So this is the 3rd iteration for the Playstation Portable.
I've personally experienced the first 2, selling my original PSP Phat for the PSP Slim (2000).
I've done the same again and sold my slim and bought the 3000.
The improvements over the PSP 2000, are a improved LCD screen which I must say is pretty improved, and a built in Microphone. (Finally I can make use of the skype feature as well as chat online in psp games.)
So is this a justifiable upgrade? For the improvements not really.
But if you're in the market for a PSP right now... The PSP 3000 is an ideal step into the PSP World.
Also following up the PSP 3000's launch is the Firmware 5.00 which brings Playstation Store (found on PS3) to the PSP.
But this firmware will be hitting all iterations of PSP.
So...Great purchase for me...Hope all of you here on Amazon do the same :)

Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters Game Included With this Limited Edition set, you'll get to play Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters right out of the box. A combination of a platformer and shooter, Size Matters delivers the over-the-top humor and fun that the series has come to be known for.
As is Ratchet and Clank's hallmark, the game features large cache of weapons, each of which can be upgraded to become larger and stronger. It's the sheer wackiness of the weapons that makes the game so much fun: among the many weapons at your disposal, you'll have the option of wielding a shotgun, a pistol that shoots killer bees, and a gun that shoots out robots.
The game makes full use of the PSP hardware and incorporates multiple lighting and particle effects without any slowdown in gameplay.
With this Limited Edition Entertainment Pack, you won't be lacking in entertainment options when you're on the run. In fact, you might actually start looking forward to your long commute.

The Xbox 360 charger only comes with 1 battery.If you play alot you're going to need an extra.There's nothing worse than being in the middle of a great game and your juice runs out.Get this extra battery!!
If you love Sci-Fi, you will like this product, if you aren't familiar with Sci-fi, you probably won't. There are a lot of questions I could ask about the stories, because I am unfamiliar with space terminology.
I had purchased the original Intercooler for my 360 last year. Initially, it worked like a charm, keeping the system cool to the touch. After awhile, my console started having issues. Thinking it may have been a defective unit, I swapped it out and got another one. In almost the same time frame, the second console started having problems. The only constant was the Intercooler. Save yourself some grief. Buy a USB powered laptop cooling pad. I use an Antec one that is frequently on sale for $10. It works like a charm and doesn't harm the 360.
The identical trackball (for that is what it is) is also marketed on Amazon as the One Finger Mouse. The average of about 20 reviews for it is 3.5 stars. One should read these reviews, as the first review here is not representative.
Of the various Wii Remote charging solutions I've encountered, this is easily one of the more elegant and effective.
PRos: keyboard is pretty good, optical mouse pretty good
I love having the Bible on my Treo.Thw Word is always with me because I take my Treo everywhere and I don't always have the space to tote a traditional Bible.
When I got the tarantula keyboard, one of the reasons was because the accessories that could be added to it. At the time I bought the keyboard I thought that the accessories had already been released but to my dismay they were not (bout 3 months ago) So when i found out the BattleLight accessory had been released I was quite excited. So on to the pros and cons...
The XBox 360 comes with a removeable faceplate, allowing you to snap on new faceplates to customize your XBox 360's look.
This cable will let you hook up your PSPgo to your TV for games, videos, or whatever else you have saved onto your system.Note that playing games on your TV requires an EDTV (at least 480p) set.Everything else can be done on an SDTV set, but if that's what you have, you should just buy the composite cable.
At the time I ordered this item, the documentation said that it worked on Windows 98 SE, which it did not.The only thing that saved this was when I hooked up another computer with XP.
By far, this movi--err, I mean game,has some of the best cut scenes I've ever seen in a game.Kojima, the creator/director of the Metal Gear Series goes beyond delivering a traditional action shoot-em-up and offers up a truly interactive cinematic experience, with some truly original gameplay to boot.
I picked up this game being a fan of the 'Devil May Cry series'. The action is very over the top, and overall plot/dialogue can't be taken too seriously. But the gameplay/cinematics will make up for the overall campy stroy arc. 
Chulip is a very interesting game. It's a completely different concept than anything else I've EVER played before, but in a good way. You play as a boy trying to win the girl of his dreams. Earning the trust of the locals means kissing them, and that's a lot of the game. 
This review will be mostly a comparison with the rock band 1 set, so I'll assume most people reading this are familiar with the game and/or the RB1 set. I'll also mention briefly the cymbal expansion and how it differs from the original play style. To start off, though, I'll list some of the features of this new set. 
This review covers two games (on one CD), Monopoly & Scrabble. Both are excellent implementations. The user interface is streamlined and effective. I don't know how it could be significantly better. Both games have the ability to play against the computer, against humans on the same Palm, or against humans on other Palms connected via Bluetooth or Infrared. I have only played against the computer, but did try the multiplayer single Palm mode and found it to be adequate in that it hides your chips (Scrabble).
The Playstation 2 has tons of RPGs.When a new one marches forth most RPGers can usually say "Yep" or "Nope."Rogue Galaxy is definitely a "Yep."It's easy to grasp, yet difficult to master.It's shorthanded in some key areas which keep it from being perfect, but it's still one of the best RPGs to come around in a while.
This Wii Remote glove works well as a glove -- it improves the grip on the remote -- but only get it if your remote has rechargeable batteries of the type such that you put the whole remote into a charging cradle. That's because it's nearly impossible to replace AA batteries with this thing on, and it's a pain to take off and put back on.It has a hole in the back that works with the kind of recharging cradle where the remote leans against the electrodes.It doesn't have a hole to support the kind of charger where you plug a USB cable in the back.
