Sony PSP 3000
At first glance, when it comes to portable gaming, the choices seem plentiful. But a closer examination reveals that there is only one portable gaming system that offers a “true” gaming experience — the Sony PSP. A large 4.3-inch screen, directional buttons and an authentic joystick make the PSP the only portable system for gamers who want the console experience in the palm of their hand. Those who own the original PSP will no doubt be absolutely taken with the PSP 3000’s slimmer, lighter build. But there are even more upgrades under the hood that make the PSP 3000 a no-brainer when it comes to portable gaming — the most notable among them being an LCD screen that features a brighter display with reduced glare. A microphone is now included to allow the use of Skype to call anywhere in the world via the Internet.
Players can also access the Playstation Network via a wireless hotspot to download games and videos. Speaking of videos, the PSP 3000 supports 720x480p H.264/MP4 DVD quality movies, so watching movies is about as good as it gets on a handheld. Put in a 4-GB memory stick and you’ll have enough room for your music, pictures and videos.No other handheld system offers as real a gaming experience with so many multimedia options. If you want the best portable gaming system, there really is no contest, look no further than the PSP 3000.
