Oustanding color - Great System!
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.
Girls just wanna have fun, and they do
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. The Rock Band bundle followed shortly after. Now, a little girl in the house she needs her own PSP and she gets to keep it for as long as she does well in school. And, like must girls her age, she's Hannah Montana's hugest fan. It didn't really come to a choice between a HM live concert and the purple PSP. It turns out the show was sold out in our area before we had a chance to buy tickets so the HM PSP Entertainment Pack was the logical choice - because it was the only choice.
THE BUNDLE
----------
The bundle costs a few more than the 'clean' PSP-3000 but, in our case, the convenience of getting it together with a little game AND a memory card AND a few HM episodes on a second UMD disc justified the extra expense because she REALLY wanted a PSP of her own and she REALLY likes purple - the 'lilac' is a pretty good approximation of her favorite color.
The 'Pack' includes the following:
- The PSP 3000 itself in black
- 2GB Memory card
- The Hannah Montana: Rock Out The Show game
- A few HM episodes on a separate disc
- Stickers
- Manual, promos, registration card, etc.
Since this is our third PSP-3000, it was up and running within minutes but, trying to be objective, someone new to the PSP environment should be able to have it running with basic functions pretty quickly - half an hour to a couple of hours.
The Rock out the Show game appears to be interesting and fun - lets a girl practice her management skills and develops it develops her sense of rhythm. Our girl just started playing it and the general idea is that Robbie Ray is temporarily gone and HM is fully in charge with managing her ongoing world tour. The player can dress up Hannah, pick the songs, set the stage and so on. Oh, and there are about a dozen songs and Hannah sings while the games are being played. Pretty cool, or so my girl is telling me.
The HM episodes are... just that. She's watched each one many times already, on a big screen. She didn't show much interest in replaying them on the tiny PSP but they may come in handy next time we go on a road trip.
Note:
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 probably be using the included 2GB to archive photos - will hold over 1000 - because we are planning to store a few movies when taking it on the road. Movies take about 0.5GB each.
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. It's worth noting that the Hanna Montana edition finish is more forgiving than the regular piano black PSPs when it comes to fingerprints. But, let me proceed with a more structured discussion.
STAND-ALONE OPERATION (DISCONNECTED)
----------------------------------------
Once charged, 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.
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 when we ordered the HM pack, because the Go price is a little to high - we have 3 kids - and 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 whose girl is a HM fan, this is the perfect bundle. Well... the only bundle. If HM 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.
She Loved It
My daughter loved the system, she said she never saw a purple one. And the episodes incased were also loved. The game is extremely easy even for a 10 year old. Very good purchase. Keeps her occupied.
