Sony Playstation Portable
Approximate price: Rs 9,000
The Sony PSP is already four years old but it still remains by a long distance the most powerful handheld gaming device in the world. The PSP was Sony’s attempt to weaken Nintendo’s vice-like grip on the handheld gaming segment and though it hasn’t succeeded in that regard it’s still a pretty solid gaming device.
Its greatest strength is the gorgeous screen and a powerful processor which can take advantage of it to deliver great graphics. The screen is easily good enough to watch videos as well making the PSP a very capable media player.
When it comes to gaming, the hallmark of the PSP is a much wider range of games compared to earlier handhelds. You have your usual array of sports and racing games but you also have darker, more adult-oriented fare like the Grand Theft Auto series.
