All work and no play makes you a dull boy this is an old phrase but we animators hardly gets a chance to play the games due to deadlines or learning about new stuff in the spare time. Other reasons can be rendering going on the systems or laziness in plugging the console to the TV, so here comes the handheld game console. A handheld game console is a lightweight, portable device with a built-in screen, games controls and speakers. Handheld game consoles are run on machines of small size allowing people to carry them and play them at any time or place.
In this review we will cover the Sony PSP 3000 (or say 3004 in some countries). Sony launched the PlayStation Portable in 2005. Nearly four years after its original release, the PSP is still going strong. This review is specifically written for the new users who like to own this machine and we will try not to compare with the older versions. According to Sony, this new model has some features like brighter, increased contrast and wider color gamut screen, built in Skype client, microphone and some others.
Sony PSP 3000 is 2.81 inches high by 6.3 inches wide by 0.63 inches deep and its weight is a little lighter at just a little over 7 ounces or 200gms. PSP 3000 gives a good grip in the hands. Sony decided to release the PSP 3000 in two different colors. The classic black piano finish as well as a brushed metal matte finish (limited to some countries). In our case, we have the Black Piano finish model for review.
The screen size is 420 x 272 and the screen color gamut, contrast ratio is incredible. But the screen is a magnet for the fingerprints and you can notice jagged edges, scanlines in high motion videos or games. The PSP-3000 screen uses anti-reflective technology that promises to reduce glare and improve screen visibility under well-lit conditions, such as playing outside on a sunny day, but actually you find it very difficult to play games outside, thanks to the glossy screen. A decent screen protector can help you in this case but it’s still not easy to play outside. I strongly suggest spending the bucks to purchase a protective case.
In PSP 3000 is the built-in microphone, located just below the screen. It can be used for online communication, be it within a game or for the PSP's built-in Skype application. Since the introduction of Skype to PSP users, the software has had a lot of success with games that utilize its potential and also for general phone use. The Sound of the microphone and speakers is crisp and clear. SHIPPING CHARGES : R175 +3 % INSURANCE SPEED SERVICES AND R85 + 3 % INSURANCE ORDINARY POSTAGE . STILL IN GOOD CONDITION .
