We like:

Light, slim enclosure; better colour reproduction; built-in Skype; deep line-up of great game titles with better graphics than Nintendo DS games

We don't like:

UMD load times slow; screen isn't completely glare-free and is still a magnet for fingerprints; no built-in storage

You might also need:

Games; UMD movies; high-capacity Memory Stick Duo card (for multimedia storage)

CNET.co.uk judgement:

With its impressive game library, lower price and expanded feature set, it's certainly a much better deal than the original PSP -- and it's even better than the PSP 2000. While its media and online functions won't necessarily replace a dedicated AV device or laptop, it will be good for most portable gaming and multimedia needs
