The PSP (PlayStation Portable) was a portable game console that was revealed at E3 2004 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) in L.A. The console’s reveal left people shocked at how powerful a portable device could become. Playing on par PlayStation 2 games in your hand at the time was an unbelievable! It was revealed to have so many features that many could only dream of: watching video, listening to music, playing 3d games, and web browsing all on one device! There were devices that had features like the PSP but were expensive. The device has a directional pad, thumb stick nub, 4 action buttons, two trigger buttons, a button to change the screen brightness and many others. It uses the original fat USB, unlike the micro-USB we all use, and uses a standard A/C port to charge but the USB can be used to charge it as well. The console has a 4.3” screen with a resolution of 480x272, 32 MB of RAM (64 MB for later models), Graphics card with a clock speed of 133 Mhz and 2 MB of VRam. This all may seem like really weak specifications but at the time was really powerful. Also, the games that run on it were optimized ONLY for the system, so the games could take advantage of the console to its fullest extent. When it comes to games, the PSP released with games like Need for Speed: Underground Rivals, Wipeout Pure, and Dynasty Warriors. Not only did it launch with popular games, popular games all throughout the PSP’s lifecycle were released and was supported by many big third-party developers all throughout its life. After more than 10 years, the PSP is still a popular device to play games that all of us remember. To many people like me, so far there is no portable gaming device that surpasses that PSP’s gameplay.
