Introduction:
~~~~~~~~~~

The Psp Slim or Phat, whichever one you own is probably the best handheld that you will ever buy. Being a owner of the NDS already, I was enticed to buy a PSP so that I could own both. And I must admit, I am not disappointed in my purchase. With the edition of the Slim version, it makes it even more worth while to buy one of these amazing handhelds.


Design:
~~~~~~~

First off, the design for the PSP is amazing. The enormous screen that is presented to you makes one want to stare at it all day. The button combination follow the standard Sony Playstation set up with the d-pad to the left and the cross,square,triangle,circle buttons to the right.
It even has its own analogue stick located under the d-pad along with shoulder buttons too. To sum up, the layout is flawless and easy to use.

The nice different colours you can obtain now vary from gold to the normal standard sleek black. Everyone will be able to customise their own PSP to suit their taste of colour. I myself love my White PSP.


Games:
~~~~~~~

The PSP uses UMD's that can both play movies and games depending on which ones you purchase. The games category is so much to name that you would be sitting here for hours just seeing what is currently available for you to choose.

Well known games such as Tekken, Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core, Tales of Stories, Pump it up etc are all ready for you to play.

With such an immense selection, you have to worries of ever getting bored with your PSP.
