Considering a PSP-3000

It is a gaming device first and foremost.

That said it can play videos, music and view/store pics and any other data.

The 3000 also has a brigter screen and mic included.

Skype capabilities... free psp to psp calls or psp to pc calls. For a small annual fee or pay per minute fee you can also call telephones via your psp. (requires wireless internet).

Thats all I got, if I didn't game... I'd probably still have gotten mine because my girlfriend can watch movies on it when we go camping, so I get to go fish in peace :)

Appreciate the info, looks more tempting to purchase.

If you get a PSP, you will not be disappointed. There are plenty of good games already out and you can get em pretty cheap too. The thing I like about PSP is that when I get tired of playing a game, I can turn on some music and keep going. Can you listen to music or watch full length movies on a DS? I went from a 1000 to a 3000 and it was worth it (not knocking my Phat cause its still in perfect condition, but a little worn out). I think that DS is for the children, PSP is for the grown 'n sexy gamer like myself. 8)Willy_D

people would want to use the psp for movies and music because:

1. simply because you can

2. VERY large screen compared to an ipod

3. easier to carry around one thing for all your entertainment needs

plus, on a side note, don't knock psp games. I have played much psp and ds and I can say that the psp is probably much better for people used to console gaming. If you don't think there are good psp games, give games like Daxter, Syphon Filter, and Prince of Persia: Rival swords a go.

Why would I want to watch movies on a handheld? And music? I think I'd rather slip an Ipod in my pocket than lugg around a PSP. Personally I bought my handheld for the games.. That's why I got a DS.Samox

They are sorta worth the money I guess?Lukers777

In my opinion, Pink DS is suited for girls and perhaps.. only for young girls. Although the other DS colours are suited for kids, due to the majority of games being
made for a broad range of people. What are the chances of seeing a MA15+ game on DS? fat chance.Fyrhtu

I'm pretty sure there are already M games on the ds, just look it up

the scanlines are not a big problem(i have a psp 3000).TheMagicThing

I've been a PS3 owner for quite awhile now and have been considering on getting a PSP-3000 sometime soon (hopefully during the next price drop).
Although my main intentions for owning one is not for gaming and not clear on why I should want one.

Could anyone simply list the interesting features or simply why it's good to own one?Fyrmest

If doing non sony liscenced sony stuff is your thing, stay away from the 3000. Either way it's up to you.JigglyWiggly_
