Appearance

To date, the device is available in a wide variety of colours. The set-top box can confuse an inexperienced user with an abundance of various buttons and connectors. In fact, everything is not so scary - it is very easy to deal with all this diversity. The ergonomics of the device are top notch. It lies well in the hands and there are no problems during the gameplay. Of particular note is the presence of an analogue joystick on the console, which is very unusual for a portable device.

Accessories

It should be remembered that the PSP is not just a game console, but, in fact, a real pocket computer. And therefore, her accessories are appropriate. For example, if necessary, you can purchase add-ons such as a webcam or a GPS module. On the market you can find external keyboards, mice, special docking stations that turn the PSP into a portable music centre. The prefix itself can be connected not only to a computer, but also to its "big sister" - Sony PlayStation 3.

Console Features

The PSP can be used for more than just gaming. It can also serve as a compact media player (sound quality is excellent), an organizer, a GPS navigator (with the purchase of an additional GPS module) and a photo album. A huge amount of the most diverse software has been written for the console, which allows you to significantly expand its capabilities. It is also possible to update the firmware.

The set-top box is capable of working with UMD discs with a capacity of 1.8 GB. It should be remembered that films recorded in the USA on the European version of the set-top box will not work (division by zone, as in conventional DVD players). This does not apply to game discs.

Accumulator battery

PSP battery life depends largely on the game you are playing and can vary from 3 to 5 hours. You have less than 5 hours when watching movies. Well, if you use the prefix only to listen to music, then the operating time increases to 7-8 hours. If the set-top box is used very actively, then it makes sense to immediately buy an additional battery.

Graphic arts

Despite its compact size, PSP provides a high level of graphics. The prefix is equipped with a fairly large widescreen screen with an aspect ratio of 16:9. When working from the adapter, the brightness level is 200 cd / m2, when working from the battery - 180 cd / m2. Unfortunately, the screen dims a lot in the sun.
