Sony PSP 2000

OK you do know SCEA was at first place with the first Generation playstation 2 now when the big corp level hot shots went from bad to sick. this handy portable is made in China using sub-standard parts. I… say. I got my from a delaer where I live. the next think I know it on opening the box for the first time. the darn thing is dead. I taken it to SCEA for service. and SCEA made there choice to kill the service on my brand new PSP. Due to Full cost and defective stickers that is done in China the worlds worst manifactor in computer tech in the world. The support of SCEA is realy bad. then there is a problem. Normaly these days Things are made to be broken like Hewlett Packard the worlds worst Persional computers and the worlds worst Notebook computers in the world. it comes to no suprise. simply Do nothing and let the warrenty die then demand to keep buying the same thing over and over and over. Fight the consumers on rather then helping out. all for the power of money and power. Well I told them I am no longer SCEA and Hewlett Packard customer any more. even Nintendo and Sega is just as bad. Sega of America did not take care of my defecitve produts. Just keep it and sell it to some other customer. I refuse to may hundreds of dollars to fix one bloody disc. Hewlett Packard also dose the same thing as well. When I question there sick evel service and pay up or get the hell out. Sell my computer to some other customer and have Hewlett Packard make the extra money selling the same product twice at above ful retail price. Why are these corp level is ripping off the consumers? The games for the PSP Is to total crap. I lost 450.00 from day one on PSP well game systems ,two games and a memory stick. then the sales tax comes extra. efter speding 70.00 on each game and get 5.00 back from selling it used. and all sales are fianl when I asked for the delaer for exhange or refund. The request was kicked out due to the fact of making copies of the Game System is not allowed. I do not shop at Game Stop/Software etc and Best Buy due to this. Copy the game system? who the heck do I do that? its not a right to for these big hot shots to sell bad products on the market. its noted as black market. Then kill consumer rights is one thing realy rude rembmer todays business ALL SALES ARE FINAL! NO EXCHANGES AND NO SERVICE ON REPAIRS. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK FOOL IS THE CORP LEVEL GAME NOW. ITS TIME TO PUT THE STOP TO THIS. LETS STOP BUYING CRAP! CORP LEVEL SECA(SONY),SEGA,NINTENDO,HEWLETT PACKARD AND MICROSOFT. are designed to kill your credit report and finance lost. I Do have a bad credit report. Due to my doing my shopping with bad brand names products. I am not allowed to apply for a credit card never the less. its that bad. I do not want to see that happen to any one else. What had happend to me

Not long ago I had a decision to make. Did I want to buy an Apple iPod Touch, or a Sony PSP? I only had enough money to buy one, and I was really itching for a new portable entertainment gizmo. After buying… the PSP I'm really glad it was what I decided on, but for very different reasons than I expected. First of all, the reason why I decided to go with the PSP was that you simply get more for your money. The screen is bigger, the memory is infinitely expandable (buy as many memory cards as you want), the battery is replaceable, it plays movie discs should you have the desire, it can play MP3s, and it's a full-blown game system to boot. I initially thought I would use it primarily as a video player, and maybe get a game or two on the cheap. Not quite how things turned out. The screen on this baby is indeed beautiful, but it scratches easier than a pair of cheap sunglasses. The digital controls are perfect, but the analog controls are frustrating (bad placement, wacky sensitivity). The system interface on the other hand is a model of great product design, allowing you to do most anything you might want to do quite easily. For instance, during video playback one button press brings up a mini menu and a second button press can adjust aspect ratio (allowing your wide-screen utube videos to fill the screen with no gaps). The video playback on this device is truly impressive. MP3 playback on the other hand just isn't as intuitive as it would be a full-blown MP3 player like an iPod, so I don't recommend using the device in this way unless it's your absolute only option. The problem with video playback of course is that video takes up way too much space at high quality (I average about 150 megabytes for 20 minutes), and has to be converted to be compatible. So unless you fancy yourself swapping high-capacity memory cards and doing mass-conversions into the wee-early hours of the morning, you aren't going to enjoy trying to watch lots of complete TV shows unless they're around 13 episodes encoded at low-quality. On the other hand, I was quite shocked when I actually started buying games for the system. Most games for the system retail at $30.00 to $40.00 brand new, and can be found used for a ridiculous $10.00 to $15.00. That's on average $10 to $20 cheaper than a DS game used! What this meant to me, is that while I own about 5 DS games that I bought over a period of years, in a matter of a little over a month I bought around 10 games! And these are not underpowered portable games, but full-featured gorgeous console-quality rivaling (or exceeding!) masterpieces like Crisis Core, Daxter, Lumines II, Monster Hunter Freedom, and Ridge Racer! If you are craving more console games like Wipeout and other PSOne and PS2 games, you simply MUST buy this system just for the crazy values! And strangely, there are games that actually BETTER on the PSP than on their full-blown console versions. Lumines, which I had played on the Xbox 360, and Virtua Tennis 3, are both enormously MORE enjoyable on the PSP. Maybe it's just the those games feel when you hold them in your hands, and maybe it's the way the graphics scale down. Maybe it's the great feeling of booting up a game in seconds without turning on your TV. Whatever the reason, there are indeed gaming experiences that are just plain better on the PSP. Now that I've gotten into the PSP scene, I find myself wishing I had a wireless Internet connection, just so I could download some games onto my PSP. I also wish my friends had one so I could enjoy playing some games with them. But even without Internet, the system is an absolutely tremendous value. And now I find myself getting excited for portable games that are coming out, like a portable Gran Turismo, and the next Jak game! If you love PlayStation games or extreme gaming values you need to buy a PSP. Just don't buy one new. You can get a used PSP for a little over a hundred dollars. Now that's a steal!

My son has been bugging me about getting the new Nintendo console. But after researching the PSP, I thought the PSP 2000 would be better. I like it so much, that I want one. But, I promised my son if he… got good grades this last school year, I would buy him one. It keeps him occupied when he's not playing outside. And I bought him headphones so we don't hear it at night. Great console!
