PROS: The PSP has the best graphics I've ever seen on a handheld system to date! I have friends who couldn't tell the difference between the PSP's graphics, and the PS2's graphics.
CONS: The controls are a bit jerky at times, and sometimes the "shape" buttons don't alsways work right away. The analog "nub" can easily get cloged with all sorts of gunk as well.

I think it has sufficient features. It will fulfill all the requirements of people. Because it supports so many videos as well as images extensions with more memory size in a single piece of device..

it's pretty good for the cost. It's $180 now. Lots of games are coming out for it. But it's missing a few key features that would be nice. But i'd recommend it for any video game player.

Think of having a real 3D video game console that is portable. Awesome right? But don't stop there let it play movies as well. Then use the awesome technology from the company that brought us the Walkman, to listen to all you music with crisp clarity
