New PlayStation Portable Makes Friends With a TV Set

Sony has recently released a revised version of its popular PlayStation Portable (PSP) gaming system. The portable gaming console is 33 percent lighter and 19 percent slimmer. However, the 4.3-inch LCD screen has retained its size. Well, the screen on PSP is something that determines why PSP is such a cool device and I'm confident Sony would never dare to make the screen size smaller even if they wanted to do so. The UMD drive has been upgraded as well. The driver is faster, which allows faster load times. As an additional improvement, it eats up less battery and thus you have more battery time for playing.

However, the most interesting feature of the new PSP is the TV output function. Overall, the TV output works normally, however there is a room for improvement.

While an upper bound of the gadget's target audience is 25, it is still one of my favorite gadgets in my 28th year. Since I got PSP I have almost never played on my computer. Most of the time when I'm playing computer games, I'm playing on PSP.

From games that I have tried are Dead to Rights: Reckoning, Formula One 2006, Ridge Racer 2, Need For Speed: Carbon, Medal of Honor: Heroes and Prince of Persia: Revelations. Currently I'm playing Killzone: Liberation, which is a really fantastic game.
