Although you have the Nintendo DS and the Gameboy in this article we will be taking a look at just what the Sony PSP can offer you, and which seems to be one of the more popular of the portable games consoles now available.

The biggest problem that is faced by many people when using portable games consoles is how long the batteries are likely to last. Well even though the PSP has the most powerful system in portable gaming consoles today Sony has managed to over come this particular problem. They have designed this particular one so that even why you are playing the batteries contained within the unit can be charged.

A major benefit to be gained from owning a PSP compared to say the Nintendo DS is that even if the batteries become completely drained once placed on charge the user can start playing games again. Also on average it takes around 2 hours for the batteries in the Sony PSP to be fully charged once more and allows you to play it wherever you want.

Another great feature of the PSP is that it allows you MP3 music on it. Although it comes with a good set of headphones when listening to music on your PSP you may prefer to get a good set of audio ones to use with it instead. A lot people who already have PSP’s now not only use theirs to play all their favorite video games on but listen to their favorite music tracks as well.

Just like the Nintendo DS the PSP now comes with a wireless feature which means that you have the capability of playing against others with a PSP up to a distance of 100 feet away from each other. Plus you are not restricted to just playing against one person using this feature in fact up to 8 people who have PSP’s can play the same game on a wireless connection at any one time.

A major problem faced by many people when using any kind of portable video game player is the amount of time it takes for theirs to either boot up or loads the game. However Sony has thought of everything when it comes to their PSP and it now comes with a sleep mode feature. This means that you are able to put your PSP in to sleep mode at the flick of a button and as soon as you are ready to resume playing your game just flicking the same switch will get you to the point where you left it.

Probably one of the best benefits to be had from owning a Sony PSP over some of the other types of portable games consoles now available is that it allows you to play MP4 formatted movies on it. But be warned that in order to do so you will need to have the right kind of software which will allow you to convert any movie you want into the right format in order for you to watch it on your PSP.
