The new "PSP E1000" is a smart move by Sony to bring before Christmas a portable console out that almost everyone can afford without hesitation (RRP 99.95) and in the handheld market the cheapest of its kind (followed by Nintendo DS Litte with UVP 129, -).
The packaging of the console is nice to look at and stimulates one for sale. The content, however, is a bit sparse, but what can be due to the price reduction suffered before: The PSP E1000 console, a battery and the AC adapter to recharge the console. The battery and power supply have remained as the PSP 3000 is equal, that is, the battery capacity and the length of the cable match the same as the PSP 3000th
The PSP E1000 but looks very different than all previously published PSPs:
The screen size and the front view are the only things that have remained the same (PSP Go! Not factored in). The surface of the console is no longer shiny, but dull. Whether you want to consider this as an advantage or disadvantage (gloss: fingerprints, looks better / Matt: no fingerprints, does not look as good as glossy out, is better in the hand) should be time up to you.
The known buttons - pad, analog stick, triangle, circle, cross, square - are still at the front. The well is located on the front Home, volume and brightness buttons have been replaced by a touch function. Well done, because you no longer tapers to the risk that these keys are even defective terminals after some time due to frequent press, moved or. On the other hand, it is important to attract the "mainstream" and the "hype" of the touch screen an even broader group of buyers.
The WLAN function and the stereo sound has been omitted from this new PSP to push the price can. Here too, only to think subjectively, and to consider whether we could really use a wireless LAN function or will. On the way you look, unfortunately, often in vain for wireless points also allow one to use them with. If I eg want to download something from the PlayStation Store, this is a mini-USB cable and a PC / laptop, which also has access to the Internet.
The lack of stereo sound, I miss though as usual PSP 3000 players, but for such a price you just have to draw some compromises into account. Especially when you look at films or plays without headphones, it is noticeable, but you certainly get used to it yet.
This PSP is physically seen little harder and makes you feel, not something immediately to keep fragile items in your hand. The weight makes up for a certain feel and stability. Also, due to the matt surface has a firm grip with slightly sweaty hands and not have to fear that a light could fall out of his hand.
The graphics are just as much stayed the same and some games (eg Final Fantasy Crisis Core) blew me away because of their level of detail and the swanky graphics still off the stool. Reduced graphics performance you have to because of the price drop, thank God not accept and can gamble in all its glory. Also, various attributes that you can continue to use (eg camera) you can use even with this PSP and just have fun with it.
Conclusion: The PSP has always been due to ingenious games my favorite in the market for handhelds. In addition now comes even that they are now is the best handheld, what you can get as new present.
Absolute buy recommendation.
