Features of the PSP Console




The PSP console has such a rich set of features that I keep asking myself, "How could something so powerful, so energized weigh a mere 9.9 ounces?"  While the PSP console weighs less than a pound it is power packed with heavy-duty hardware.  Just look at these specs:

  • built-in stereo speakers
  • rechargeable lithium-ion battery
  • battery charge of 3 - 6 hours
  • average battery life of 4 hours
  • USB 2.0 port
  • infrared port
  • Memory Stick PRO Duo slot
  • wireless LAN capability
  • 6.75 inches wide
In addition to the above specifications, the PSP console has a beautiful 4.3 inch display screen.   If you are worried about learning to use another game system, fear not.  The PSP and has the standard PlayStation directional buttons on the left  and the shape buttons (triangle, circle, square and X) on the right. It has a kind of joystick below the directional buttons but the difference is that it’s not really a stick but a button.

The UMD drive is at the back of the PSP console.  UMD stands for Universal Media Disk and is Sony’s proprietary format that holds games and movies for the PSP.  Only Sony-released movies are offered on the UMD disks and since they are read only, it can be quite challenging to transfer video content to the PSP.  It can be done though as a search of the internet will show it is replete with audio and video converters for just this purpose.  It makes this sleek black gadget even more beautiful when you can watch your favorite movies anytime and anywhere.

It’s Finally Dropping In Price

Sony recently reduced the price of the PSP console from $250 to $199.  This will buy you the console, an AC adapter and the battery pack.  There are many other accessories available for the PSP.  Some are not only functional, they are pretty cool.  There are headphones with a remote control, a pouch and a wrist strap.  There are other important but not as existing accessories such as the specially designed static-free cleaning cloths. 

If you want to store videos, movies, music or games on your PSP console you’ll need a Memory Stick Duo.  If you buy a bundled valud pack you should check if a Memory Stick Duo comes with it.  It used to but it may have changed.  If it does come with the bundled pack, check the memory size as it is usually just a 32MB Memory Stick.  If you plan on storing much content on your PSP, you’ll need much more room.  A search on the Internet will get you some good prices. 

The PSP console is not only functional and fun, it's cool to look at too.  It has enough personalization capabilities that there is no need for any two to ever look alike.  You can incorporate your favorite wallpaper to be your PSP background or you can configure the color of the PSP console to automatically change colors every month.
