My PSP Review

By now I am sure most of you have headed to best buy or somewhere to se this thing.

I wont bore you with tech details you can look up elsewhere.

The main problem I have heard people talk about, has been the price. I do hate the fact that you get a "value pack" instead of buying just the system. Headphones you should get, and a AC adapter. But does a soft case really cover the price? The little remote control (wired) should be sold extra as well. The lanyard loop is WHITE, and doesnt really scream masculinity.

The system however, is a very sexy, shiny black with a HUGE screen that displays in 16X9. The button layout is different from any other handheld I have seen and takes some getting used to. If you try to hold like a gameboy (advance) you will hurt your hands. The analog "stick" seems oddly placed but functions fine. I have also had no problems in pressing the square key.

Graphic-wise, this is the BEST I have ever seen in a handheld, games and movies are fantastic! The sound is full and rich. I am getting around 5-6 hours out of the batteries just on games. I havent watched all of the free Spiderman movie (Because it sucks)I just popped it in to look at the screen.

I have to tell you I really wasnt interested in any of the launch titles, I did buy untold legends:brotherhood though. I am more interested in video to go on this thing and that is what I will mainly be doing with it. Its smaller, lighter, and cheaper than a true widescreen portable dvd player. Plus I cna rip my dvds to it or bitorrent aquired movies.

All in all I like it, it seems expensive, but not for all the things its capable of..
