Comment: The PlayStation portable (to give it its full name) isnt a new product, having been with us since 2005. Weve always admired it for both the brilliance of its mobile gaming and the sheer tactility of its interface, but itd be fair to say it hasnt al...
Good: Bright, colourful screen, superb user interface, excellent mobile gaming, increasingly broad range of features
Bad: Still limited in content options and capacity next to some alternatives, although theyre not games consoles

Comment: The latest incarnation of the Sony PSP now has an improved screen with a higher resolution and built-in microphone for chatting via Go! Messenger and Skype. With the new screen glare is a thing of the past, while offering a brighter, more vivid display...
Good: Nintendo may have mastered touch tech but Sony still delivers the eye-poppingest on-screen action. The latest PSP’s anti-glare display has more colours, half the response time and five times the contrast ratio of its predecessor, giving you punchy...
Bad: The pumped-up screen occasionally shows annoying scan lines and doesn’t help the mediocre battery life (though switching off Wi-Fi will). Tweaking the TV Out to support older, non-Hi-Def tellies is hardly fair either – how can we justify that...
Bottomline: This is still the most powerful mobile gamer out there, with kick-ass titles like Patapon and FIFA 09 proving there’s life in the old handheld yet. Best offers for the Sony PSP-3000Amazon Marketplace £149.99 Marshall Ward £169.00 Sony PSP-...

Bad: Screen exhibits noticeable jaggies and scanlines during high-motion video and gaming sequences; UMD load times still poky compared with DS games; screen isnt glare-free, and is still a magnet for fingerprints; Web browser and data input can be cumbersome...
Bottomline: While theres probably not enough to get owners of the previous PSP to upgrade, newcomers will find the PSP-3000 to be a solid portable gaming and multimedia device.
Comment: While some still consider it a second banana to Nintendos nearly ubiquitous , the Sony PSP has sold more than 41 million units since it appeared on the scene in 2005. Sony released a second-generation version--the --in 2007, giving it a slimmer and li...

Comment: While some still consider it second fiddle to Nintendo's nearly ubiquitous DS Lite, the Sony PSP has sold more than 41 million units since it appeared on the scene in 2005. The company released a second-generation version in 2007 -- the PSP 2000 -- ...
Good: Light, slim enclosure; better colour reproduction; built-in Skype; deep line-up of great game titles with better graphics than Nintendo DS games
Bad: UMD load times slow; screen isn't completely glare-free and is still a magnet for fingerprints; no built-in storage
Bottomline: With its impressive game library, lower price and expanded feature set, it's certainly a much better deal than the original PSP -- and it's even better than the PSP 2000. While its media and online functions won't necessarily replace a dedicated AV de...
Comment: Disastrous proprietary Universal Media Disc (UMD) format and haphazard software selection aside, we thought that the original PlayStation Portable was pretty terrific, what with its big, sharp LCD screen and noteworthy multimedia prowess. The handheld ...

Bottomline: If youve resisted the urge to pick up a PlayStation Portable of your own, theres never been a better time to jump in. Carrying forward everything good about the pocket-ready gaming/multimedia powerhouse and leveraging one of Sonys greatest strengths...
Comment: The changes Sony has made elsewhere are minimal. Theres a built-in microphone, so you can make use of all the games that require voice input. Which is no games. Itll come in handy for using Skype, but wed imagine the number of PSP users that use Sk...
Good: Decent build quality and screen. Still thinner. Still lighter
Bad: Awkward controls. Video codec support still hobbled, making it an awkward media player
Bottomline: Still a great media and gaming machine, but not the comprehensive remake we were after ...
Comment: No change here...Well not much. If the evolution of the original PSP phat to the PSP-2000 slim and lite was a small step, this is a shuffle. From the box, the PSP-3000 looks the same, but there are two key component changes - Sony has sourced a ne...
Comment: Sony PSP 3000Äntligen har jag stiftat närmare bekantskap med PSP. Sonys svar på bärbara spel som faktiskt klarar sig ganska bra på marknaden. Med tanke på hur det gått för det andra företag, förutom Nintendo, som försökt sig på det där med bärbart och...
