A new PSP, now what?

Ok , so you know that the PSP is the best gaming console to hit the market. But did you also know that there are more things that you can do with the Sony PSP besides playing games? The SonyPSP has been hailed by geeks and techies everywhere as the ultimate portable entertainment system, and for good reason. With the Sony PSP you can download and listen to music, watch full-length videos, pore over folders and folders of pictures, read your favorite e-books, and even surf the web.

If you are a music lover, you will definitely love the PSP. You can download your favorite music to the PSP and listen to music everywhere. Of course, you may already have an MP3 player, but with the PSP you can have your games and music stored in one gadget, which makes it very easy to carry around.

If you like your music at full blast, no problem. You can turn your PSP into a boombox in few easy steps. Just add the PSP Stereo Amplifier and you’ll be blasting loud music in no time.

You can do the same for video and text files, although you need to save the videos in the root folder of the memory stick, unlike the others which you can store directly to their subfolders under the main “PSP” folder. One software that lets you sync your music and video files is the PSPWare, which supports most video formats like MOV and VOB. If you want to store videos and music in your PSP it is a good idea to get yourself a memory stick with a larger capacity than the 32 meg. This will allow you to store the movies and videos that you can download AtomFilms, Heavy, Fuse and 29PSP Video Guide.

If you prefer reading books you can download text files to your PSP using PSPBook. The software allows you to convert text into JPEG images. If comics are your thing you’ll be glad to know that Seven Seas Entertainment offers free manga that you can download and read on you PSP. You can check out eigoManga.com and PSPcmx.com for more comic content that you can download to your PSP.

You can also surf the Internet and play multiplayer games online. One of the most popular gaming networks is XLink Kai, where you can play with other PSP users worldwide. The reason for this is because the PSP has a built-in 802.11b wifi capability that allows you to connect to the internet , and with the updated version 2.0, you can now surf the web with ease using the newly added web browser. At first, it may be hard to navigate the web with the PSP’s ‘keyboards’ but as soon as you get used to it, you’ll be surfing in no time. This is perfect if you are mobile and want to instant internet access outdoors.

Lastly, if you have tried using your cellphone lights while making your way in the dark, then you will surely love the PSP, since it can also do the same, and delivers a brighter light with its 110 mm screen and four brightness settings.
