Cheap Playstation Portable Systems We've come a long way in the world of console gaming. The first handheld console game was released in 1979 by Smith Engineering, the Microvision. It failed only two years later. The technology just wasn't very good yet. After that, Nintendo put out the Game Boy, Atari the Lynx, the Sega Game Gear and so on and so forth. Now, over thirteen portable game consoles have been in the make, and now, Sony takes the cake with one of the most innovative game systems yet, the PlayStation Portable, or PSP. First released in Japan in 2004 and the US in March of 2005, the PSP has 52 MB of RAM, and it`s games are stored on UMDs, universal media discs, the first of it`s kind. Despite all of the great innovations involved with the PSP, sales didn't live up to the Sony`s expectations, so in September of 2007, they released the PSP Slim and Lite. The PSP offers opticle disc format, USB connectivity with the PlayStaion 3 as well as one`s own PC and the internet.
