 Incredible features, fun gadget February 20, 2008
Note this review is supposed to be for the original "PSP 1000" a.k.a. the "phat" model. The main reason I like this device is for the hacks and mods you can easily do to it. If you know what you're doing you can down grade the firmware all the way back to version 1.5 and from there load any number of "homebrew" applications. Yes, this can be used for illicit purposes but there are actually legitimate reasons. Personally I buy all my games and play them in between various fun homebrew applications. For instance there is one called PSPTube and another called PiMPStreamer.
With PSPTube you can search YouTube videos and play them directly on the PSP. PiMPStreamer allows you for streaming over wifi of existing media stored on a local PC in flash video format. Installing and setting these two functions up may not be for the faint of heart, especially downgrading firmware from any version 3.51 or higher, but these just two examples of the great home apps that can be used.
If you're not interested in all that extra stuff that requires voiding your warranty and/or "bricking" your PSP, the system itself has a lot of impressive features. For instance you can bring up a screen with a bunch of streaming radio broadcasts (assuming you have wireless internet access). You can also subscribe to RSS feeds, though I do not like how they set it up, and a built-in web browser.
The web browser has obvious limitations and a visit to the wrong site will result in an "out of memory" error. I have noticed in at least one example a page formatted for the iPhone seemed to work pretty well for the PSP's browser. Of course, you can hardly blame the PSP for a lack of mobile device-friendly pages on the internet.
Then there's playing videos and audio off the memory stick, displaying photos and the great UMD games you can get. My favorite right now is PuzzleQuest. I don't know if it's any better/worse than the DS or any other version but I think it's really fun.
My favorite portable electronic device January 25, 2008
This is hands down my favorite gadget. In fact, I purchased a second "Slim" model to support the franchise.
Few devices allow you to...
1. Play 3D games that are PS2 quality (DS is N64 quality)
2. Play mp3s
3. Play videos stored on memory card
4. View photos
5. Watch full movies (UMD will die but as a format it's not that bad)
6. Browse the internet (limited)
7. Listen to streaming radio
8. Play multi-player games over the internet with other PSP users
9. View RSS feeds
10. Link with PS3
Right now PSPs are a bargain. With the amount of great games available, I can't recommend getting one enough if you enjoy media on the go.
 It does not come complete January 24, 2008
Negative:
On the adds, it makes you think that once you have the game, you can have fun, but it is not the case. You have to buy expensive memory cards, expensive games, you cannot put any kind of video on the unit (can still watch PSP movies you have to buy) and you have to buy the usb cord to connect it to your computer if you want to download your photos, videos and music.
Positive:
the graphics are nice. You can listen to music with or without earplugs. You can go on the internet wherever there is a connection.
Conclusion:
The game is fun to play, but be aware that everything about it is BUY BUY more to have it complete.

SLOW, HEAVY, SLOOOWWW, DULL, AND JUST PLAIN RETARDED. compared to the new psp at least. Get the slim, I had this one and returned it because of dead pixels and the ridiculous price. You will be pleased with the slim.
Superb unit!!! January 4, 2008

I'm really pleased with the PSP. Just about everything is exactly what I wanted. Music quality is great, videos are easy to convert using the free PSP Video 9, output to television is superb. The only downsides are the wireless internet browser, which, while it connects, is problematic and the need to enter text using a crude letter by letter approach.
