Holding a brand new PSP in the palm of your hands is one thing but realising the potential of the Sony PSP is another. What you have in your hands is a games console, an MP3 player, a movie player, an Internet browser, a photo viewer plus a lot lot more. This article looks to highlight some of the best features of the Sony PSP and shows you how best to use those features.

The PSP arrived at the end of last year with the kind of buzz surrounding its launch that I hadn’t seen since the launch of the playstation 2. This psp buzz was matched by the eagerness of everybody who wanted the psp and it seemed like an eternity before Sony manufactured enough stock to match the demand for the psp. It soon became apparent that the PSP was a whole lot more than just another games console.

PSP Wallpapers To make the most of your PSP wallpaper you need to upgrade to version 2 of the firmware. This can be done online and detailed instructions are available in your psp manual. A wonderful feature of the psp is the ability to have an image of your choosing as your psp wallpaper. I chose a slightly blurred image of my son in close up as my psp wallpaper. I was amazed at how good this looked, while the psp wallpaper was slightly blurred it highlighted the text above it and made it clearly readable.

Of course you can choose whatever image you like as your psp wallpaper but the process of setting your psp background wallpaper is to firstly enable the psp wallpaper function under themes. You then go to your photo folder on your psp and choose the image you like and set it as your wallpaper.

PSP Hacks There are a whole host of new psp hacks being found every day but one of the best psp hacks by far is how to run a multiplayer game when there is only one UMD game disk between all of you. It is so simple and by far the best psp hack I have come across.

Start the game on the first psp in ad hoc multiplayer mode and make sure you have unlimited time as well.

On the first psp, eject the UMD game disk and when the message asks if you want to quit answer with no.

Put the UMD disk in the next psp and start a multiplayer ad hoc game as in step 1.

Repeat the process with all players and enjoy!

I love this psp hack a lot.

PSP Downloads This is a great feature of the psp, the ability to download utilities, software, games, music, movies onto your psp. PSP download sites are appearing everywhere, some are better than others but the ability to do a psp download is an awesome feature.

PSP Games Of course the primary function of the psp is games. PSP games come in all genres and the catalogues of psp games is expanding every week. One of the best games for the psp so far is without a doubt FIFA 2006, it is a great game but as always it is a matter of preference. There are PSP games for everyone.

Nintendo is poised to dominate the next-generation console war with their new, revolutionary console: the Nintendo Wii.

Despite the odd moniker, Nintendo fans have wholly embraced the new system, which utilizes motion-sensing technology in the Wii remote, or ‘Wii-mote’ to help turn video games into a more realistic virtual reality experience.

Players of the Nintendo Wii can control characters by waving around the Wii Remote and can gain a more precise level of control with optional peripherals, such as the Wii Zapper. This device allows the player to aim at targets generated by the Nintendo Wii in true 3D space.

This revolutionary concept is allowing Nintendo to sieze a very large market share by targetting gamers who value gameplay or graphics quality.

The Nintendo Wii proves, beyond a doubt, that Nintendo will continue to be a dominant market force for years to come. For additional insight and discussion, stop by our Wii Board and Wii Forums to discuss the Nintendo Wii.
