PSP Features

Holding a brand new PSP in the palm of your hands is one thing but realising the potential of the Sony PSP is another. What you have in your hands is a games console, an MP3 player, a movie player, an Internet browser, a photo viewer plus a lot lot more. This article looks to highlight some of the best features of the Sony PSP and shows you how best to use those features.

The PSP arrived at the end of last year with the kind of buzz surrounding its launch that I hadn't seen since the launch of the playstation 2. This psp buzz was matched by the eagerness of everybody who wanted the psp and it seemed like an eternity before Sony manufactured enough stock to match the demand for the psp. It soon became apparent that the PSP was a whole lot more than just another games console.

PSP Wallpapers
To make the most of your PSP wallpaper you need to upgrade to version 2 of the firmware. This can be done online and detailed instructions are available in your psp manual. A wonderful feature of the psp is the ability to have an image of your choosing as your psp wallpaper. I chose a slightly blurred image of my son in close up as my psp wallpaper. I was amazed at how good this looked, while the psp wallpaper was slightly blurred it highlighted the text above it and made it clearly readable.

Of course you can choose whatever image you like as your psp wallpaper but the process of setting your psp background wallpaper is to firstly enable the psp wallpaper function under themes. You then go to your photo folder on your psp and choose the image you like and set it as your wallpaper.

PSP Hacks
There are a whole host of new psp hacks being found every day but one of the best psp hacks by far is how to run a multiplayer game when there is only one UMD game disk between all of you. It is so simple and by far the best psp hack I have come across.

Start the game on the first psp in ad hoc multiplayer mode and make sure you have unlimited time as well.

On the first psp, eject the UMD game disk and when the message asks if you want to quit answer with no.

Put the UMD disk in the next psp and start a multiplayer ad hoc game as in step 1.

Repeat the process with all players and enjoy!

I love this psp hack a lot.

PSP Downloads
This is a great feature of the psp, the ability to download utilities, software, games, music, movies onto your psp. PSP download sites are appearing everywhere, some are better than others but the ability to do a psp download is an awesome feature.

PSP Games
Of course the primary function of the psp is games. PSP games come in all genres and the catalogues of psp games is expanding every week. One of the best games for the psp so far is without a doubt FIFA 2006, it is a great game but as always it is a matter of preference. There are PSP games for everyone.

This demonstrates just a few of the amazing things the Sony PSP has given us so far. It is still very early days for this awesome product but as new psp games are developed and psp hacks are unearthed along with some amazing downloads for the psp, the future looks very bright for the Sony psp.
