As you probably already know, The PlayStation Portable is a handheld console created and marketed by Sony. Development of the console was announced during E3 2003, and it was unveiled on May 11, 2004 at a Sony press conference before E3 2004. The PlayStation Portable is the 1st handheld video game console to use an optical disc format, Universal Media Disc (UMD), as its primary storage medium. Other features of PSP include its large viewing screen, robust multi-media capabilities, and connectivity with the PSX3, other PSPs, and the Internet (you can use skype on your PSP!)

There is also The PSP Go, new version of the PSP. It was released on October 1, 2009 in US and EU territories and on November 1 in Japan. PSP Go design is significantly different from other PSPs, it is not intended to replace the PSP 3000, which Sony will continue to sell and support.

PSP Go criticized for its pricing with Ars Technica calling it "way too expensive" and The Guardian stating that cost is the "biggest issue" facing the machine. Is it true? Well I can tell you one thing for sure – now it't cheaper than right after release.

There is around few hundreds games for PSP, including:
