Good Points
The only serious adult hand-held console
Bad Points
1. Wi-fi pretty basic but reliable to contact PSN
2. The HOLD button is not in a reliable site, quite often during the heat of action, one can inadvertently switch off the system. As a result, one has to start the stage all over again. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT FROM ALL PSP USERS IN GENERAL! Sony please listen.....build it somewhere away from the fingers/ball of the palm etc.

    Summary: More than 5000 units had been sold of Sony PSP 3000 in 2005. To revise its success, Sony had launched the PSP 2000 in 2007 with few tweaks, slim profile, and ability to output to TV directly. Now, the company has come back with Sony PSP 3000 with...

    Conclusion: If you need a handheld gaming device with excellent graphics and online features, then buy – the Sony PSP 3000.

    Pro : Slim and lightweight body; better color reproduction than its predecessor; revamped AV output for game and video playback on TVs; inbuilt microphone for preinstalled Skype app and games; impressive online and media features; numerous games with better...

    Cons : The screen shows scalines and jaggies while high-motion gaming and video scenes. The UMD games take more loading times than the DS games. The display captures fingerprints even on gentle touch and it is not glare-free. The data and Web browser inputs...

    Summary: The latest incarnation of Sony's handheld games machine, the PSP-3000, is possibly the most powerful, visually-lavish handheld console that money can buy. But is it perfect? Far from it…

    Conclusion: No one can accuse the PSP-3000 of lacking power. Lacking in new features, though, is a different matter.

    Pro : Great, anti-glare screen

    Cons : Screen can go fuzzy at times. Not enough new features

    Summary: The Sony PSP is undoubtedly one of the sexiest pieces of handheld kit available, and it's already had one makeover (see

    Pro : Okay, so the Nintendo DS is a cutesy, fun, touchscreen-toting handheld, but Sony still provides the glorious eye-bleeding on-screen action. This third incarnation of the sleek, black multimedia machine boasts a screen with more colours than ever...

    Cons : Don't get us wrong, the screen is glorious, but occasionally you do get some annoying scan lines, which can mar your gaming/movie-watching experience. Also, battery life was poor before, but with the expanded screen sucking it dry quicker than a kid...
