Lifetime Review: Sony Playstation Portable

Sony Playstation Portable is Sony's first entry to the handheld market. When it was unveiled on May 11, 2004 by Sony during E3, it generates a lot of hype with graphic unmatched by any other handhelds at that time.
The PSP was released in Japan on December 12, 2004, continued by North America on March 24, 2005 and in Europe on September 1, 2005.
