Customer Review: Great little piece of kit
Sony’s PSP has been given a slight revamp and is now suposedly 33% lighter and 19% thinner than the old model. Does this mean much? Not to me because I’m new to the console anyway. So let’s just start this review by saying I can’t compare the Slim & Lite to the old PSP but what I can do is talk about this version on it’s own merits. Let’s get the most important question out the way first - is it worth getting? Oh yes, without a doubt it is! There is a lot of debate over which is better, PSP or Nintendo DS - personally DS holds no interest to me whatsoever. DS, like Nintendo’s full-size console (Wii), is for casual gamers - it has innovative controls (like Wii) with it’s stylus system but the games generally aren’t what’s classed as “hardcore” games. DS revolves around quick and simple pick-up-and-play-games like Nintedogs, Harvest Moon and Brain Training - I find these games tedious. Personally, I want “proper” games - racing, shooting, fighting etc - the games I have grown up with as a committed gamer. You won’t find many of them with DS but you do with PSP. Admittedly PSP started out as nothing more than a portable that received far too many stripped-down PS2 conversions but things have moved on slightly since then. The quality of games on PSP is impressive and improving all the time - the graphics, sound and kind of presentation this portable is capable of is nothing short of amazing. When I first loaded up Killzone Liberation for example, I was greeted with an incredibly smooth, detailed high resolution FVM sequence - you wouldn’t find that kind of cinematic presentation anywhere on DS. A quick note on a much-maligned area of PSP - the analog nub. Some people find it very awkward or uncomfortable to use - it’s not actually so bad. At first it can seem a bit innacurate but after a few minutes you should become accustomed to it. It actually works great for racing games like Test Drive Unlimited (although it’s a bit sensitive on Burnout Dominator so I tend to stck to the D-pad for that game) but I have yet to try it on a first person shooter (the kind of games it is most criticised for). So what’s good about PSP? + the screen is incredible - large, smooth and bright + the PSP is easily most powerful portable on market + the PSP is incredibly versitile - games, movies, pictures, music, internet…. you name it! + wi-fi connection meaning online gaming and internet browsing + loading times of games on Slim & Lite is good; the games I own generally don’t take any longer than CD/DVD games on larger formats (XBox, PS2, 360 etc) + battery life isn’t too bad considering the kind of games it can play (I imagine they would be quite demanding on the battery) + good selection of games for the console - it is getting all the big franchises, not to mention one or two exclusives of its own Anything not so good about PSP? - it can get a bit uncomfortable when played on for extended periods - aching thumbs can be an issue (or maybe it’s just me) - when loading UMDs the PSP makes an annoying whirring noise (it’s just a bit noisy for my liking) - the D-pad can creak sometimes (not sure if it’s just my PSP or not) - it soon gets caked in millions of fingerprints due to its shiny surface Overall, I think this is a marvellous piece of technology. PSP is without a doubt the most advanced portable ever released and for any serious gamer I would recommend this very highly. Only thing I will say is that if you’re thinking of buying a PSP, remember you need a memory card in order to save anything - I would opt for at least 2GB memory stick, preferably a 4GB one. I’m afraid this means more expense (a fifth negative on the console if you like). But overall it’s worth the price I think.
Customer Review: If you have the big psp - avoid this!
I already own the large psp and thought I would down size to the psp lite, What a mistake! Yes its smaller (not by much) yes its thinner (by quite a bit) but it feels tacky, the UMD slot that used to pop out your umd in a slick motion of mechanics is now a flimsy pull down cover that looks and feels tacky. I thought it would have new themes and maybe some built in pictures/games - No!! (I mean if you upgraded to a new sony ericsson phone you’ll expect new wallpapers and pictures?). All you get is some new coloured backgrounds and the ability to watch your stuff on a tv. You don’t get the headphone adaptor (with volume control) or even a soft case. Battery life is still no better and the volume seems to be less that the old model. If you don’t have the old model and your new to handheld gaming - get a DS, not this. If you already have the old model - keep it and just accept its big size. I do like the psp, its brilliant for watching movies,playing music or viewing pictures-the low score is for the new lite version compared to the old large version. Steer clear unless you have money to burn.

Customer Review: Does exactly what it says
I also had the problem where the last part of the serial number was missing but I just went on to the GSP website and they responded within half an hour so I don’t think its fair to give a poor rating because of this. Also you can’t convert copy protected DVDs but I wouldn’t have expected to. Its very easy to use and install, no complaints so far.
Customer Review: One word - rubbish
Well,it may convert your own movie files , and it does.It may also put them on your psp or ipod , and it does.But can i ask this - does it convert dvds ??Oh no , it doesn’t ,yet it claims this on the front and back ,by sayng “handles ALL formats ” and “allows you to decode dvds” and “select a dvd …convert the files” But wait , when it arrives through the door and you open it,right at the bottom of the box in the smallest,tiniest,most minute writing”this prohibits copying content of a cd/dvd”.Damn it , i ‘ve just wasted nearly ?20. I’m sorry amazon that i have to say this , but i have lost trust in you.When i was looking for a dvd to psp converter on your website,and i typed in “dvd converter”, the FIRST thing that came up was this product.have you not realised that it does NOT convert dvds ???? Along side the above , the whole process was very slow and is not that easy to work. To conclude, DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU WANT TO CONVERT DVD !!!!
HDMI Cable (PS3) Customer Review: Works for me
I have a Samsung LE32R41BD TV and this HDMI cable absolutely works fine at 720p and 1080i (I don’t have a 1080p tv).
I guess you could try changing the output type in the settings? But works fine for - Amazon wouldn’t be able to sell (let alone bundle) an HDMI cable that doesn’t support HD.
Customer Review: 4 Gamers HDMI Cable
This cable does not support 760p or 1080i with my LE32R87BDX Samsung LCD TV. It only supports 576p at first I thought my TV was not HD but on buying a Sony 1.3A HDMI CABLE I am now operating at 1080i and the PS3 Games are unreal!!!
If you have a Samsung LCD I would advise you not to buy this cable!!!
