PSP 3000 Limited Edition Rock Band Unplugged Entertainment Pack - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've been a PS3 household ever since the 60GB version came about so, with two pre-teens in the house, we were ripe for a PSP adoption. We actually bought the Ratchet & Clank Pack a few months ago because one of my kids was a fan of the game. Now, with 2 boys and one girl in the house, one PSP turns out not to be enough. We're on Hold for the Hannah Montana edition for our little girl but we had no choice but get the Rock Band edition for the one who just turned 'teen' last week.

The bundle costs a few more than the 'clean' PSP-3000 but, in our case, the convenience of getting it together with the game AND a memory card AND a downloaded movie justified the extra expense because the kid REALLY wanted both the PSP and the game and, if you add up all that you get with the bundle, you come out ahead this way.

The 'Pack' includes the following:

- The PSP 3000 itself in black
- 4GB memory card
- The game on a UMD disk
- A downloadable movie voucher
- Manual, promos, registration card, etc.

I couldn't discuss Rock Band myself because I don't really play Rock Band and my kid is still practicing so, see Rock Band Unplugged for absolutely EXCELLENT reviews from those who spent some serious time rocking on the PSP (I salute you). And here are the reviews for School of Rock (Widescreen Edition) (for the movie itself not for the PSN download).

Given the PSP's built-in Wi-Fi and its PS3 integration you can do quite a few things out of the box if you have Wi-Fi or a PS3 but, for a better gaming experience we ordered a 16GB memory stick and will be using the included 4GB on a camera because we are planning to store a few movies when taking it on the road. Movies take about 0.5GB.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
-------------------
I was surprised of how good and versatile and elegant this little console can be. It has most of the PS3 buttons, including one analog joystick, the display is large and bright, the resolution is good (480x272), and it responds quickly to controls. It appears to be solidly built. Unlike prior models, this one comes with a built-in microphone while the sound output can be either through the internal speakers or headphones (not included). After charging the battery, my kid was up and running and happy in no time. But, let me proceed with a more structured discussion.

STAND-ALONE OPERATION (DISCONNECTED)
----------------------------------------
The PSP 3000 will play games or movies delivered on UMDs or off a Memory Stick card. In addition, it will display photos and play music stored on the Memory card.

NETWORKING AND INTERNET CONNECTIVITY
--------------------------------------
The built-in Wi-Fi allows the PSP 3000 to access the Playstation Netowork and Playstation Store directly. Off the box, there is an Internet browser, a Search (the Internet) function, several Internet Radio applications and the ability to use the PSP as a Skype phone for as long as one has a Skype account and the PSP happens to be within the range of a Wi-Fi hotspot.

PS3 INTEGRATION
-----------------
After the PSP is paired with the PS3, the PS3 can 'push' video, photos, music and even PSP games downloaded from the Playstation Store when connected through a USB wire. When wireless, the PSP can basically take over the PS3 - actually display the PS3's own screen and display photos stored on the PS3, play music stored on the PS3. Movie play is not supported. Amazingly, you can access your PS3 remotely from anywhere in the Universe for as long as your PSP can access the Net via Wi-Fi.

When playing music, it's possible to play it on the PSP's own speakers/headphones or have the PS3 play it itself, the PSP therefore acting as a remote control device.

I suspect that additional capabilities exist that I am not aware of yet and we uncover new uses and new features all the time.

PC INTEGRATION
----------------
Through a USB connection, the PC will see the PSP's memory card as an attached drive. This will allow for music, photo or movie files to be transferred directly to the PSP.

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
----------------------
The PSP 3000 comes very close to being the perfect portable game-playing (and more) machine, at least in the Sony universe. Perfection would be achieved if the 'keyboard' interface were improved - it's awful now - if it had touch screen capabilities and if file transfers from the PS3 were possible wirelessly. Also on the wish list, I hope that there were more legal 'digital copy' movies available for the PSP. And Bluetooth.

PSP-3000 vs. PSP GO
---------------------
The question begs itself: how about a PSP Go? Well, in our case, the Go was out of the question because it wasn't available for purchase on our kid's birthday, because the price is a little to high - we have 3 kids - and because, at this time, we would rather keep our games on disks so that they can be easily shared amongst our tribe and won't be depended too much on our memory card's limitations. Of course, our concerns may not apply to everyone.

