The PSP is a handy tool when it comes to traveling, because of the movie features. The PSP can read both UMD type movies and MP4 files from the Internet. No mods needed, just need the movie to be formatted to mp4.

As one of the best features I like that’s free for the PSP, would be the Internet radio. You would be surprised on what new music that I come across, when using this feature. All you need to do is find the app and download it. The PSP will have the app ready to be installed in the menu.

The Playstation network allows you to download free demos, purchase games and get the latest comics today. You also get to buy movies and rent them as well. When you go to purchase these features, you need to put money into your Playstation account. You can do that 2 ways. Pay with your debit/credit card or buy Playstation network cards at game stores and retail stores. You can only buy them with 20$ or 50$ cards.

Instead of buying the game twice to play with a friend, they simply share the game. The PSP is ready to play with more than one PSP, as long as the other PSPs are in range. The sharing allows the other people to play without the game, through a small download. The Nintendo DS has this feature, but has limitations compared to the PSP.

I would choose a PSP for an older child and avoid younger children, because of the mature games and how the PSP is designed. The PSP is huge compared to the Nintendo DS. They also can crack the PSP easy and ruin the joy stick. However, since the PSP has Internet and other features that are beyond the child’s mind, to allow them to choose the DS over the PSP. Do you own a PSP and enjoy the features?
