Sony PSP 3000 Rock Band Unplugged Bundle (black)

Light, slim enclosure ; screen offers better color reproduction than that of earlier PSP models ; improved AV output for video and game playback on TVs ; built-in Skype with onboard microphone ; retains all of the impressive media and online features ...

Despite improvements, problems and annoyances remain: screen exhibits noticeable jaggies and scanlines during high-motion video and gaming sequences ; UMD load times still poky compared with DS games ; screen isn't glare-free, and is still a magnet ...

While there's probably not enough to get owners of previous the PSP to upgrade, newcomers will find the PSP 3000 to be a solid portable gaming and multimedia device.

Sony PSP 3000 Rock Band Unplugged Bundle (black): This limited-edition $200 bundle includes a black PSP 3000, Rock Band Unplugged UMD game, 4GB Memory Stick Duo card, and a voucher for "School of Rock" (a downloadable movie available at the...

Sony PSP Daxter Entertainment Pack - handheld game system review

By John P. Falcone

Lighter, slimmer, and sleeker update of the original PSP ; AV output for video and game playback on TVs ; improved load times for games ; retains all of the impressive media and online features of the original PSP ; deep lineup of great game titles ...

Despite improvements, problems and annoyances remain: UMD load times still poky compared to Flash-based DS games ; volume levels still less than optimal ; limited gameplay options via video output ; USB charging option is cumbersome ; screen is still ...

While it may not be a must-have upgrade for existing PSP owners, a host of subtle improvements make the latest Sony PSP (aka the PSP 2000) an even better deal for anyone looking for a solid portable gaming and multimedia device.

The new PSP (which Sony calls "the PSP 2000," to delineate from the earlier "PSP 1000" model) will be available in North America on September 10 in two different versions: a black PSP-only package ($170) and the Daxter Entertainment Pack version,...

Sony says that piracy is killing the PSP

By John Brownlee

There's two schools of thought on why Sony's PSP - a wonderful piece of hardware, even today - has failed so spectacularly. One is that Sony's efforts to clamp down the hardware, its failure to really invest developers in the platform and its ...

Sony PlayStation/PSP phone in 2009

By Matthew Humphries

We last heard about a possible PlayStation branded phone back in September 2007, but those rumors died and we never got one, instead recently getting the F305 games phone instead. Now the rumors are back and a new PlayStation phone could hit the ...

Sony PlayStation Portable PSP-2000 Portable Gaming Console and Media Player

By Chris Chiarella

Sony's lustable portable offers more features than you can shake a Memory Stick at, now including the power to dock with your home theater.

The combination of design specs and available features really put the PSP in a class by itself. Making serious comparison to either the Nintendo DS as a gaming device or the iPod as a multimedia player would be a futile effort. With a gorgeous screen ...

PSP Slim and Lite handheld games console

By Stuart Miles

- Lighter and thinner are the two words used by Sony to promote its new PSP Slim and Lite, but should you be bothered? We get gaming to find out.

Slimmer, lighter

Not much has changed

More of a losing those pounds put on over Christmas than a brand new you

The new front design of the PSP Slim and Lite is virtually identical to the original as is the large screen and the location of the buttons surrounding it. Here and the PSP Slim and Lite hasn't really changed that much compared to the previous...

Sony PSP (Slim & Lite)

By Chris Jager

Still the best portable gaming device on the market ; at least when it comes to raw graphical power

Improvements are largely superfluous, majority of faults remain unchecked

While far from revolutionary, the Slim and Light does add some minor improvements to an already impressive machine. Shame about the pre-existing faults, though.

Following in the footsteps of the slimmed down Nintendo DS, Sony has released a trimmer iteration of its PlayStation Portable; affectionately dubbed the 'Slim and Lite'. Weighing approximately 33 per cent less than the original console and...

Sony PSP Slim & Lite

Preview: It's lost a third of its body weight, boosted its battery life and has faster load times. But can the PSP mark II hunt down that pesky DS Lite?

Smaller and lighter. Increased battery life. Video out. Better loading times

No internal flash memory. New colours not coming to UK

Sony PSP Slim & Lite

This second generation PSP may have slimmed down, but it has beefed up on features and quality, and offers excellent value for money

Excellent video quality ; good value for money ; and think about the games

No on-board memory ; still pretty large ; UMD is dead