MY RATING
-----------
For anyone into Rock Band, this is the perfect bundle. If Rock Band is not your game, then you are probably better off with a 'clean' PSP and then get your own memory card, games, movies, etc.

For what you get, it's a 4.5 stars plus, rounded up to 5.

________________________

Note:

It would be almost sinful not to protect your new PSP. We use PSP Logitech PlayGear Pocket - Slim. It doesn't have compartments to store UMDs or memory cards but it does wrap around your 3000 like a glove and, in my view, it provides the best protection.

Sonic Rivals 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sonic Rivals 2 lets you play as different teams through a story mode, or enjoy free play. You get to experience the familiar Sonic world on your PSP in casual adventure fun.

Be Sonic & Tails, Shadow & Metal Sonic, Knuckles & Rogue, or Silver & Espio. Each character has her or her own personality, special abilities and look. You can test them all out in free play mode to get the hang of their talents and see which one is the best fit for you.

People new to the Sonic world might find this game a bit challenging. where most games have an easy ramp-up level or two where they say "press X now to attack", this game simply drops you into a level and expects you to know everything. The plot comes at you staccato with references to people and places you might not recognize at all. Really, the plot means nothing - but again it might be frustrating to a newcomer. They feel like they're missing what is going on in more than one way.

Still, once you get the hang of the buttons and accept the plot problems, the game is arcade fun. The maps have a lot of tiny details that add interest, far more banners and mossy areas and ivy trails than were necessary. The graphic designers obviously had some fun here. There are high roads and low roads and hidden roads - there's a lot of incentive to play and replay a level. the first few times through a level are just to get the sense of its general layout. It's only after a number of times through a level that you really start to explore all its paths.

The sound is what you'd expect from an arcade style game. Upbeat, stereotypical voices, jazzy pop music, appropriate brrrrings! and "Yeah, let's do this!" calls. It adds a boost of fun to your zooming around in loop-de-loops.

The controls are responsive and get you where you need to go. They've really got that aspect of Sonic games down.

Highly recommended for Sonic fans who want yet another handheld way to spend some time in mindless fun while they ride a bus or wait in line. There's no multi-hour RPG puzzles here, nothing to tie you up if you have to hit pause. It's perfect for filling in the quiet times of day with something fun and engaging. If you're new to the Sonic series, though, I'd recommend starting with Sonic Rivals 1. That way you get at least some grounding in what is going on.

For parents, this is good clean fun. Little characters are racing along roller coaster style racetracks and trying to gather gold hoops. It's rated E for everyone.

With three new characters, 12 new stages, and upgraded signature moves for each character, the enhanced Rivals experience will bring a whole new level of handheld fun to the PSP system.

PSP 3000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have just received this Limited Edition Lilac PSP bundle and am extremely happy. Having bought it as a 2nd PSP, it was purchased primarily for the unique color which is a relief considering the lack of colors available in the USA. The Lilac is more purple than pink and also has a deep shimmer. (not matte) NOTE: There is NO logo or Hannah Montana art on the PSP console, it is just plain lilac front and back with separate stickers you can use to decorate your PSP if desired. After playing with it for the day, the lilac color does NOT show the fingerprints the way the black PSP's do which is very nice. The silver/gray accenting compliments the lilac color without making it TOO young looking which is great for older teens & adult gamers wanting this color. Overall, well done and a worthy color to add to the USA PSP line!

As to the console itself, although it is the same as the other 3000 model PSP's, my lilac edition has a sturdier UMD door that closes snugly and doesn't feel loose (unlike my black from the Ratchet & Clank Bundle) Personally I am happier with the quality of the lilac edition over the black I purchased for my daughter a few months back. This console comes with a Hanna Montana game & 2nd UMD with her TV show episodes. Also a 2 GB memory stick and standard black power cord/adapter. I had no trouble setting up my PSP for first use and was gaming within minutes of opening the PSP box. If you've been wanting a colored PSP in the USA and like the lilac color, this is worth the price and it is MUCH nicer in person. The color just shimmers. Highly recommended.