I bought this for my nephew. He rented this game and liked it because it was easier for him to play. some of the other hunting games have maps you have to follow and track animals. This is a more simplified it just goes to the action.
My only complaint. I can't stop playing with it. I run my batteries down. It's too much fun.
This great PS2 game combines great music with finger-tapping fun. It might seem easy at first, but soon you're caught up in the musical action!
I recommend the classic controller in this pack, which has a nice feel to it and has worked reliably for me, but the nunchuck is garbage. The design is such that the Z button will start sticking after a while and require you to take it apart and clean it to get it working smoothly again, and at least in my case the control stick became wonky after about 1 month, when it started registering as being pressed in a direction when it wasn't being touched. So, if they ever sell the classic controller alternative separately I'd recommend that, but this combo pack is a bust. Then again, at it's current price on Amazon, maybe it's not such a bad deal as long as you just consider it a good price for a good classic controller alternative.
Darkwatch is a mature gaming title set in the old west. You're an outlaw set on robbing a train - but suddenly you're turning into a vampire and joining up with a group of monster slayers.
OK, this seemed like such a great addition to my Palm. I'm in a new city I don't know very well, and I travel all over, all of the time. First of all, this cost $40 when I bought it, which is way too much. The interface is really bad. It loads slowly, the maps are hard to read. You have to buy an extra SD card to use the maps that you download from their site (and their site really isn't that intuitive). The extra card cost me another $30. So I blew $70 to make this work, and it just doesn't! The maps end at the city limits, so if I have to head just a little into the suburbs, I'm out of luck. But HERE'S the kicker. The maps are wrong! They are routinely off by about 3-4 blocks, and not in one consistent direction! My apartment is about 4 blocks off to the East. My friend's house is 3 blocks off to the South. If I want to use this to get directions... VERY SLOWLY LOADED directions, I am not even sure I'm going to end up in the correct location, and I see that as a BIG problem! Don't waste your money. You're better off searching at home with Streets and Trips or Mapquest and printing these directions out the old fashioned way!
I love my Nyko black remote and jacket.It is more stylish and cooler than Nintendo's humdrum white remotes.It says that it is motion plus compatible.Do not be fooled into thinking that this remote has motion plus technology built into it.In truth, it needs to be interfaced with motion plus to function with compatible games.
This is a fun driving game.The jist is Crazy Taxi in Springfield.There are 12 cars to unlock & 5 maps to unlock.I've had this game a week and its very very fun.The load time mentioned in previous reviews is true however you can speed up load speeds by changing the drive speeds.In options without any game inserted you can change the cd read speed.As for game play it is very addictive.You can practice on Sunday Drive to hone your skills.Then Rage on the Road Rage mode to earn money and to unlock vehicles and maps.Almost everywhere mentioned in The Simpson's World of Springfield is present.You can go to Moe's you can drive through the Center of the School.Besides that there are quite a few shortcuts to find.The Canyonaro piloted by Marge is one heavy duty vehicle.Some of th cars to unlock is Apu's - Sports Car,Rev. Lovejoy's - Book Burning Mobile,Otto's - School Bus, Chief Wiggum's - Patrol Car, Barney's - Snow Plow (one mission you have to run over 12 City Mascots with the plow),Scientists - Hover car, Krusty's - Klown Car,Willey's - Tractor, and Flander's - Station Wagon to name a few.Pure driving satire is this games charm.Hours of mayhem on the streets of Springfield.Watch out for the Buses and Smithers driving Mr. Burns around town.One of my favorites so far for the PS2.
I thought it was great. It came with a solid white faceplate, the clear cover that attaches to the faceplate, and 32 team inserts which you put in between the faceplate and cover. The inserts are made of sturdy paper but they still can rip if your not careful. The cost is pretty good, it looks great, and it is very easy to put together.
Forza Motorsport is Microsoft'sgrand attempt at breaking the strangle hold that Grand Turismo has had on the racing simulation.The attempt is certainly a very impressive one and quite welcome as well.First of all we start with vehicle selection of over 200 cars from Ford, Nissan, Porsche, Mecedes and more that will be available through content download off X-Box Live.With this many cars to choose from, it makes for great replay capability.The game features several different modes of play including Arcade, career and of course multi-player online, also greatly adding to the replay value.
This is going to sound odd but it actually makes perfect sense that I rated fun at 5 stars and overall at 3. Castle Shikigami 2 is the sequel to Mobile Light Force 2 (don't ask how that works, no one knows) and is essentiall a vertical scrolling shooter. You can play as one of 8 differenct characters each with different special abilities and "stories". You have three different ways to attack, there is the traditional shot the varies among characters as to what exactly it looks like and power ratings. There are also bombs that clear the screen and make you temporarally invincible. Then there are the special abilities. This is the big difference that should be taken into account when selecting your character. There are two versions of these abilities for each character but you must decide between one. For instance one character will summon a demon to attack enemies while all you have to do is dodge, while another will create giant swords that you can spin around you freely in defense.
I'll agree with other reviewers that this game has not really changed since at least the 2005 edition. That being said, I still enjoy playing it. My favorite part is the in-depth coaching experience, particularly recruiting. I find it more enjoyable than the actual gameplay which is not very realistic. The game never flows very well and I find that I'm able to get far too many dunks on offense and way too many steals on defense. I probably should move up a difficulty level. Other than being able to steal the ball alot, the actual playing of defense is extremely difficult and it seems impossible to stay in front of your man, particularly in the post. Overall, its a fun game that could definitely be improved upon.
