Sony Playstation Portable Overview

 

Sony have entered the handheld console market with the Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable). The PSP is what it says, a PlayStation compacted to the size of a handheld. This is shown by its supreme power of two 64-bit chips, which out powers its main rival the Nintendo DS.   Much more than just a hand held gaming console the Sony PSP also plays UMD movies and can connect wirelessly to your Playstation 3 console to allow sharing of Music, Images and game data.  In 2009 Sony released the Sony PSP GO! Console which boasted a massive 16Gb hard drive and new crystal clear 3.8 inch LCD screen.

Introduction

 

The PSP is targeted at those who love the experience of PlayStation's of the past, but on the move.

 

The Sony PSP uses a UMD (Universal Media Disc) which means this disc can be used all around the world and does not have restrictions regionally which hampers the use of DVD-style discs, like in the PS2. This also means that music and video can be played, increasing the PSP's functionality.

 

October 2009, saw the launch of the PSP Go, a sliding version of the original. This gives a more ergonomic layout and leaves the screen at a higher position, which also helps the gaming experience. The PSP Go is also shipped with a massive 16 GB internal storage - which gives you the option to add other media files to it.

 

Games

 

With hundreds of PSP games available on PlayStation Store (PSP) and in stores on Universal Media Disc, the choices for gaming entertainment are endless. Be it God of War: Chains of Olympus, Gran Turismo or the Grand Theft Auto series, PlayStation Store has them all and much more including demos and PS one classics.
