PSP: Handheld gaming system developed by Sony, a competitor to Nintendo's DS. The PSP is a great handhelp, but suffered a few drawbacks early on. The PSP uses UMD's (Universal Media Disk) to run it's games, which can hold about 1.8 gigabytes of data, more than enough to run a game with great graphics and a large lifespan. The PSP has a varying battery lifespan depending on the game you play, or what other funtions you use, such as watching films or music. A game that has a lot going on with great graphics will have a shorter battery life, wheras a simple puzzler will have a much longer one. The PSP uses a simple, effective memory stick for game saves, music, updates, and anything else that takes your fancy. You do NOT need to buy these to run your PSP, as it functions perfectly well with the 32 megabyte stick provided, or the 1.0 gigabyte stick provided with the Giga Pack. You DO need a larger stick to run the PSP at it's full potential, but it is not nessasary.

Buddy 1: "Hey man is that the new PSP? Awesome, can I have a go?
Me: "Sure, Lemme just finish this level and save."
Buddy 2: "I wish I had waited a month or two more and bought that instead of the DS."
Me: "Don't feel bad man, once Buddy 1 here is done on it you can have a go and I'll try Mario, okay?"
Buddy 1: "Wow this is awesome!"
Buddy 2: "Yeah!"
Me: "Mario ain't bad, but why do those trees seem so flat?!"

Get the PSP mug.A mobile handheld gaming system created by Sony. Stands for "PlayStation Portable". Is capable of playing movies, MP3's, viewing images, and playing games. Hackers have found a way to use a hidden browser included in the game "WipEout: Pure" to use services such as Internet browsing and instant messaging. This is possible with a wi-fi connection using the built-in IEEE 802.11b IO device. Multiplayer gaming also uses this device to allow 16 players to connect through Ad-hoc mode. In the future, Sony will release firmware updates that include a browser and other PDA type functions.
It has a large 4.3 inch 16:9 Widescreen display capable of displaying 16.77 million colors. The refresh rate however isn't so great and sudden rapid movements cause light ghosting to occur.
With the screen brightness on level 2 and the volume at 50%, you can average out at about 5 hours of game time depending on the game.
A 333 MHz processor and 32 MB of RAM allow the PSP to create graphics no other handheld gaming device can compare to.
Sleek styling, sharp graphics, and many features make this the best choice for a gamer on the go, or tech freak.

The Nintendo DS is a great device but the 23 year old design (Do a google image search for "Multi-Screen Game & Watch") and 10 year old graphics make it a 2nd choice for most gamers.

A famous portable device that is hated by nerdy nintendo fanboys and is WAY too overrated by PSP graphic whoring dumbasses
Who cares, both handhelds are good so far. Just cause the PSP plays Mp3s (Ever heard of CD PLAYERS) and videos/movies (Quite impressive) doesn't mean its incredibly good instantly.
Be GLAD sonyroolz isn't here.

Get the PSP mug.Stupid waste of money portable system. It costs $250, and all the games so far suck. I mean sure, the DS didn't have many good release titles, but it had a lot of games to look forward to in the future. (Metriod Prime Hunters for example.) The PSP has nothing, and will have nothing for a very long time! Its probably going to end up like the N-Gage, only rich people who have nothing better to spend their money on will buy it and it will eventually fall apart. Sony is just asking to have its ass kicked by trying to compete with Nintendo in the portable market.
Person #1: "Hey look, I got a PSP!"
Person #2: "Well I got a DS!"
Person #1: "Hah, watch this!"
*PSP explodes*
Person #2: "What the hell did you do?!
Person #1: "I tried to play a movie..."
In conclusion, the DS kicks the PSP's ASS!

Get the PSP mug.A phone version of the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP; more specifically, the PSP Go) that is watered down like any other GoPhone. It is expected to be released March 2011.
The Sony PSP GoPhone will offer about 75% of the quality that you would expect on a regular PSP and 50% of what you would expect on a typical current-generation cellphone.

Get the PSP mug.Something that only oblivious, rich, and ignorant gamers buy. Bragging about it's ability to play movies, music, and what-not, people forget to mention that you need the memory stick in order to do anything, and the sticks that're out now do not hold much.
Having to re-buy all the movies in Sony's UMD format, and with a majority of it's games being poor rehashes and ports (but still get good scores because of ignorant fanboyism) it screams, GIMMICK! But people still buy this trash anyways because the gaming industry is being flooded by casual gamers that know squat. (not insulting, it's the truth, sorry the truth hurts folks)

Casual gamer: (way too overexuberant) Yo man, I had to rip 350+ dollars outta my butt to get the PSP, a rehashed game, memory stick, and a movie I already have!! I'm so awesome!
True Gamer: Sucks to be you! XD I hope you and your family starves now that you have no money! Eventually leading up to the event of cannibalism in order to survive!
