The biggest problem that is faced by many people when using portable games consoles is how long the batteries are likely to last. Well even though the PSP has the most powerful system in portable gaming consoles today Sony has managed to over come this particular problem. They have designed this particular one so that even why you are playing the batteries contained within the unit can be charged.

Also on average it takes around 2 hours for the batteries in the Sony PSP to be fully charged once more and allows you to play it wherever you want.

Certainly one of the biggest features to be found on the Sony PSP over other portable games consoles is that you can actually play music that you would be able to play on an MP3 player. However if you want to get the best sound quality out of it when listening to any music on your PSP it is better to purchase a good quality set of headphones to replace those that come with your console. Today many people now not only use their PSP to play games on when traveling or at home but they also use it to listen to all their favorite music as well.

As with the Nintendo DS the Sony PSP has a wireless facility. This then means that if you want you and your friend or friends can be matched up against each other without having to be sat right next to each other. Plus another major advantage to the PSP and its wireless feature is that up to 8 players at anyone time can be connected to each other and playing the same game.

One of the biggest problems to be faced by many gamers who use portable consoles is that amount of time it takes for theirs to either boot up or upload the game that they want to play. However this is where the Sony PSP differs from other games consoles including the Nintendo DS is that it comes with a "sleep mode" facility. As soon as you hit the button which turns on this feature the PSP will stop and will only recommence booting up or uploading the game from the point when it was stopped when the button has been pressed again.

As long as you have the right memory stick then you are quite capable of playing MP4 formatted movies on your PSP. But in order to do this you need some software which enables you to convert the movies over to the right format. But although you can get some for free it is better if you purchase your converter to ensure that you don't down load unwanted files etc.