PSP 3000 Limited Edition Ratchet and Clank Entertainment Pack - Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So this is the 3rd iteration for the Playstation Portable.
I've personally experienced the first 2, selling my original PSP Phat for the PSP Slim (2000).
I've done the same again and sold my slim and bought the 3000.

The improvements over the PSP 2000, are a improved LCD screen which I must say is pretty improved, and a built in Microphone. (Finally I can make use of the skype feature as well as chat online in psp games.)

So is this a justifiable upgrade? For the improvements not really.
But if you're in the market for a PSP right now... The PSP 3000 is an ideal step into the PSP World.

Also following up the PSP 3000's launch is the Firmware 5.00 which brings Playstation Store (found on PS3) to the PSP.
But this firmware will be hitting all iterations of PSP.

So...Great purchase for me...Hope all of you here on Amazon do the same :)

With this Limited Edition set, you'll get to play Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters right out of the box. A combination of a platformer and shooter, Size Matters delivers the over-the-top humor and fun that the series has come to be known for.
As is Ratchet and Clank's hallmark, the game features large cache of weapons, each of which can be upgraded to become larger and stronger. It's the sheer wackiness of the weapons that makes the game so much fun: among the many weapons at your disposal, you'll have the option of wielding a shotgun, a pistol that shoots killer bees, and a gun that shoots out robots.
The game makes full use of the PSP hardware and incorporates multiple lighting and particle effects without any slowdown in gameplay.
With this Limited Edition Entertainment Pack, you won't be lacking in entertainment options when you're on the run. In fact, you might actually start looking forward to your long commute.

PSP 3000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, there are three (3) reviews before this one and none of them talk about the Pack. So I will do my best here. First of all, the real color of the PSP is not the green represented in the picture. The picture shows a light green PSP and it's actually more a DARK Green! It looks great. IMO it looks a lot better than the picture in the box. Soon I will upload pictures! Now, nobody seems to care about this next issue I found: THE PACK INCLUDES Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker without the UMD CASE, I mean, THERE ARE NO BOX COVER ART in this package. For me it's a disadvantage 'cause I like the box art design. So, if having the UMD Case w/ Art is a priority, you should avoid this one and buy a Core Pack PSP and the Peace Walker game separately. I just learned to live w/ the pain... =( This PSP Entertainment Pack also includes a Memory Stick Pro Duo of 2GB (you'll need more than 2GB if you want to put videos and music on - Peace Walker has the option to install game data to faster the loading times and it takes about 800MB) and two vouchers: one is for downloading items for the game (stealth gun and a FOX T-Shirt) and another to download "2012" Movie at Wide Screen Standard Resolution - 480p (which can be transferred to the PS3 if you connect your PSP via USB once you downloaded the movie - I don't know if you can put the code into the PSN in the PS3, I guess you can).

I have to say that the GameStop exclusive Big Boss Pack is a much better deal than this one since it includes a 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo (not just 2GB) and a Peace Walker Branded accessory kit (which includes a carrying case for the PSP) for the same price. I didn't get that one because I don't like the camouflaged PSP. And after seeing the real green color of the Peace Walker Entertainment Pack I'm more than happy w/ it and I don't regret it!

The Peace Walker game by itself makes the PSP a greater system. It's really a Metal Gear Solid Game! It continues the story after Portable Ops events but it's more a sequel of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (which is great). The Dialogues, the scenes, the story... everything is there, in a pocket size! Peace Walker uses the RPG elements introduced in Portable Ops but expand them a lot more. If you like MGS series, you'll love this one. If you don't like / know MGS Series, YOU SHOULD TRY this one. It's really good! Personally, I'm having more fun than MGS4 game (I don't mean METAL GEAR ONLINE). The only weak point of the game is the Missing INFRASTRUCTURE mode for ONLINE Co-op / Vs. It's just Ad-Hoc. I have heard that you can link your PSP trough a PS3 via Ad-Hoc Party mode and play online, but I don't know how to do it and I haven't seen it in the instruction manual yet! Ad-Hoc Co-op is great: smooth and straight forward. You don't need a lot of tech knowledge to host/join a game. It's just great! 4/5 for the game (-1 for the missing infrastructure mode - I really miss it, even Portable Ops has it).

The other details that is not covered are the one for the PSP 3000, which you can find in others reviews around the web. This Pack doesn't include a new PSP, it's just a Green Colored PSP 3000.

