Sony PSP Giga Pack PSP-1000 G1 - Handheld game system - black

This is an amazing piece of hardware. It is good at doing a lot of things, and has a lot of nice features.

PROS:
-Screen - HUGE! Bright, vivid and sharp!
-Graphics - This system is almost as powerful as a PS2, and is portable.
-Memory Stick Expansion - The PSP supports Memory Stick PRO Duo. What's nice about this is they make up to a 2GB capacity sticks, so you can get close to 500 MP3s (plus saves) onto one card, or close to 3 Full Length DVD Rips.
-UMD - Universal Media Disc is the propietary medium in which the PSP runs. They can fit 1.8GB of memory, and can rotate at a relatively fast speed.
-Wi-Fi – This doesn’t just have Wi-Fi, it has wireless internet via access point. With the latest updates you can even check your e-mail on your PSP. You can connect to people nationwide on a growing line up of online games, and play them head to head.
-Accessories - THERE ARE TONS! Like the iPod, there are stero speakers; there are charge cases, extra batteries, designated headphones, screen covers, skins, etc. You won't have any trouble finding ways to make your PSP not only original, but last a long time.

CONS:
-Dead pixel issue - Most PSPs have dead pixels as many LCD screens do - As a caution, if you buy a PSP, see if they offer a replacement plan just in case! To test for dead pixels, you can upload random colors onto your Memory Stick PRO Duo and see if there are any "specs."
-Battery Life - As you've heard, the battery life is very lack luster. There are plans to release larger capacity batteries, but I'm sure at a great cost to your wallet.
-Lack-luster software - The PSP has a really good launch. There were three or four games that really stood out. Lumines, Ridge Racer, Wipeout Pure, and Tony Hawk Underground 2. But everything after its launch has just been okay, if that. There isn't a whole lot of variety in the games, with limited RPGs, RTS, Adventure, and innovative titles but more games coming within the next year look VERY promising!
-Design - Aestetics are right on. This machines beautiful, sexy, and nicely put together. But its a con because its bringing PS2 games onto a handheld with one analog stick... and that one analog stick is very awkward to use.
-Load times - 40 second loads are atrocious!
-Not to user-friendly- connecting to anything is a hastle, but they have tons of webpages for that, so don't let that stop you.
-No S-Video - I know one question a lot of people had was, "can I watch my PSP movies on my TV?" No. There are methods in the near future that will be readily available, but nothing with just a cord.
-PRICE! - $299.99 is EXPENSIVE, especially due to the fact that a lot of kids want this!

ESSENTIAL EXTRAS:
-Logitech Playgear case
-Import a better screen cover
-Rag in a bag - keep your finger prints off your PSP for $.99
-USB to USB-A cord - doesn't come with one
-Games - a Sampler Disc is the only thing playable in the box. Burnout Legends is my personal recommendation for a first title.
-Movies - HUGE Library, and new one each week. (Sin City – Recommended!)

IMPROVE YOUR EXPERIENCE:
-Cycle the battery when you get it
-Change screen settings to medium brightness
-If you have an original PSP, have 2 memory cards, 1 for gameplay, and 1 to not have the updates download to play Emulators.
-Buy stereo headphones
-A USB - USB-A cord

BOTTOM LINES: Despite some flaws, this machine has a lot of potential that is currently being unutilized, but most definately will in the future!!

My son bought a PSP and was thrilled. However the machine kept freezing up for some reason. After contacting the seller, I have to admit he/she was very professional and reimbursed us immediately. I DO NOT beleive that he/she intentionally sent a faulty product. Some things just don't work out but my son sure appreciated his or her professionalism and we would have no problem dealing with this seller again if the chance presents itself.

No complaints Sony have always been my first choice even better now they have come down in price to make them affordable.
If I have to have a complaint then it would be that Sony can afford to sell them at the current price and still stay in business and make a hefty profit then why should it not be this price on release I put it in a lower category of ripping people off sry Sony your products are gr8 but should be made more affordable to all.

everything was explain carefully and correct to the (T).all trans action was easily handle.payment was handle well with no problems.everything just went well 100%.

The use of a PSP console is well known.Our favorite games on the move.Especially when traveling a lot is the ideal way of having fun and not being bored at all.
Games is a well known aspect of the console but with the help of a 4GB memory card
the PSP can stand between the best mp3/mp4 players around.
The battery seems to last long enough for at least 3 hours of continuous playing and with car charger nothing can stop you.
The only thing that keeps bugging me is the screen.It is very easy to be scrached and reflects everything so during the day you have to find a shade...
The only think that must be considered is that some countries have custom taxes and you have to pay some extra $ in order to hold a PSP in your hands.

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.

