Collection: PSP

The Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) launched in Japan on December 12, 2004, for 19,800 Yen. It is a 4.3-inch widescreen handheld known for high-quality graphics ("PS2 in your pocket") and UMD (Universal Media Disc) games/movies. Japanese models, often denoted by a '0' in the model number (e.g., PSP-3000) or special colors, typically use the circle button for confirmation.

  • It was the "Walkman of the 21st Century": Sony’s CEO originally dubbed the PSP this during its reveal, envisioning it as a multimedia powerhouse for music and movies, not just a gaming device
  • The "Invisible" Game: A Japanese horror game called Hellboy: The Science of Evil was once rumored to have a "ghost" UMD that could only be seen under certain lighting—though this turned out to be a clever marketing myth
  • Double the RAM: When Sony released the "Slim & Lite" (PSP-2000), they actually doubled the RAM from 32MB to 64MB to help games load faster and reduce UMD spin times [4, 5].
  • A Web Browser in your Pocket: Years before the iPhone made it standard, the PSP was many people's first experience with a mobile web browser, allowing users to surf the internet via Wi-Fi 
  • Windows on PSP?: While not official, the homebrew community famously found ways to run "shells" that looked exactly like Windows XP or Windows 95, complete with a movable cursor controlled by the analog stick
