I bought my PSP not only to use it as a game system, but also as an MP3 player, and I've thoroughly enjoyed it so far. Considering that it can also support video and pictures files, and connect to the internet, the PSP is a great porable console for any media junky.

Better and Slimmer

Strengths: Screen is much brighter than iPod or previous fat PSP. Slim design.

Weakness: Battery life

This is our 3rd PSP already owning two of the older model. This one is definitely lighter and slim. No more finger prints showing up as easily.

The only thing I have to complain is the battery life which only last about 5 hours for games or movies. You definitely need to buy a 2nd battery for your over-night flight.

Best Portable Video Games in the market

Strengths: Video Out to your TV, Much lighter than Older one, Buttons are raised making them easier to click, The LCD is brighter, eats less battery. Little thing that can do all

Weakness: Can not make CALLS

This is a great portable game console. Easily attaches to the web for internet radio and downloading MP3s. Easy to use, seems pretty durable. Make sure you buy a PSP slim or 2000 case, because the old PSP cases do not always line up with the controls of the slim PSP. The unit itself is very well-designed and comfortable to use.

This is a great portable game console. Easily attaches to the web for internet radio and downloading MP3s. Easy to use, seems pretty durable. Make sure you buy a PSP slim or 2000 case, because the old PSP cases do not always line up with the controls of the slim PSP. The unit itself is very well-designed and comfortable to use. The display screen is incredibly vivid and bright. This is a great portable game console. Easily attaches to the web for internet radio and downloading MP3s. Easy to use, again, it seems pretty durable for now! I can watch movies, pictures, and play music, get on internet and play games. I don't know why didn't they add PHONE to it? I recomend this to any gamer looking for a light but powerfull handheld. I don't give 5 stars, ever, cause something may go bad in future!
