Rating: 10

Time with product: 2 Weeks

Strengths: Cheap price. Everyone says it is expensive but compare to what it can do, 199 worth it.Nice Design. Especially the buttons.God of War psp doesnt have clear buttons.

Weaknesses: Short battery life.Too much scratches. Should have put screen protector.

Summary: Compare to NDS, I think psp is much better game console. You can play music, video and even connect to internet which is slow but not a bad deal.White psp is probably the best one out there in America.Red psp hurts your eyes, black psp can get really dirty.Maybe silver is another good one.but in conlcusion, this is really good deal and i highly recommend it.

Strengths: quicker load times, lighter, capability to play on your TV

Weaknesses: battery life, Rogue Squadron pack in

Summary: The main attraction of the pack is, of course, the 2nd gen PSP. It?s lighter and thinner than the original PSP. After playing around for almost a year now, I slightly prefer the ?slim? over the original (I still have both). I really like the option of being able to play on my TV using the component cables. My only issues with the slim are that it?s sometimes harder to grip (slimmer and slicker plastic surfaces) and that the battery life is about the same as the original (should have been higher). If you want higher life, you can use the original PSP battery pack but it sticks out of the back making the PSP as fat (on one side) as the original. Plus you?d have to obtain a new cover to have the battery covered. Re: Renegade Squadron, I?m not so hot on it. The space battles look great but the ships are difficult to pilot. The ground battles are pretty good and the upgrades on character options keep the gameplay fresh. It?s an ok title.

Strengths: WiFi and included browser,Bright and large screen,Plays mp3s and WMAs,Powerful gaming processor.Different and Stylish Color,Darth Vader Silkscreen a must have for Star Wars Fans.

Weaknesses: No Memory Stick Included,Surface Easily Scratches,No Avi Video Support,Joystick gets dirty after a couple uses.

Summary: The limited edition Star Wars Entertainment Pack is a great buy for Star Wars Fans and anyone who wants a great looking PSP. The entertainment Pack Includes:Ceramic White PSP,Battery,AC Adapter,Star Wars Battlefront Renegade Squadron PSP Game. The PSP is very nice, the new slim form factor is light and still manages to be comfortable. The media buttons on the bottom of the screen are very useful and give the system the feeling of a portable media player. The system is also wireless enabled so you can use it to surf the web if you have a hotspot nearby. The major disadvantages about the entertainment pack is the lack of a memory stick which you will need to get the most out of the system. The system's back scratches easily so I recommend buying a case. Also depending on how much you travel with it a screen protector is also recommended.The Star Wars Battlefront Game is similar to other installments of the Series. If you haven't played any of the previous game before, it is a First Person Combat Game. You are a soldier and take part in classic and new ground and space Star Wars battles. It is a very fun game and it also has internet and wireless multiplayer. In the end this is a great purchase if you really want the Darth Vader image on the back and if you really prefer the white color. If not there are other bundles that provide more for the same price.

Strengths: Lighter, cheaper

Weaknesses: control button

Summary: I have a bad UMD so I sold my original black PSP and bought this one with white color. I feel it is lighter. UMD is manually open but the old one need to push a slide. I have played the same game - NFS. The left control button is too sensitve that trigger "up" while I press "left". The joystick work pretty good though.

Strengths: Good screen.

Weaknesses: still overprice.

Summary: The graphic is much better than NDS. Very good quality of screen, knobs. Included game is a good one, but price is a killer. No extra flash card as Dexter package, so you definetely will need one of those Pro memory sticks if you are going to try web or music, etc.Did not try web connection yet.I wish SONY will made different colors ( not just white )
