Customer Reviews:

I almost gave it four stars . .  [Posted on 2008-08-25]
But as I thought about it more, I can only give it three. I've played and owned all the sytems: XBOX and XBOX 360, PS3, the GameCube and Wii, the DS and now this is our second PSP (I wanted one of my own--I originally bought the Star Wars bundle for my kid).

The good:
This is a high quality product, much like the PS3. I'm an XBOX fanboy probably but the quality of the Sony gaming devices cannot be denied. It's nice to hold in your hand. It's well put together. It's attractive.

The screen is absolutely fantastic. I bought a DS for myself and gave it to the kids because it just felt too "old tech." I don't care about touch screens. The PSP screen is the best I've seen in handheld gaming.

The bad:

The PSP loses its first (of five) stars for AWFUL CONTROLS. I appreciate their inclusion of the thumbstick--but to exclude the other? And the location of the thumbstick? I STILL haven't figured out how to hold it comfortably (in my fingertips? Pressed against my palms?). Maybe one of the grips would help.

The second star loses because of the game selection. I don't want scaled down versions of games I've already played on the XBOX 360. I bought this on a whim for Space Invaders Extreme, a fantastic game. Was recommended Killzone, and find it intolerable. Thankfully, another recommendation, Syphon Filter Dark Mirror turned out to be a pleasant revelation--I'm actually thoroughly enjoying that and wish others were more like it. I don't like all the button mashing action games (read: God of War.


So, overall, it's a VERY nice device, with a less than stellar control scheme (comfort wise), and a less than stellar catalog of games (for my tastes).

I don't regret buying it at all--just wish there were more games for it.

PSP Review [Posted on 2008-08-25]
The product was intended for my 7-year old's birthday and she loves it.
It has good graphics and is easy for her to work with. She should get a few good years out of it!

good times [Posted on 2008-08-26]
this is a great buy psp is an amazing handheld system and the god of war game is really cool. it has out standing graphics, intuitive controls, and is one of the best games i've played (assassins creed being the best so far ever) would be a great way to start yourself off into the portable gaming craze of today. the psp is an amazing device with great features such as internet browsing mp4 play back and photo viewer it cant be beat by any other portable gaming device on the market every one should have one of these makes long days go by a lot quicker.
