Today there are plenty of portable games consoles a person can choose to play their favorite video games on. However in this particular article we will be taking a closer look at the PSP (Play Station Portable) and why it is certainly one of the most popular of all portable video games consoles.

One of the biggest problems that many people face when playing any kind of portable games console is how long the battery will last before it either needs replacing or recharging. However the PSP even though it comes with one of the most powerful operating systems to be found in a portable games console Sony have designed their batteries to live that little bit longer. The great thing about this particular console is that you can still play all your games even whilst the batteries are recharging.

However even if the battery does become completely drained it will take on average around 2 hours for it to be fully charged once more. Plus even whilst a fully drained battery is being recharged you can still play all your favorite games on the PSP.

A great feature to be found on the Sony PSP that is not to be found on any other kind of portable games console machine is that it allows you to play all kinds of music that you would be able to play on an MP3. However in order to be able to listen to your music properly it is best if you spend a little extra cash and invest in a good set of headphones rather than using the pair that came with the console. In fact more and more people who own a PSP rather than just playing games on theirs will also use it to play all their favorite songs on and won't need to invest further money into buying an MP3 player as well.

Just like the Nintendo DS the PSP now comes with a wireless feature which means that you have the capability of playing against others with a PSP up to a distance of 100 feet away from each other. Plus you are not restricted to just playing against one person using this feature in fact up to 8 people who have PSP's can play the same game on a wireless connection at any one time.

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.

Probably one of the best benefits to be had from owning a Sony PSP over some of the other types of portable games consoles now available is that it allows you to play MP4 formatted movies on it. But be warned that in order to do so you will need to have the right kind of software which will allow you to convert any movie you want into the right format in order for you to watch it on your PSP. Luckily there are websites around today which offer you the chance to download such software for free, but be carefully when doing so as some may actually download other files that could corrupt your PC and then your PSP.

As you can see where the PSP is concerned compared to many other types of video games console there are major advantages to be had from owning one. Plus as with any kind of product made by Sony you are assured that you will be provided with superb customer support and technical support at all times.
