60 Reasons to Own a PSP Part 3

June 15, 2007 in Blog comments 17

Here are the reasons in short:

1. The games
2. PSOne classics
3. Downloadable demos
4. Great homebrew games
5. Play flash games on the go
6. Download or convert your own videos
7. UMD Movies
8. Music playback
9. Image galleries and slideshows
10. Memory Stick compatible with other devices
11. Free downloadable content for games.
12. RSS Channel automatically downloads movies, images and audio.
13. Remote Play with PS3.
14. Location Free Player streams TV to PSP.
15. Customizable wallpaper (and XMB icons).

NOTE : The first ten were covered in a different news article here at gamegrep.

11. Free downloadable content for games
Microtransactions? On PSP, the price for game expansions has been zero Microsoft Points. Many popular PSP games have the option to be extended through downloadable content. Of particular note is Wipeout Pure, which more than doubled in size after months of consistent content releases. Killzone Liberation also received a bonus Infrastructure mode and an additional single-player chapter months after release. Burnout Dominator offered PSP owners something PS2 owners could never enjoy: two brand new downloadable levels. In addition, fans can share user-created levels in Mega Man Powered Up, and in new releases like PQ2. The future looks bright as the upcoming Wipeout Pulse will continue the trend.

      Well, you can already do. If you have a PSP with homebrew capability (running an Open Edition firmware), you can play FFVII without a problem. And for others FFI and FFII are being released for PSP this month.

    I think overall, just online compatibility is the best.

    Most of those reasons are pretty weak really, my psp hasn't seen the light of day in a long time, it lacks the one big thing it really needs and that is a catalogue o fgood games. I mean all the added features are nice but it's a games system and I bought it to play games. I didn't buy it to listen to music to download stuff or to watch movies, I bought it for games and that's where it really dissapoints.

    As if anyone needed 60 reasons lol I mean, 7 and 8 on that list there would do for me, in addition of course to Number 1.

    The graphics are one of the best things IMO. On most of the games anyway.

    lol True enough, I wouldn't buy a console, handheld or otherwise, just because of that. But it is a good addition, a nice little, harmless fun feature to set it apart from other handhelds.

    Even if they did, that'd just be another positive. Not a reaosn by itself to get one of course, but just a nice little addition on the side.
