The 4.3-inch wide screen display is bright and beautiful, and works well under many different lighting conditions. If you prefer, you can also connect your PSP to your TV. The PSP utilizes the Universal Media Disc (UMD) for a storage medium, each of which holds 1.8 GB of data.

Watch Movies and Videos On The Go
When you just want to sit back and enjoy a movie on a long plane trip, the PSP has you covered. The PSP offers two options to do this: you can either purchase full-length movies and TV shows on UMD, or you can download videos onto your computer and transfer them on a Memory Stick Duo for playing on your PSP. Included in the package is the movie National Treasure 2 on UMD.
You can also watch recorded television content downloaded to a Memory Stick Duo with the TiVo-To-Go service. (Please note that this requires $24.95 fee, you must have a TiVo Series2 connected to your home network.)

PSP 3000 - Excellent upgrade (2009-06-26)
Hello,
I just upgraded from a PSP2000 model, decided not to wait for the PSP-GO as I don't like to be too much on the bleeding edge of new tech devices.
Let me first say the screen on this model is far superior to the previous models in every way. Richer colors, and a brighter display, make gaming on the go much easier on the eyes!
The built in mic is a nice touch for online gaming and Skype. Also the device has been more streamlined. The edges,corners, etc. are more rounded now. Feels a little better when holding it for long periods of time.
For those new to PSP - Besides gaming, you can do a LOT of stuff with this device. On the Playstation store you can download games, movies, TV shows, and more. And now that iTunes is DRM free you can easily put your music on the PSP as well. Drag and drop or download Sony's Media GO (PC ONLY). For Mac users get PSP-Ware or Missing Sync. These work well and are not expensive.
If you don't have a PSP, get it. And if you are considering upgrading from the previous models, you won't be disappointed.
PSP 3000 instead of PSP-GO (2009-06-25)
Well I decided to go with the PSP 3000 instead of the GO. The main deciding factor was that the GO has a smaller screen size which is just not cool with me. Also the 3000 WILL take 16gig memory cards so the GO has no advantage there and may be at a disadvantage without a UMD slot.
The 3000 is slim, well built, and has a nice feel in the hand. The screen is large and brilliant though glare and fingerprints remain to be a problem. The speakers sound great for how small they are and the system has lots of power with reasonable battery life.
I do not think it deserves five stars though because the web browser is clumsy and slow. I also wish that the PSN was more integrated for those of us who also have PS3s. Trophies and profile info should be the same for both systems and both systems should be able to contribute to your collection of trophies IMO.
Also, you can count the games worth owning on one hand. I bought this system just to play Crisis Core, (totally worth it btw). But on the horizon are many amazing titles like Peacewalker and GT, now is a good time to get a PSP.
PSP 3000...... Shoulda kept the 2000 (2009-06-23)
I sold my PSP 2000 prior to the release of this product to get the highest worth out of my PSP.
Granted, I have no issue with the PSP-3000, I honestly do not feel there is a noticeable difference between the 2000 and 3000.
If you have a PSP 2000, i say keep it.
excellent product (2009-06-22)
I had no idea what I was buying, as it was for my son for his 17th birthday. It was exactly what he wanted and it was here on time and in excellent condition. Thank you for the description of the product as it really helped with my purchase.
PSP 3000 system (2009-06-13)
No issues with the system yet. Ordered a memory stick at the same time and still have not received it 3 weeks after I received the PSP speedily. Can't get everything you want I guess.
