CNET Editors' review - Sony PSP

Excellent

8.1

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 8.1 out of 10
Reviewed by David Carnoy
Review date: 3/23/05
Release date: 3/24/05

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.
