The PSP (PlayStation Portable) is a personal entertainment system unlike any other. No matter where you go or what you're doing, with the PSP, your games, music, videos and photos are always within arm&rsquos reach. You&rsquoll never battle boredom again!The PSP is an ultra-powerful portable entertainment system with exceptional visual comfort equal to that of the PlayStation 2. Its wireless mode allows you to communicate with other PSP users without using cables of any kind, so you can join in on multiple-player games wherever you are.This little gem is much more than just a video game console, however. You can record your favourite tracks in MP3 or ATRAC3plus format on its Memory Stick Duo and listen to music as you move about, or watch films, music videos or your own footage in UMD format. The large screen and high-quality stereo sound will make you believe you're holding a cinema in the palm of your hand!For digital camera owners, the PSP system will save your best photos on its Memory Stick Duo and create a superb slideshow to impress your friends.Whether you're on the move, at the office or around the house, any time you need a distraction, the stylish PSP Slim & Lite has just the entertainment solution you need. The PSP Slim & Lite is smaller and lighter than its predecessor. The battery life has been extended and the charge time and back-lighting improved. This console even has a video output for even more options.

I think Abi's review is totally missing the point and should know how to use it first before making things up.

Doesn't have Internet options? You know you have to have a connection first yeah? LOL.

I also have a PS3 and got the play TV for it and can't wait to stream live TV to my PSP. Looking forward to having SAT NAV on it soon as well. Got loads of films lined up as well as mp3's too oh and I heard it plays games as well, lol.

It looks really polished and cool but agree with other posters that the underneath could have been better but perhaps a decent case will help that.

Great buy for those who know what it can do.

I bought a PSP about a month ago, and i can truly say it is terrible

The screen will crack really easily, the games are not fun atall, it has no online features, and it is just terrible.

If you want a good gaming mahcine, get a DS
It has lots of excellent games, the screens wont scratch as you can close it and it feels like it wouldnt shatter if you dropped it from 10 inches (unline the psp)

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

The PSP is really a multimedia player, supporting photos, MP3's and video on it's large screen, as well as a decent internet and games support.
The games and UMD's released for it, however, are a joke.

I think that Sony should scrap the idea of a UMD based console and re-release it as a games compatable multimedia player, with a faster processor, built in solid state memory (like the ipod has) and a touch screen & stylus.

Either way, a good quality multimedia player as it is, at a low price with (now) cheap memory.

If you are having problems connecting to the internet then forget about updating it. Although the Sony site instructs updating through the memory card the interface has no updating option other than through the intenet so if you can't make the connection you are knackered. In editing the internet connection settings it doesn't retain the previous edit and there's only so often you can enter a 28 digit WEP key to no effect on the cumbersome text input without wanting to ram the thing down Mr Sony's throat. The help and contact details on the site take you to FAQ's and no contact details. Not impressed.

The PSP 2000, commonly known as the PSP Slim and Lite is a great console. When I first go my PSP out of the box I was stunned how light it was. I have never had a PSP before but even so I was amazed by it's lightness. The Wifi was easy to set up and works brilliantly. I have not yet tried out music yet but listening to the sounds from my games,it is top notch.

I have only bought one game so far and that is Fifa 08 which is good. The problem with the PSP is that there is obviously no multiplayer option apart from online play. However the PSP makes up for this by being a handheld.I plan to buy Call of Duty 3 and some other games aswell.

Overall the PSP Slim and Lite is an excellent handheld with brilliant games, and... it's a whole lot better than the Nintendo DS!!!
