PSP Systems

PSP systems (PlayStation® Portable) consist of gaming and multimedia entertainment consoles and accessories that allow the user to run different video games and programs. You can also enjoy music and movies in various digital formats. Different PSP models have unique functionality and design features to suit different gaming and programming needs. Consider the PSP model and the available accessories and games when shopping for the right PSP system.

Some PSP Models Support Non-Retail Games and Programs

Some PSP models allow the user to run non-retail games and movies that are not in the PlayStation Network. The systems are well-suited for homebrew software developers who can put together their own PSP video games. It is also recommended to buy an advanced PSP system and downgrade the firmware to allow for a full homebrew playing experience with PlayStation 2 or PS3.

The PSP-3000 Supports All-Around Gaming and Entertainment Performance

The PSP-3000 boasts a UMD drive and memory stick slots to allow for the flexibility of playing downloaded and UMD games and multimedia content. Find a reliable memory stick for your PSP console so you will not need more than one. The rechargeable battery is user-replaceable, and anyone can easily change it when it runs out. New upgrades have a much brighter screen, and they support a more versatile range of PSP games, augmenting the user experience.

Portable Handheld Game Systems Provide Tons of Games and Entertainment

Portable handheld gaming consoles provide entertainment in any environment because of their mobile size and versatile library of games and entertainment options. The essential factors to consider when choosing portable handheld games include size, storage, entertainment library options and battery life. Hybrid consoles provide a dual functionality dock that allows gamers to switch between a portable handheld and traditional home console. Choose a console with upgradeable storage so that you can expand your gaming and entertainment library without running out of space. Hybrid portable handheld gaming systems feature two controllers that you prop on a table while playing with each hand to prevent hand and arm fatigue.

PSP Accessories Augment the PSP Gaming and Entertainment Experience

Some PSP accessories, such as carrying cases, headphones and memory sticks, help you get the most out of your PSP console. Carrying cases provide physical protection from falls and scratches, and they allow you to display a variety of customized skins. Memory sticks come in handy when you need to expand the entertainment and gaming library for PSP systems without built-in storage. Some consoles come with entertainment pack bundles that may include a 1GB or 4GB memory stick, and they are well-suited for storing more games and multimedia entertainment content. A good pair of headphones is essential for music and movie streaming and comfortable in-game communication. Most PSP consoles have in-built microphones, and they work well with any headset with a standard 3.5mm jack for Skype® calls and audio streaming.
