In 2005, Sony entered the handheld gaming market with their PSP. With its sleek black design, large LCD screen, and stereo speakers, memory card slot, and familiar Sony button layout gamers eagerly awaited its release.

The PSP plays both videogames and movies using a new media format called UMD (Universal Media Disc). It also offers wireless networking for gaming and web browsing. The PSP will also let you connect to your PC via a mini USB cable allowing you to copy games, video, music and pictures. Sony released the system in the US as a value pack which included a system case, case strap, cleaning cloth, headphones, ac power adapter, 32MB Memory Stick, and the movie Spiderman 2.
