Customer Reviews of PSP Daxter Entertainment Pack - Ice Silver

Versatile and fun gaming system
I bought one of these recently, and I am impressed with it. I haven't owned the original PSP, so I can only comment on the new PSP 2000 (PSP Slim). <
> <
>These are some of what I think are the high points of the PSP 2000: <
>- Small, lightweight design (could easily fit in a pocket) <
>- The screen is crisp and bright <
>- There is a good selection of games for it <
>- It also plays videos and music <
>- It also has wireless networking for multi-player games, and also includes a web browser (pretty cool for a game system) <
>- It can output to a TV <
> <
>In addition to the UMDs that games & movies come on, the PSP can also load media from memory sticks (I have seen those available up to 4GB). Game data is also saved to memory stick. Videos, music, and it looks like even games can be loaded from memory sticks. Unfortunately, the memory stick is a proprietary Sony technology and are more expensive than other media such as SD cards, but it's still a nice feature. <
> <
>I like that there is a good variety of games available for the PSP. There are games that appeal to younger children as well as adults. A couple of my favorite games for the PSP so far are Mortal Kombat Unchained and Sega Genesis Collection (which includes 28 classic Genesis games for the PSP). The games seem to be less expensive in general than on other systems, too ($20-$40 vs. $40-$50+ for systems such as the PS3). <
> <
>I think it's interesting that there are movies available on UMD for the PSP. I can see that Sony wanted to create a versatile device, capable of playing movies as well as games, similar to the PS2 and PS3, but it seems to me that the UMD format isn't the best choice for movies. The PSP is the only device right now that can read UMDs, the movies have a lower visual quality, and the discs don't contain any extras. I already have a modest DVD collection, so I would only buy UMD movies if they were really cheap. However, it looks like UMD movies have already dropped in popularity quite a bit. <

>I bought a USB cable for my PSP, and connecting it to a PC works fairly well. After plugging it into a USB port, the PSP must be switched into USB mode, and then it shows up as another drive on the computer, allowing you to copy files over to the memory stick. This makes it fairly easy to transfer things to & from the PSP. <
> <
>I haven't had any experience using a TV with it yet, but I plan to buy a TV cable in the future. There are 2 TV cables that I have seen available: One that has 3 RCA plugs (video and stereo audio), which many TVs support, and a component cable that has 5 RCA plugs, which is supported by newer TVs. I read a review recently saying that the PSP won't display games with the 3-plug version; I was a little disheartened, since I think my TV only has the 3-plug input. But this might not be an issue for many people. <
> <
>In all, I think the PSP's versatility and game selection make it worth the money.

overall very nice
After having a DS for almost a year and playing it quite a bit I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to get the new updated PSP. The DS, nintendo that is, has put out dozens and dozens of titles in the last several months but if you follow the reviews on sites like gamestop and IGN it has been a disappointing run of mediocre games for the most part. maybe this is a blessing in disguise because at 25 or 30 bucks a game too many must have titles could drain alot of bucks. Anyway my reasoning in also getting the PSP is that then I could choose a game every month or 6 weeks or so from the list of both the DS and the PSP and like i said the way the DS has been lately that's even more relevant at the moment. <
>So I'm really loving the PSP. The graphics are obviously superior to the DS and if you choose the games you buy carefully, which is what matters more actually, the gameplay, you should be more than happy with the purchase. The DS is not known for it's graphics but it is known for the gameplay being better in many cases but lately all bets are off i'd say. With either system though you should be able to come up with several stellar titles if you pick wisely. I know reviews aren't everything but I do use them as a starting point in choosing games. Not so much the reviews here on amazon which are one of my favorite things about this site but the reviews on gamesites that i already mentioned. The problem with amazon reviews for the games is that although they can be of some help often times it's some kid saying how great the sponge bob squarepants game is or someone who just bought monster hunter freedom 2 and thinks it's the best thing ever and sometimes it may be but the opinions are often based on first hand impressions so the game sites are better i think. I've gotten games so far like Burnout legends, Wipeout Pure, Lumines2, Virtua Tennis World Tour and an awesome game that is an import music game called DJ Max portable 2. (check it out on the play asia site for reader reviews) <
>The daxter game that came with the silver PSP is also great but i haven't had a chance to play it much yet but from what i have it too is a great game. <
>I guess there's just one thing about the PSP i got that is bugging me. Alot of people say about it being cheaply made and overall I didn't think that; the build quality seems fine but i guess comparing to the older model the plastic is thinner so that's part of it. I do have a minor issue in the workmanship with mine however. I haven't returned it yet because i'm trying to decide if it's too minor to do so but I think i will return it because it is a flaw and keeps irritating me when i hold the PSP and bump into the little glitch i'm talking about. What it is is on the door in the back of the PSP where the UMD goes in, the UMD door. Right on the corner where the letters UMD are etched the door is slightly raised so it's out of plane with the rest of the back. This is where my left thumb bumps into the door being slightly raised from the level of the rest of the back. it's very slight to be sure maybethe thickness of a business card or 2 but like I said my thumb bumps into it especially on some games more than others. If I hold the psp and push on the door sure enough there is also play where it just isn't seating fully on that corner. i wonder if anyone else has this almost unnoticeable glitch? I'm not trying to be a perfectionist because if it wasn't on what is essentially a moving part I'd probably let it slide but it's the door for the UMDs and my thumb bumps against the slightly sticking up part.--- I'd also recommend getting a Hori screen protector to keep the screen from getting scratched and then you can wipe it clean without having to worry about that. Some other brands of screen protectors can be terrible and get alot of scratches so get the Hori ones. Overall the new PSP is really awesome; give it a look for the door glitch i found though.

PSP
I got the psp daxter entertaiment pack yesterday. This one does seem to be a little bit more cheaply made than the old one but I think it feels good. I'd say the battery has improved and the d pad is way better. The only complaint I have is that the battery cover is pretty loose. It slides around when i run my thumb lightly over it. Little things like this drive me absolutely crazy. I've seen other people who have had this same issue. Ugh. Oh well. Its a great system anyway. Hopefully my battery cover will hold up and not start falling off.
