The fundamentals of game consoles (PSP)

Definition: The PlayStation Portable, or PSP, a portable game console from Sony. It was released in 2004 in Japan and 2005 in Europe and North America.

The PSP is primarily a game console (PSP games on UMD or Universal Media Disc, format), but can also play movies in UMD format. Using a memory stick, the PSP can play music files and video files and display images such as photographs. This handheld console can also connect to the Internet via a web browser (not incuded in firmware early) and built-in Wi-Fi.

As its name suggests, the PSP - or PlayStation Portable - is a smaller version and lightest Sony PlayStation. Not as powerful as the PS2, but more powerful than the original PlayStation, and has built-in screen and speakers so you do not have to plug it into anything to use.

Sony also announced an add-on camera and a GPS device for use with the PSP, expanding its capacity even more.

What does this mean?
Basically, what all these specifications luxury down to a kick-ass machine portable console with amazing graphics for its size, it can also play movies and music, display photos and image files, browse the web and with each new version of the new firmware, including things cooler. Ugh!

As to whether or not to buy one. . . so, you will have to decide for yourself, but I have never regretted buying mine.
