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.

As for the time it takes for the batteries to charge on average it will take around 2 hours before the batteries of the PSP have become fully charged once more. But another advantage to being able to play with this console whilst the batteries are being charged is that even when the batteries have been completely drained of power as soon as you plug it into a mains and begin recharging them you can play games on it once more.

Another great feature of the PSP is that it allows you MP3 music on it. Although it comes with a good set of headphones when listening to music on your PSP you may prefer to get a good set of audio ones to use with it instead. A lot people who already have PSP's now not only use theirs to play all their favorite video games on but listen to their favorite music tracks 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.

Along with some great features one of the biggest problems faced by a lot of gamers today is the amount of time it takes a game to load up on to their portable console. However this is where the PSP differs from other such games consoles because it comes with a facility called "sleep mode". So even if you need to leave the game alone for a while in order to do something else by pushing the "sleep mode" button and stops the PSP working so saving battery life. However as soon as you return to the PSP and then hit the sleep mode button once the console will continue to upload from the point where you left it at.

Another great feature that you will find on the Sony PSP compared to many other portable games consoles it has the ability to allow you to play MP4 formatted movies. However for you to be able to do this you will need to arrange to have the right kind of software to convert the movies in to the right format. There are some sites today where you can download such software for free but be wary as some may come with other unexpected features such as spyware and adware.

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.
