simple really

Great psp console, can do a lot of things with it, games,photo,music,videos,internet/wifi,skype,radio...
all which is great for traveling!
Great selections of games to choose from.
Console is also light, it weigh the same as my 30gb ipod.
It is a little pricey, considering to get functions like photo,music,videos..etc to work you will need a "Memory Stick Pro Duo"

Don't doubt this, if you feel it, just buy it.

I've never owned a handheld video game system before, the closest I've ever got is my son's ds lite. After a few of my students demo'ed their psp's in class, I started to get the itch. Then, when I saw my favorite game, God of War, was coming in a new bundle, I decided that for the only time in my life I would take GW Bush's advice, and spend my "rebate" on this system. I haven't had a lot of time to mess with it, although I did play the new GOW game last night, and it's very cool. Still getting used to the controls, but I have to hand it to sony, I think they have created a pretty universal and cool device that can do lots of things I want it to. My only complaint is no memory card, not even a little one. Yes, I know, I should have bought one when I bought the system, and I will be getting one soon, but it seems like they could have bundled a little 64 mb card or something so you could at least save an early game. Like one reviewer said, get rid of the superbad movie and include  more
