You know it as the ultimate handheld gaming system—the place to play the very best in portable games. You may even know that the PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) system can do a bunch of other things as well. The thing is, once you've held all this in the palm of your hand, you won't ever be the same. The PSP® system has a boatload of talents, including:

Gaming - Over 350 titles—and more coming all the time. The PSP® system's game list already includes the ultimate in portable games, hands down. Pretty much any kind of game you've heard of. The game is definitely on with new offerings from fan faves like God of War ®: Chains of Olympus, Pursuit Force™: Extreme Justice and MLB 08 The Show™ plus cool all-new stuff like Patapon™, Wipeout: Pulse™ and more. The variety of games should keep you busy, and the variety of ways to play means the game is on—whenever, wherever and however you say it is!

Video - More than 460 feature films, TV programs and music videos available on UMD™ disc (each sold seperately). Your PSP® is not playing games. OK, it's not playing games all the time; you can use it to do a ton of other cool (and highly useful) things when you're not in game mode. It beats carrying around a separate gadget to:

• Watch movies and videos: If it's saved to your Memory Stick Duo™, you can play it on your PSP anywhere. Save a good movie or homemade video for a long ride or trip. Or while away the hours with one of the many UMD™ movies you can get for the PSP® system.
• Show photos: Show off with a cool slide show of all your favorite digital pics or beam your photos via Wi-Fi to another PSP®.
• Listen to music: Play your MP3s, WAVs, WMA and ATRAC3+ files, and MP4s on your PSP®. It's your handheld, personal background music to go.
• Get online: Check your email on the go and keep up with the blogs, RSS, news feeds and podcasts you can't live without.
