Video Game Reviews of PSP 2000 Console - Piano Black
Customer Review: Meets Our Needs
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids have Playstation so when they wanted a portable, I looked at the PSP. With the wireless feature you can play multi-player anywhere you have WiFi (big deal for teens on family road trips).
The screens are good and give you clear graphics. There's 135 games which I think it's more then enough. My kids tend to have a few favorites that they play over and over anyway.
Customer Review: Great buy!
Summary: 4 Stars
First, Amazon was the only place I could find the PSP 2000 - everyone else only carries the 3000 version (which I'm told has issues). So thanks Amazon for having what I needed. It arrived when promised and my husband doesn't have to borrow our sons' anymore!Customer Review: Portable gaming device that needs more games
Summary: 4 Stars
Sony has delivered a great product. However, the game developers need to get busy. There are very few must have titles even though the promises and rumors continue to claim each year will be THE year. In any event, the hardware is well thought out and the software continues to be improved - although the fun and exciting features are typically scattered. The screen is large and bright and makes movies a joy to watch while traveling or sitting on public transit. The built-in wireless adapter and the software makes network connectivity simple. And the recent addition of access to the Playstation Store is a wonderful treat. The battery life has never been a problem for my usage. It would be great if the PSP had built-in storage space, but memory sticks are cheap enough these days to ignore such an oversight.Customer Review: MUST READ IF CONSIDERING TO BUY PSP
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay it doesn't matter whether you're buying the PSP 1000/2000/3000 here's what matters. The PSP is better than all the other hand held systems period. But if it's not imperative you buy a hand held these facts should help you decide. Okay the PSP is great for sports games (although they will cut modes etc. out on the PSP version versus a Xbox or PS3) the hand to hand combat games are okay depending on the series, but the shooting games are horrid. Let me repeat that "horrid". Let me explain you would think that Sony at least by the 2000 model would have pout in a right analog stick, there's plenty of room under the button pad, but no there is no such thing to be found. so instead of having a trusty right analog stick you're stuck using the button pad (square, triangle, circle, and X) which eliminates many options in the game and is plain ridiculous when trying to aim at an opponent. So in all if you want a hand held look no further, but if you're just looking for a game system go for a stationary console (not the Wii, see my review on the Wii for full details). Customer Review: My 7 year old far prefers his DS
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this game for my 7 year old 12 months ago. It has a lot of features that he can grow into. Unfortunately, after less than 5 hours of use it stopped working. It was less than a month old. I phoned sony customer "service" several times. They were very unhelpful, in fact quite rude on the phone. Their attitude was that it was no big deal and they would send me information on how to return it. They never did. So I went to the website and filled out a request to return the psp. An email from Sony said that they would be sending me information on how to return the psp. I waited for 3 weeks,- at a time when I really needed this game for my son, it was inoperable. What happened to the day when if you bought something from a retailer and it broke almost immediatly, you just took it back and got a new one? To say that dealing with Sony has been frustrating is a wild understatement. I had been considering buying my son a new PS3 but I now know I will be geting him the Wii instead. This may be a great game. My brief experience with it was very positive. However. trying to replace a defective psp has been a truly awful experience and I'm sure Sony will lose market share once others reveal similar experiences.
Update: The control pad on the left of the psp malfunctions intermittently but Sony customer service is so awful and my son prefers to play with his DS, that this game system mostly sits in a drawer. Not recommended for younger kids and I think it has quality control issues.
