Introduction

The Sony Playstation Portable, or PSP has been out for a while now. The last portable game system I had was the Gameboy Color so it has been a while since I've seen what portable devices can do. When the Sony PSP was announced a lot of people were very excited for it and everyday I see people with them, getting in some gaming time while waiting in line or on their lunch break. This is a refurbished product, but as you know all the refurbished products from Geeks.com that we have received haven't had any problems with them at all. You can get a refurbished PSP from Geeks.com for $150. So let's see what all the excitement is about.

The box opens up and we can see that the PSP unit is nicely packaged in bubble-wrap. Once we get everything out of the retail package, we have the following items: AC adapter, power cord, the PSP unit, and instructions.
