Sony PSP 1001

After roughly a decade at the top of the home console industry, Sony decided to tackle the portable system market--one heavily fortified by Nintendo's Game Boy Advance and DS. Sony sought to take down Nintendo by adopting the tactic that made the PlayStation 2 such a runaway success: by offering sophisticated, graphically intensive games and a heavy dose of multimedia functionality. The device is called the PlayStation Portable (PSP), and in addition to playing games of PS2 graphical quality, it can play music and movies (downloaded or via disc) and surf the Web. It may not be the best handheld media product on the market, and the games lack the innovation of ones on Nintendo's portables, but as an all-in-one device, the Sony PSP is king of the hill.
From an aesthetic perspective, the Sony PSP is a gorgeous device. It's one of those gadgets you immediately want to get your hands on but vigilantly want to protect once you set it down. Weighing essentially the same as the Nintendo DS (6.2 ounces, including removable battery) and measuring 6.7 by 2.9 by 0.9 inches (WHD), the body feels well built and solid in your hand. Although not a lightweight, it's by no means a brick, nor, we suspect, would it be especially durable in a fall; you'll want to treat the PSP just as gingerly as an iPod or a Palm-style PDA.
The centerpiece of the handheld is its especially impressive 4.3-inch wide-screen display (480x272 pixels, 16.77 million colors). The screen is flanked by controls that will be immediately recognizable to fans of past PlayStations: the directional keypad is to the left of the screen, and the familiar square, triangle, circle, and X buttons are to the right. We dug how Sony managed to include an analog "joystick" below the directional keypad. The stick isn't raised like the analog controls on a PS2 or an Xbox, but it conveys that multidirectional element that gives it a joysticklike feel.
In lieu of the PS2 controller's four total shoulder buttons, the PSP has two: one per shoulder. Ergonomically, the device is OK but not great; as with most handheld gaming devices, you'll have to do a little finger stretching every 15 minutes or so to keep from cramping up.
The PSP uses Sony's recently created "cross media bar" interface. You use the directional keypad to horizontally navigate through Settings, Photo, Music, Video, Game, and Internet icons, and each section has other icons attached to it on a vertical axis. All in all, it's a simple and elegant way to access the PSP's many features.
Games and officially licensed movies come on Sony's proprietary UMD (Universal Media Disc) media, which are housed in protective cartridges. The UMD drive is grafted to the back of the unit; you load it and snap it shut just as you would a camcorder. The top edge also sports infrared and a USB 2.0 port that you can use to link the device to your PC or Mac, though no USB connection cable is included.
The good: The Sony PSP is a slick portable gaming system highlighted by an impressive wide-screen display and PS2-like graphics. It also boasts built-in Wi-Fi, a Web browser, and the ability to play music and videos, as well as to store images.
The bad: The Sony PSP's multimedia functionality is underwhelming, especially for video, requiring expensive memory cards. The load times on the UMD games can be excessive.
The bottom line: The Sony PSP elevates portable gaming to the next level, but its multimedia functionality falls short of its full potential.

This item work great. The seller send all item mention. The game is great the only thing I didn't like was that he didn't send the screws for the item but other than that the item was great.

Contact with the seller was excellent. he also gave me instructions on how to unmod it if that's what I wanted

well,is a good game system... the graphics are very good!!! I am happy with my purshased of my psp one of the features that I like about this game system is I can play music or watch movies.thanx

I love this great deal and great seller thanx! Very fast delivery and really cheap shipping rates on top of a easily fixable psp with accessories.

The o button got stuck but it was just because it was sticky. Cleaned it andeverything works fine! A lot of scratches but barely noticible when turned on. A little crack in the screen but going to get a screen protector.

Bought a used PSP for personal use, excellent condition, just as described in the listing, would buy from this Ebay seller again without hesitation.

The psp 1000 is a good system, got mine for a good price. By bro has a 2000 and the only main problem i really have with the design of the 1000 is where the wLan switch is, its too easy to accidentally switch off..

other than that it is what you'd expect buying a psp 1000,

item arrived today shipped this past weekened on very fast delivery product is in excellent condition looks brand new and works great..thank you very much..

Everything was as expected Just as he said it is great to do business with this person i will for sure but from him again!

It's a study piece of equipment, thick compared to the 2000/3000 series. Those have a tendency to break if you sit on one. There's not much less that it can't do compared to the others in the series. I'll keep my 1000 series thank you.

Item was exactly as described. In "like new" condition. functions perfectly. Seller sent "extra" stuff, much appreciated. A good buy for me.Brand new would have cost much more.

the psp is in great condition and has all the other electrical parts also in great condition as describe. it also has a very clear screen and all functions well.

This psp was better looking in person than its picture but it works just like the seller said and we recieved everything the seller said came with it. My son is so pleased with the psp.

Thanks for shipping so quick,my son loves it.. he plays it al the time just what he wanted for christmas

Seller answered questions fast and the answers were correct. device works just as described by seller.

It was as good or better than described. I received the Sony PSP in record time. The seller communicated very well and kept in contact until I received the PSP and saw that it worked well. My son loves his PSP. He received it for Christmas.

The PSP is in great condition, comes with a several accesories, everythink like new. I think seller is a very god seller.