I recommend this Pack for those who don't like the Camouflaged PACK (or don't like to buy in GameStop).I really like the color and for now (Amazon.com always lowers the games' prices), you can save about 20 bucks (PSP core-$170, MGS:PW-$39.99, and MemStick 2GB- about $7? = ~$217! I didn't count the "2012" movie because, honestly, who thinks this movie is a deal maker?! I mean, the movie is not that good and it's not HD either! So I'm seeing it as a welcome addition more than a deal maker! ;) I hope this helps! I will update the review if I find any other relevant thing!

The PlayStation Portable 3000 Limited Edition Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Entertainment Pack brings together the latest hardware revision of the PlayStation Portable (PSP), with Metal Gear Solid tactical stealth action and overall digital entertainment like you never thought possible. The Bundle includes a "Spirited Green" PSP-3000 system, a copy of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker in UMD format, a 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, a PlayStation Store downloadable movie voucher (title tba)* and a code to unlock in-game content including the Stealth gun and FOX T-shirt.

The new "Spirited Green" PSP-3000.
Viewlarger. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Stories tell of a legendary soldier who once waged war against the world. His name was Naked Snake, a.k.a. Big Boss, and the truth behind this legend will finally be told. The era is the 1970's. Big Boss had stationed his "Soldiers Without Borders" in the steaming jungles of Colombia, South America, where he was approached by visitors from Costa Rica, a "nation without a military." In the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis, as Latin America became a key to maintaining the power balance between East and West, Costa Rica had miraculously managed to maintain its peace and neutrality. However, in various regions of the country, a mysterious armed force seemed to be engaging in suspicious activities. Now, to preserve peace in this nation without a military, the "Soldiers Without Borders" move into action. In time, they would be known as the founders of "Outer Heaven." Forge a new path and live the legend with Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, the first official Hideo Kojima game on the PSP system.

The ultimate PSP entertainment pack for MGS fans.

All the ease, advanced features and slim style of the PSP-3000.
Viewlarger. 4-player Co-op Multiplayer Action
Along with a deep single player mode Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker contains exceptional multiplayer co-op functionality. Co-op action is facilitated via the PSP's local wireless ad-hoc connection and features different types of missions.

Players have their choice of different versions of Snake. These not only possess differing appearance, but more importantly, differing strengths.

Midnight Club 3 Dub Ed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well I won't say that the load times are short because they aren't as you all know from reading every other review. They are the longest of any PSP game. But the game is very good. Frame rates aren't the greatest while racing but very good while just 'cruising' the city. The races are easier to win than NFS:Rivals and that makes this the BETTER game. NFS makes it almost impossible to win races as they get harder. NFS AI makes almost no mistakes which is not realistic as nobody is perfect. This game is a whole lot of fun. The first city, "San Diego" has loads and loads of streets. The city isn't exactly like the real San Diego but many things are there like Petco park, Convention center and railed vehicles and the rollercoaster at Mission Bay. San Diego is my favorite city in the US!
I highly recommend this game even at the higher cost of $50. Many hours of programming went into the game at Rockstar which you have to give them credit for the long hours the workers had to endure to create this game. Rockstar- You Rock! Thanks for keeping us intertained!

Midnight Club: LA Remix Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While the latest PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Midnight Club have gotten the most attention, this LA Remix version will please PSP fans looking for some hot, wild racing on the go.

This version in fact adds a second city, Tokyo, which you unlock in career mode after mastering LA.

LA Remix also has ad-hoc wireless racing for up to four players.

In short, at $40, this version of MC probably gives you the most bang for your buck.

And did I mention how good the game looks on the PSP's bright little screen?Beautiful -- and the cars handle wonderfully as well.

What cars are here?Tuners including a Pontiac Solstice and Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged.Muscle cars past and present, like a '69 Mustang Boss 302, a '70 General Lee, and the new Camaro.Plus exotics like the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster, the Ford GT and Shelby Cobra, a brace of Lambos, and a Saleen S7.No Ferraris or Bugattis, unfortunately...

There are shortcuts and multiple routes... cop chases and interference... wild power-ups and air time... and your car takes damage -- too much, and the race is over!

The long and short is -- there's tons of fun for PSP fans here.Highly recommended!
