PlayStation Portable (PSP) Value Pack

This system kicks the Game Boy Advance SP and Nintendo DS in the face. It has a beutiful screen (16:9) with no dead pixil's but if you don't protect it with screen protectors it can get scratched and you don't want that with this kind of a screen.This system can play games, movies, music and pictures all through a Memory Stick Duo (The PSP will also accept Memory Stick Pro Duo)or UMD. UMD is the PSP's disk system that can hold up to 1.8GB's. Stands for Universal Media Disk. The PSP cannot play DVD's or CD's.It is also WI-FI Compatible so you can share files or play agenst others in 2 modes; Ad Hoc(Playing agenst others in the same room or household without an internet connection. It's the Wireless version of LAN mode) or Infrastructure(Playing agenst others around the country using a wireless router or "Hot Spot"). You can play up to 8 people in Ad Hoc mode.The battery is a removable battery pack that lasts for hours (lasts longer if you're not using a UMD). The PSP also has a port for an AC adapter or Car Plug.The value pack comes with a great carrying case(The carrying case is just a sleeve of leather and won't protect it if you drop it. You'll want to find a better one to carry it in)strap, starter disk(contains Music, movie previews and game previews), and a remote with earbuds. The Remote is great but the earbuds get uncomfortible after a while and are a pain. You can use any of your favorite headphones or earbuds with the remote.It has a USB port at the top so you can upload files to the Memory Stick Duo or Pro Duo in the PSP without a reader(PSP doesn't come with a USB Cable so you'll need to get a USB A/Mini B Cable) . The USB also allows you to connect with the PS2 for extras with some games. There is an IR port at the top as well for remote access (There isn't a remote available yet).And Finally the controls. It feels very similar to when your holding the PS2's Controller and it feels comfortible in your hands. This is a great system and If your a handheld gaming fan then you'll definately want to get this.

I'm not a big gamer. Have a standard PS2 at home that gets little use. But when I found out this was the portable version of my home PS2 PLUS Mp3 player AND Mini Theatre I was sold.For $249, you get a razor sharp quality LCD TV, MP3 player via Memory Stick Duo (included), and sick gaming system. It almost seems too cheap to be true.Been using for the last 3 hours and must say this is a groundbreaking system. The cool factor is very high here. Can't wait to take it on the train Monday morning for people to awe at!What it needs:Someone needs to come up with a way to rip standard DVD's and even backup standard PS2 games to transfer them to blank UMD disks which this uses. It's probably already possible, the blank UMD media just needs to become available. It is a realistic needed option as I assume Sony doesn't expect everyone to replicate their DVD and PS2 collections in this new format. We went through that with VHS, I WONT do it again.Otherwise, fantastic unit. PSP only titles seem very rich at this point. The video quality is stunning!!!Gil

It's still functional so it's good so far.

This thing is amazing. I bought it almost 5 years ago and it still flawless. First of all this game has the original and best version of lumines ever. Lumines is the most amazing puzzle game and if you goto [...] now and look it up you will see that it was one of the most highly rated games of all time. 2nd someone just gave me there old 1gb memory card and I plugged it in a month ago and was able to connect to the psp store and download Castlevaniea Symphony of the Night. Are you kidding me another top rated game stored on removable media. I mean this thing was so far ahead of its time its not even funny. The load times are slower than the newer models but it amazes me that everything was so well made and still works flawlessly half a decade later. UMD forever!!!

Got exactly what I ordered, if not more than my expectations! The seller was very helpful to answer any questions and concerns I had. Even more so giving me suggestions and different choices of what color I wanted for my PSP; giving helpful information on the condition of the different colors of the PSPs to help make my decision on which one I wanted more certain. Would buy it again most definitely!

If you're not familiar with technology and how it works, don't purchase used products from this guy. I purchased an older PlayStation portable for my granddaughter. The device stayed in a box for over a month because I was traveling and not home when it arrived. When I was finally able to open it and get it ready for my granddaughter, I discovered I couldn't download any of the game purchases I made, because the manufacturer no longer supported the old device. When I asked for a refund, the seller said he couldn't because the purchase was more than 30 days prior. I noe have a device that will never be used. And game purchases that can never be downloaded. I learned my lesson TGF hard way. Always purchase the new technology!!!!!!!!!!!!!
