PSP 3000

The PSP console was the first to make use of the Universal Media Disc that Sony developed. Universal Media Discs can hold up to 1.8GB of data, allowing it to be a device for playing both video games and other video and audio media. This ultra small disc is ideal for road trips or to slip into your backpack for lunchtime gaming.

The PSP Network provides online game play for PSP users, offering unique IDs, matchmaking according to skill level, region, language and custom settings for play between friends. PSP also offers Remote Play options, enabling users to access many PS3 features from a remote location. Compatible content includes photos and slideshows, music files and stored video files, among others. However, while most PS3 features are accessible by remote on the PSP, several media, including DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, PS2 and PS3 games are not supported.

The PSP 3000 game console utilizes 802.11b, IrDA and USB for internet connectivity. The PSP console is equipped with an embedded browser that allows for multi-tab web browsing and online game play. Content downloads are also available through both the PSP Network and other third parties.
The PSP offers full compatibility with the PS3 system, functioning as both an additional controller and a remote-access console. The PSP can retrieve audio, video and some game content remotely from the PS3 console, greatly expanding its multimedia uses. However, some video and game content, such as DVD, Blu-ray, PS2 and PS3 games cannot be played or viewed remotely.
The PSP 3000 has consistently placed a strong emphasis on video and graphic output, multimedia, and advanced game play and connectivity, remaining several steps ahead of the competition in these areas. The PSP 3000 offers a well-balanced gaming platform that works hand in hand with your PS3 and even includes additional games via download from the PSP network. The online connectivity and excellent browsing capabilities make this handheld game console one of the more versatile systems on the market.
