CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Lighter, slimmer, and sleeker update of the original PSP; AV output for video and game playback on TVs; improved load times for games; retains all of the impressive media and online features of the original PSP; deep lineup of great game titles that offer better graphics than Nintendo DS games. 8.3
out of 10View score
The bad: Despite improvements, problems and annoyances remain: UMD load times still poky compared to Flash-based DS games; volume levels still less than optimal; limited gameplay options via video output; USB charging option is cumbersome; screen is still too reflective and a magnet for fingerprints; subtle redesign missed the opportunity to add even more features.
The bottom line: While it may not be a must-have upgrade for existing PSP owners, a host of subtle improvements make the latest Sony PSP (aka the PSP-2000) an even better deal for anyone looking for a solid portable gaming and multimedia device.

Great Travel Companion
Jul 10, 2008Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Ligher, Brighter Screen, Feels Better on the hands
Cons: Hi megapixel jpeg viewing slow.
Opinion:
As soon I got mine, I quickly found out 2GB is not enough. Although the 8GB stick was expensive at the time, I got it anyway. Now, there's enough space in there for a few Converted Movies, and music for a good travel.
There are lots of uses of this device, the list goes on and on all over the internet.
I only wish it could do AJAX on the web browser to support Meebo and GoogleMap then it would be absolutely perfect.
Typing is somewhat similar to SMS, not so graceful but it does the job.
Using a USB mic and Skype via Wifi works great. I put in on standby in Skype when I'm not using it.
I'm sure it has enough processing power to perform video conference with skype in the future, I wish they start working on it ASAP.
One thing ironic, I use it more for viewing movies, ... Read more
A great companion.

Pros: Design, slim, media powerhouse, wifi & inexpensive
Cons: Fingerprint magnet, tad too wide
Opinion:
Though I do not actually own one but my bros does have. The reason for me not getting one is because I do not see the need to play games on the move as I rather play at home with a bigger screen and good sound. But just about everyday, I always see many ppl are playing around with it. More than how many I saw a DS lite, I can understand why is it so since it is no just a gaming device but as a mp3/video player and also internet browser. The design is still fresh even though its been around for couple of years already but still kinda dislike its glossy finish as it will smudge the entire screen and also find that its a bit too wide to called portable.. But still a fine device in other aspect.
