What customers say about "Screen"
Sony PSP 1000 Series Handheld Console
  • There is no scratches and perfectly clean screen.
  • The screen size is nice compared to the other systems out there.
  • The controls and screen are excellent.
  • The screen on the PSP is amazing.
  • The screen is beautiful and UMD movies look great on it.
Sony PlayStation Vita Handheld Game Console
  • The touch screen is super responsive.
  • The screen is amazing - large and clear.
  • The touch screen and "back touch screen" plays a great role on some games.
  • The new model has an LCD screen, still sharp picture but maybe a little less contrast, but much improved battery life.
  • The only bad part is that the screen is LCD and its a little dimmer than the last version of the ps vita. A great buy and its good for everyone!

What customers say about "Multimedia"
Sony PSP 1000 Series Handheld Console
  • This system is perfect because you can listen to music, watch movies, play video games, look at pictures, go on the internet, watch TV, etc.
  • High definition screen quality and sharpness.
  • Very smooth and amazing game play.
  • It's well built and plays all games.
  • The PSP is a compact, light device, with a large screen and easy to reach buttons.
Sony PlayStation Vita Handheld Game Console
  • Good for trips or travelling! Plus there is a lot of master piece games you can download or purchase through PSN.
  • It has excellent graphics, but also it has an excellent camera so we used it to take photos.
  • Also it has wi-fi so we used it while overseas to get onto the internet- so very useful for our trip when I did not want to be bringing my laptop!
  • Some of games on psn don't even have descriptions & or pictures to explain the games purpose.
  • The system it self is also disappointing , with certain features missing like battery percentage, skipping music with L& R.
