The PSP utilizes the Universal Media Disc (UMD) for a storage medium, each of which holds 1.8 GB of data.

The PSP gaming library is hundreds of titles strong and covers a wide variety of genres. Whether you are seeking the hard hits of football or the strategy of a puzzle game, there's sure to be many games for you. The PSP is capable of graphics quality that is comparable to the PlayStation 2, but in a pocket-sized package that you can take wherever you go.

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.)

Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5 Factory Refurbished from Sony store, 2010-03-13
I bought a factory refurbished PSP-3000 from the Sony store when I was traveling. I did not buy it from Amazon.com. The sales clerk said it had a 90 day factory mail in warranty. It worked ok for a few weeks. I went online and downloaded the latest updates from the Sony webpage. The latest updates were version 6.20. Big mistake! A few days later, I started having problems. It wouldn't turn on. The power light would come on, but there was no video or no audio. I called the 800 number in the manual and spoke to the customer service rep. She informed me that Sony factory refurbished products ARE NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. Sony support is just horrible! I went online to look for a possible fix. There were hundreds of other PSP users who had the exact same problem. I tried every possible solution. I still have the green power light with no audio or video. Since I bought it when I was traveling, I can't take it back to the same store where I bought it. Now I have a 'brick' as the other online users call it. I will never buy another Sony factory refurbished product again. Warning - if you have a Sony PSP do not download the latest updates from the Sony website!

Really fun to have one. It can be used as a media player also which is GREAT for me because I travel alot and I get bored sometimes. Oh, and the Wifi Browser is right on time. You should get one.

Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 The Best!, 2010-03-07
We all love the PSP don't we? One of the best portable sytems. Even connect it to your PS3! I'm guessing this Core Pack only comes with the system itself, right? I wish I could get it considering that my PSP 1000 has an unknown virus! Has anyone ever heard of the RSS Sample Channel Virus? If you download the Sample Channel (from the RSS Channel) it comes with a fun little virus! The best part about it is that it won't let you use the RSS Channel, the Internet Radio, internet browser, connect to the internet, or connect to your PS3! Isn't that great?! I really wish I could order it but my mother would get mad at me if I did. Moral of the story, WHEN FIRST USING THE RSS CHANNEL AND IT ASKS YOU IF YOU WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE SAMPLE CHANNEL, DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR ELSE YOU BE WELCOMED INTO MY WORLD. Worst part is, it's irreversible (I think). It must be considering the fact that I've looked everywhere on Google and YouTube for it and haven't found it. No one knows about it! I know this review is mostly unhelpful but it doesn't matter to me how many times you say it's unhelpful because that's true. Great system, buy it if you can, don't download that channel, and have fun.

Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 Gotta love it, but not very comfortable., 2010-03-05
Worth the money because the graphics and sounds are top notch. The great sound can only be enjoyed with quality headphones, not the built-in speakers. The only complaint I have is that it's not very comfortable, but this thing is so cool that I have to give it the 5-star, but it's more like a 4.5-star product. God of War and Assassins Creed are highly recommended.

Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5 More than a stress buster., 2010-03-08
I bought this from Amazon a few weeks ago. When ever I want to buy electronic goods, I run a complete research of the product by visiting websites and reading their reviews. Just to mention one such website: [...]. As far as I am concerned, the SONY PSP 3000 is an awesome handheld gaming console which you should definetly buy it if you are a serious gamer. Sure there are many other consoles like the DS LITE. But, I think SONY PSP is the best there is. The PSP boasts of a LARGE SCREEN, WI-FI capabilities, SKYPE, great graphics, sound, video playback. The product is very well designed especially for gaming purposes. This is as close you can get to a PS3 or a PS2. The system lasted long enough on a fully charged battery. The bottom line: "Best handheld gaming console".

PROS:
-Large display(4.3"), great graphics, weighs lighter than its previous versions.
-Web browsing.
-Has the Largest games collection for a handheld.
-Play your PSP games on TV.
-Can be used as a controller for PS3.
-Good audio and video playback.
-Customization (themes, wallpapers).
-SKYPE.

CONS:
-The outer skin of the PSP is a fingerprint magnet. Though they disappear when wiped with a soft cloth.
-Mandatory addons such as memory card, headphones, UMD game discs, USB cable or a card reader for file transferring do not come with the PSP pack and HAVE to be bought. Thus making it much more costlier.