I bought this intending it for media and game use. It is a great little thing! I would highly reccomend this to anyone out there looking for a portable game system while still having the power to surf the web and have computer-like doings. You can view pix, play videos, and play music! It's a neat little package. The money is worth it. I bought mines used and it was still like new! It worked awesome and is still awesome till this day. So go out and get one! No doubt. =]

For the past 10 years Sony has been the leader in everything "gaming" and in 2005 they launched the Sony PSP. This little gaming device is amazing the screen is crystal clear, you have a gaming console which can play games, umd movies, mp3 music and jpeg photos as well as being able to surf the internet

The minor flaws with the PSP are that the battery can only last around 5 hours from a full charge. This is not much of a problem as you can simply plug the console in a power source and get straight back into the game. The device is very easy to use. If buying for a child I'd highly reccomend watching them when using the device because it can do many things not appropriate for all ages.

The great thing about the PSP is the ability to play "homebrew" games and emulators, this basically means you can play gameboy games, megadrive games, snes games, neo geo games, etc on the PSP.

If you are a new buyer of the sony PSP id advise you not to buy any UMD movies they are expensive and you can only play them on your psp! Id advise you to learn how to convert on your pc to PSP and get movies from friends or the internet pay sites. The mp3 player on the PSP is a little dissapointing, it just has your basic play, pause, rewind, slow forward etc buttons. There is no flash graphic demos or anything fancy to look at, but dont worry you can download much better mp3 players for PSP on the internet.

The games are good, some are not so good as you would expect from a new console. Games to go for are: Metal gear Ac!d (If you like the series tactical game very fun), Lumines (like teris but better!) Ape academy (Girls will go for this but dont be put off its very fun and is full of mini games, great to play on the bus, train etc!) Pro Evo 5 (great footy game), Wipeout pure (great graphics good game for all) Ride Racers (same as last one), Burnout legends (brilliant for you speed and crash freak my faviourite psp game behind MGA!)

The psp fits nice in the hands of an adult, I'd mainly say its aimed at the 20 something male market so thumps up there for the feel of the console! The PSP seems to be quite heavy when you first pick one up, it must weight half a brick lol but this makes you want to hold it more securely. You dont want to drop your psp, the weight and shape would probably end up in a certain deth of the console if dropped! Use the handy wrist band that comes in the pack!

When you buy I reccomend you buy the following:

A larger memory stick 512mb at least! 1gig or 2gig if you can afford it.
PSP protective case, dont cost much but save's your psp from getting scratched!
A PSP umd game, the demo umd has no playable games, sadly.
Insurance is also a must since they become easily stolen.
Enjoy!

The PSP is PC friendly and has far surpassed all expectations! Unlike other gaming consoles the PSP links directly and easily to your PC for updates and office applications which makes work a breeze. For gaming the titles are extensive and just as varied as any larger non-portable units.UMD/Movies are incredible! With crystal clear graphics and tons of titles you cannot go wrong. This can even be hooked to your television for presentations or big screen viewing of the movies and head to head game play. Accessories like the in car theatre are exceptional and offer peaceful car rides with a large group. I cannot say enough good things about this system! The price point is spot on and the expansion options are endless. I bought used from a reputable seller and have been thrilled with the results.

I just give this a 3/5 for these reasons. First and most of all, the game lineup for the PSP is terrible, even since the release there has hardly been any GOOD games for this system, that is just crazy and sony should have had tons of good games for it but they dont. Also, the UMD are way to expensive to even buy, they even cost more then DVD's. Another thing is the Nintendo DS is out, Nintendo DS is better on many levels, it has better games and it is cheaper and more innovative. If you wanted to decide between DS and PSP, go with the Nintendo DS.

This is an amazing piece of hardware. It is good at doing a lot of things, and has a lot of nice features.

The psp is the best hand held video game out there but it is much more than that it can play umd movies save pic music and movies on it and surf the web and play others online with it its a good all in one player

The only dislike about the purchase is that the buttons dont work as well as I like. I have to really press them to get the results that I want. Otherwise the product is great and I have no further problems with it.

Alot of comments here, but they are dirrected wrong. These are comments about product, not about sellers.....I am a new seller and it looks like i am scamming peeps....look at each individuals personnel comments not about product.

I sent the payment 3 days after the auction was over and i never recieved anything. So i got my money back. i would never deal with them again.

The PSP was nice my son enjoyed it but I was dissapointed with the purchase. when I open the box, it was incomplete, the game wipe out and the USB cord, didn't come in the box.

Sony PSP's should not be available for sale on Ebay. I tried to purchase TWO of them and both got lost in the mail. they are hot items and are easily stolen. Now i am in the process of my second dispute on paypal trying to get my monies refunded. I finally went to toys r us and brought it for my daughter IN PERSON. Very VERy disappointing.

I mailed a cashier's check of $202.50 to theebay member for the Game that I wanted to buy for my son on his 12th birthday. Today is June 10, 2006, I have yet to receive receive the game. My complaint to ebay has not yielded any thing. I don't have either my money or Game yet.
