+ Excellent Graphics, for a handheld Console, ability to watch movies on the move, easy to use and plenty of games and UMD's to choose from.

- Battery power is not great, button configuration, is not ideal as use of the L shoulder button is akward, plus a second analogue stick would be welcome.

Victor, Portsmouth

+ very fast clear picture quality and excellent sound through good quality head sets, very light nice to hold

- too easy to push the pause button when playing action games as this can quite often cause problems if cought in a place in the game where you will have to play from the begining of the level that you are already nearly through, the battery life isnt realy long enough when pl;aying action or fast paced games i think that a spare battery included with the acessory packs would be a very commercialy viable option as this would give sony an advantage over the competition alaso sony need to make all of there previouse ps2 games available for this system e.g. all the medal of honour games and sdo on (the action games that made them so much money)

Stephen, Milford Haven , “Young at heart”

+ The PSP has very good picture definition. Flexibility, with the ability to provide many different capabilities. Good design and ergonomics, easily slips into the pocket or bag. The multi function ability games, music, films, photographs - all in one.

- Not enough tools and project driven software for the more "adult" user. Weight, can be a problem in light weight clothing. Also, the ergonomics which makes it easy to slip into the pocket BUT also makes it easy to slip out. Combined with the weight of the PSP, this can be the cause of many damaged units.

+ Excellent product. It was primarily purchased for watching childrens movies & TV programmes (converted from TV / DVD's, using appropriate software), as well as listening to music for our young daughter. We have not used it for games or the net yet, but that will follow. Great value for money as we purchased the 'Pink' one.
