Perfect PSP Bundle (our second)
We've been a PS3 household ever since the 60GB version came about so, with two pre-teens in the house, we were ripe for a PSP adoption. We actually bought the Ratchet & Clank Pack a few months ago because one of my kids was a fan of the game. Now, with 2 boys and one girl in the house, one PSP turns out not to be enough. We're on Hold for the Hannah Montana edition for our little girl but we had no choice but get the Rock Band edition for the one who just turned 'teen' last week.
The bundle costs a few more than the 'clean' PSP-3000 but, in our case, the convenience of getting it together with the game AND a memory card AND a downloaded movie justified the extra expense because the kid REALLY wanted both the PSP and the game and, if you add up all that you get with the bundle, you come out ahead this way.
The 'Pack' includes the following:
- The PSP 3000 itself in black
- 4GB memory card
- The game on a UMD disk
- A downloadable movie...
Finally, Sony got the PSP right.
I've owned every iteration on the PSP; the 1000, 2000, and now the 3000 model. I was always dissatisfied with the 1000, and 2000 models. The 3000 has fixed all of the issues I had with those models, and improved on them even more. The screen is much nicer in terms of both brightness and ghosting, the load times are faster, and it's lighter. I love it, and highly recommend.
Great game system
I bought this for my son's 13th birthday. He'd use it almost every waking moment if we let him.
This bundle was a good deal because it came with a 4GB memory stick (many of the other bundles in this price range came with only a 2GB memory stick), as well as a game and a voucher for a movie. We chose the PSP 3000 over the PSP Go because I don't like that the PSP Go limits you to downloaded games - I prefer the flexibility of being able to buy games and movies on disks when we choose.
I was particularly impressed by the graphics for a portable system. The sound is good considering the limitations of built-in speakers on a handheld. But most of the time my son uses headphones (we had to buy those separately) for true stereo sound. The headphones also mean he can have the sound on while he plays in the car without bothering everyone else.
The controls will be familiar to anyone who has ever played a Playstation console - he mastered the basic use of the...
