Sony PSP review, 2006

Alright, so it's been quite a few months since the PsP's launch in the U.S, and now we're going to give you our point of view on this gadget. If you haven't bought a psp yet, then this might help you. There is no doubt that Sony's Psp is a entertaining gadget, but it falls short in some areas.

Online
Online game play is somewhat of a problem. Some of the games which have online capabilities have no users playing online.

Videos
Unless you travel alot, the video feature won't be used often. It especially becomes a hassle if ur planning to put lots of videos on the psp. First of, you have to cough up dough for the mem stick, secondly- getting all the videos-then converting them becomes a pain. If you can afford to get umds, then that would be a better choice.

Mp3
The mp3 feature is not that bad. The volume is at a good level, even though the speakers are smaller than tic-tacs. The picture of the album shows next to the song you're playing and it looks really sleek.

Games
The games aren't that bad since there are a good amount of title available now. The graphics are at a good level. (i'd say between ps1 and ps2....not better than ps2)

Now you have to keep in mind that this is the first gadget of sony that can do so many things as a handheld. With that in mind, the psp is really not that bad.

Our point on purchase: Wait for the ps3 release, and if there's a price drop on this, definetly get it.
