As expected, the PSP reviews are stating to roll in at various gaming and non-gaming sites. I figured it would be fun to see what some of the non-gaming sites have to say about this new gaming wonderment. Continuing on the previous theme (see “PSP Review – Gaming = Good; Multimedia = Bad” post below), pcmag.com rates the PSP a 4.5 our of 5. Of course PCMag is somewhat gaming mainstream since they are a Ziff Davis company, but I digress.
“Originally conceived as the PlayStation Portable (and now simply called the PSP), the slick, gorgeous device succeeds spectacularly as a portable gaming console. If you view its music- and video-playback capabilities as bonus features, you’ll be thrilled; if you were hoping it would be best-in-class at all its endeavors, you’ll be slightly disappointed.”
Frankly I find it a little disconcerting that I am not in Sony’s targeted demographic age group for the PSP (15-25 year old males according to the review). How is a 15 year old going to come up with $250 for this puppy? It sucks being old.
