Console PSP – so which is the best psp console?

November 4th, 2009

Hey everyone, Charles here again with some more information (which I hope is helpful) on the console psp.

A question that often comes up in a variety of different formats is “which playstation portable psp console is the best”. Now, being completely honest it very much depends what you are after and how you like the design of it.

I think the original sony psp game console still has a lot going for it – it still works very well and is still as powerful as a playstation 2. It has a good screen with good resolution and the controls are pretty easy – although I have never been mad about the thumb stick control. There is a wide variety of games available on disks which load pretty quickly. Whilst newer models are thinner – the design pretty much stays the same. You could perhaps argue that it is not the most portable games console in the world – I mean it will not fit in your pockets – but it will fit in a rucksack or bag very easily indeed. Overall this is a great and established console which will certainly do its job of entertaining you.

The PSP Go is the newest offering from the wizards at Sony.  This psp handheld console from a design point of view I think is awesome. It is more like the smart phones you see people using on their commute into work/the matrix.  The battery life is certainly much improved on all previous models – you can certainly play for around 5 hours if not more – should satisfy most hard-core gamers.  Well, I would hope after 5 hours plus of playing most people would want to do something different!

This portable psp console is most certainly lighter than its predecessors – and you would expect this really given the fact it is download only.  I would say it is more comfortable to hold than other models – but that is just me! One of the main issues at the moment is that as it is such a new console the online Playstation store does not have many games currently. I am sure this will change as the inevitable popularity of this console increases. Overall, this is a great console, but perhaps aimed slightly more at more hardcore gamers.
