PSP 3000 Limited Edition Rock Band Unplugged Entertainment Pack
I love my system! I watch movies on it, listen to music, and play games daily. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 and above all are so cool to play. Also, I played the heck out of Jet Moto 2, downloaded from PS Store, and GTA Liberty City Stories. The pack came with a 4gb memory card which got me off to a great start being able to load alot of music, games, and movies. I really didnt want the game but this is one of the most popular games so I sold it to Gamestop for $18, which made the system w/4gb memory and movie cost $172. I love this toy, it’s what we all wanted when the first Gameboy came out and finally the dream has arrived.
Getting this game pack is worth the money. I’ve never played rock band before, and now I can see why it’s so addicting. The pack doesn’t include a USB cord or earphones, so you would need to buy it separately. But overall, I would DEFINITELY recommend this product.
This is the best bundle you can find. The new PSP 3000 works fine.
I only had a problem with the movie. I tried to redeem the PlaystationStore Movie Voucher that you receive with the PSP, for “School of Rock”. I followed the instructions, inside the Playstation Store I selected the “Redeem Codes” option and typed in the number I got.
The first time I entered the code I got a message saying it was ready to download; but the download process failed.
Then I tried to download again by reentering the movie voucher code.
I got an error message saying:
“The code you entered may not be correct or may no longer be valid. Please check your entries”.
I sent many e-mails to SONY Support [...]. I explained the problem and provided them the details of my PSN account.
They did not help me, I could not download the movie. Poor service, very slow.
I’ve never owned a PSP until now and I have to say this is a great bundle for anyone that wants to jump into the PSP! I picked this up because I plan on doing a lot of traveling in the near future and wanted to take some gaming on the road with me.
In addition to the core PSP stuff you would normally get, you also get a 4 GB memory stick, Rock Band Unplugged, and a download of School of Rock off of the Playstation Network. If you were to buy all of those items separately you would end up spending much more than what they are charging for it. After buying this bundle you really only need to look for a travel case and/or a case to store the games in.
For the PSP in general, it’s a great system. I own pretty much every other console out right now including the Nintendo DS. While I love my DS, this portable console offers more games for the older gamer, games that are a lot closer to playing a Playstation 3 in your hands. The graphics are great and the controls are very easy to pick up.
If you have been thinking about doing some portable gaming, I definitely recommend this bundle as a way to start. Have fun gaming!
The all new slimmer PSP 3000 Rock Band Unplugged comes in with a couple of new upgrades over the PSP 2000 model. Primarily for the Skype functionality, a microphone is onboard along with a reduced glare 4.3″ screen. As far as glare reduction goes, I did not see that much of a difference over the PSP 2000. Its a given that fingerprints will still be a continued problem for the PSP line. Thankfully, the age old problem of ghosting has yet to appear on my new PSP 3000.
One of the sweeter features now is an upgraded (AV) video output support. Owners can now operate their systems with regular (NON HD) TV. I suggest buyers pick up a good add on composite or component cable. With the usual collection of great games, improved graphics is a major plus.
As with all previous models, control buttons layout are very much like the classic Play Station. One area of concern is that load times for the UMD (Universal Media Disc) seemed to drag a bit. Its a given that purchasing the kit which includes the proprietary MS Duo Card is more cost effective in the end. Its obvious that Sony missed the boat when it went with its own proprietary format instead of the more widely used and less costly SD standard.
Even though Wi-fi capable, the unit is outfitted with possibly the slowest version (802.11b) on the planet. It powers up via a 5 volt ac adapter or USB. Video playback is great as long as you copy your favorites on the memory stick Duo Card. Going any other way is definitely a slow dragged out process. When it comes to television, Sony’s own version of Slingbox allows for free tv viewing.
This PSP won’t get confused with your IPOD anytime soon but music play is generally good. Another added feature is that it will even support music art. If one is going to display photos on the PSP I strongly suggest compressing your files. Photo display can be slide show or singles.
With beat match, overdrive and chords, Rock Band Unplugged game brings it on with a few tune ups from the originals. Complete customization of the band including, characters, styling and band logo is still there. Plate spinning modes takes the player full throttle on an around the world tour. A new twist from Unplugged is players must keep all of the instruments playing simultaneously. A collection of over forty songs from the sixties to now are included. More songs can be downloaded can be downloaded via Wifi.
The PSP 3000 is also a web browser. However, its hit and miss for flash. Streaming internet radio via Shoutcast is a freebie. PSP offers a regular schedule of firmware updates. As with the earlier editions, via a network or the internet the unit can pick up audio, video and photo files that are stored on a PS3. The PSP 3000 comes with the standard 1200 mAh rechargeable battery. Battery life runs almost a full 5 hours whether one is gaming or watching a movie.
Necessary accessories such as a protective screen cover, headphones and a carrying case are not included. Not all PSP headphones are compatible with the PSP 3000. When purchasing headphones read the specs carefully. Even without the accessories, PSP 3000 Rock Band Unplugged Pack still brings it on. After all, its Play Station.
