You can throw anything to the Sony Playstation Portable and chances are its going to play. But what are Sony Playstation Portable features? Is it worth its price? These are some of the main features available on the Sony playstation Portable

Gaming is what Sony Playstation Portable is all about. The large screen measuring 4.3” inch wide screen give ample view of the games you play with crisp 16.77 millioin colors. In other word, the screen of your Playstation Portable is as big as the whole iPod! For a handheld gaming console, the PSP crisp display is a sight to behold, no pun intended.

If you have been following the progress of the PSP, you must have heard about PSP homebrew. The first time I heard of PSP Homebrew I thought it was some illegal home made concoction. Well, you are not far off. The PSP homebrew is an independent software made to run on the PSP. It allows PSP to emulate other gaming console. Even though this is not a standard feature for the PSP, it definitely gave the PSP a huge boost in its sale. Imagine being able to replay your old sega megadrive games on your PSP or Super Mario Bros!

MP3 playability is another big plus for the PSP. Even though the feature on the PSP is a tad limited with regard to MP3 playing functionality, it makes up with the easy downloading of your mp3 files onto PSP via USB connection.

How about watching movies on your PSP while you are on the road or taking a trip by plane? You can either watch the movie via the small & portable UMD disc or by downloading onto your memory stick. There are utility available for converting your favorite DVD into PSP recognizable files. All you have to do is rip the DVD onto your computer, run the software (provided by Sony) and download onto your memory stick.

The thing about sony memory stick is that it is quite expensive, but it is well worth its price. You can store your favorite movies, music and games all in one memory stick. That is why I always recommends PSP user to get the memory stick with the biggest capacity. In the PSP case, bigger is always better.

In short this is what Sony PSP features are: ability to play games, music, movies, surf the internet and if you are really adventurous listen to radio. There are also huge resources on the internet that offer you huge database of downloadable files.

The internet is rife with the so called PSP download sites. Some are better than others but they do have one thing in common; they allow PSP user to enjoy latest games, movies, tv-shows, music at a very minimal cost. In fact all you have to fork out is the lifetime membership. After downloading a few games the cost of the membership basically pays itself off. The catch is in finding the best site.

If you ask me what is the best Sony PSP features? It must be its flexibility to be able to play huge selection of video files, music files and not to mention its gaming titles. It is a jack of all trades, but in the PSP case, it's master of all.
