PSP Slim (Portable Sony Playstation)

I still remember about 5 years ago, the PSP was still quite new on the market. The price was so expensive at that time. Not that I can't afford it that time but it doesn't make any sense at all to spend that much of money just for a small toy. So, the other alternative for me at that time was to look for a generic 'look alike' PSP. While I was being outstationed in Kuching (Sarawak) for a week (5 years ago), I went for a window shopping in that town. I was so excited when I came across an electronic shop selling the generic 'look alike' PSP. I bought it straight away because it was a lot cheaper than a real PSP. Since I never play a real PSP before, I don't know what I should expect from that generic brand. Not sure whether it can play the PSP UMD disc. All the games were already preinstalled into its built in memory but all the games were not that great...that was 5 years ago and that generic PSP is no longer with me...I think I gave it away to one of my younger brother...

Now days, I owned 3 PSP consoles (they're not PSP Go) and all of them are the real PSP from Sony....There are all PSP slim with built in WiFi (I thought I could be able to browse the net using the WiFi but it always showing an error while trying to access the network...I even try to connect it with my own home wireless connection but never successful...don't know why but I don't bother too much about it)... I also have about 30 games and all of them comes in UMD disc...Mostly all the games are for my son - he has all the Ben 10 games series and a number of racing/action games.....For me, I like to play the FIFA soccer/football games..I started with FIFA 07 and I almost complete all the tournament in it...then I move on to FIFA 10. The graphic was so much better compared to FIFA 07 but I have to up my skill if I want to go further in the tournament....

At first, I have only 1 PSP console and at that time I was pretty addictive to the FIFA games...Every time when I lose a game, I will throw the PSP to the wall...hahaha....soon after that, my son start 'conquering' the PSP with his Ben 10 games...Only then, I bought another PSP during a sale...this second unit looks very stylish with its red/maroon color. It came with the Transformer game as a package. My first PSP was packaged with Resistance Retribution game...it was a good game but I came to stuck at one level which requires the 'Hero' to dive and navigate underwater...I kept end up at the 2 same location everytime I came out to the surface...finally I just gave up...My third PSP also came with a game...FIFA 2010 world cup....I always used the Malaysian team to beat another international team...sometime I won but most of the time, I lost..

I use the 2Gb memory stick Pro Duo on each of the PSP to save the level that had been completed for every games. As an experiment, I also saved some video files into the memory card and the PSP is able to play the MPEG 4 video file. If you have a different format of the video file which is not supported by the PSP, you can easily convert them to MPEG 4 format. There are quite a few of conversion software which is available on the internet. I actually love to watch the 'Simpson'. So what I did, I set my DVD recorder to record the 'Simpson' cartoon...Since the 'Simpson' was aired on HD channel, the picture quality was really good...However for me to play back this video on a PSP, I have to convert them first to MPEG-4 format (I did this just for an experiment and just for some selected episode)...Since the display is only 4.3"(not that big but good enough to comfortably watching a video), watching it back on the PSP, the video quality was absolutely great....

The PSP is not that expensive anymore...I bought all my PSP (the console and the games) while I was living in Sydney for 4 years...The first unit cost me AUD299...second unit cost me AUD259 and the third one cost me AUD159...So, if you can get the PSP under 160 dollar (brand new one), I guess it is a good deal...Click here to find out more about PSP Slim Console Deal......
