Sony PSP Slim & Lite

I got the Sony PSP Slim and Lite as a gift from work and have passed this one to my partner to use and he loves it. I have used it a few times and have been impressed by the quality of the images that you can get on the screen. The PSP has extra features compared to the nintendo ds handheld. You are able to view the internet without the requirement to go out and purchase extra software. Using this internet feature you can also connect to your PS3 online (if you have one) and watch a film if you have one stored on the hard drive. We have also bought the AV leads to be able to connect the PSP to a tv so have been able whilst abroad to watch a film in our ...  Read the complete review

The PSP Slim and Lite or PSP 3000 is an upgraded version of the Sony PSP handheld. The PSP 3000 looks almost identical to its predecessor, the units size is noticeably less thick than the original PSP 1000 model and they have managed to shed quite a bit of weight from somewhere which makes it a far more comfortable fit to your hands. Other minor changes include the speakers which have been moved to the top of the console, the Home button has been replaced with a Playstation logo and the rear silver band around the PSP logo has been made smaller. The console is still made from a premium finished glossy black plastic which is still very finger print ...  Read the complete review

The PSP Slim & Lite is now in reality in its final year, for a new one will soon be coming out later in the year with upgraded features and games. In the time that I have had my PSP slim though, I have found it to be a fantastic media player and games console, and with the new one coming out, you could probably bag a second hand one for a bargain price. The Slim now comes in a variety of colours and packages, so there are many options for people to choose from, allowing them to choose the PSP that suits them the best and the one that they are most comfortable with. This is because it has been out for such a long time and has become very popular during this ...  Read the complete review

When this was released I felt that it was worth upgrading to from my ordinary PSP. The main advantage for me was that the new PSP slim offered the ability to connect to a TV. As friends are family are often over at my house I thought that it was an excellent feature because it allows you to share the gameplay more easily. The new PSP slim also had a reduced power consumption and so the battery life was enhanced. Of course this is very useful to anyone who is travelling quite a bit and requires a longer battery life. It is also now significantly lighter than the previous version which makes it more comfortable to handle and generally use (Supposedly it is 33% ...  Read the complete review
