Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire PSP Game Reviews:
Aaron L. Shaw "Casual Reviewer" (Provo, UT USA) - It's about time. A fun Harry Potter Game. What you have heard is true. This is an action Harry Potter game. I love it. It will keep the attention of anyone who has not been a fan in the past. This is because this is an action game where as the other potter games have been a hunt for and talk to collect-a-thon. Is there talking this time? Yes, but only while you are fihghting. In fact, you do not have to read anything if you do not want to. Excellent audio samples and voice acting. The game is fast, fun and creative. You will casts numerous spells. A big complaint has been that you don't pick your spells, you just always press the same button and perform whatever spell fits the situation. BUt I like it. It would slow down the action if you had to go through some menu, and it would limit the spells if they were limited to the number of buttons. Bottom line: Great action game. If you remotely like the series, you will finaly love the game.

A Kid's Review - I had been waiting 4 months for this game to come out, and it was worth the wait! This game is incredible! The graphics are some of the best on the PSP, The controls are very easy to get use to, and the game-play is just plain fun. The levels are sometimes a little hard, but when you die you just come back to life agian whithout having to restart the level. The levels span from collecting glowing magic shields to out-flying dragons. Over all I think this is the best Harry Potter game to date!

Sony PSP - Playstation Portable

The era of no-compromises handheld gaming has arrived. Get ready for immersive, 3D gaming on a portable console that is poised to change the way we think about gaming devices. With wireless internet, video and digital music playback, and incredible data storage and connectivity options, the Sony PSP, or PlayStation Portable, is a complete solution for the mobile digital lifestyle. Sony has combined both horsepower and groundbreaking features into a package that weighs just a hair more than half a pound.

Playstation Portable Design: The Sony PSP's exceptional performance comes from a 333 MHz processor that dwarfs the speed of competing handheld consoles. Add this polygon-pushing muscle to 4 MB of fast DRAM and 32 MB of embedded RAM, and you've got a device with graphics rendering capabilities close to that of the PlayStation2 (PS2). And because no game is complete without audio, the Sony PSP is generously appointed with built-in stereo speakers, as well as Dolby Digital 7.1 surround sound capability. Sony has also pulled out all the stops with the PSP LCD display. The bright, 4.3-inch LCD sports a 16:9 aspect ratio and 480 x 272 pixel resolution--plenty of real estate for heavy gaming action and widescreen-format movies. All of this is powered by a removable, and rechargeable, lithium-ion battery.

PSP Screen Resolution: The 4.3-inch display sports a 16:9 aspect ratio and 480 x 272 pixel resolution. Movies and games on the go have never been more gorgeous.

PSP Controls: From a controls perspective, the Sony PSP is made for gaming. If you're familiar with a PlayStation controller, you'll be a pro at the PSP's controls in no time. Directional buttons, as well as an analog stick are provided. Meanwhile, the familiar left and right shoulder buttons, as well as triangle, circle, cross and square buttons are integrated into the device's slim case. Finally, home, select, and start buttons give you quick access and control over the PSP's important functions. To have and to hold: The PSP's easy-to-master controls are cleverly integrated into the device's slim profile.

Sony PSP UMD Mini discPlaystation Portable Supported Media: At the heart of the Sony PSP is a new, proprietary media format known as the Universal Media Disc, or UMD. Each UMD can hold 1.8 GB of data, enough room for rich and complex games. UMDs, which are housed in a protective cover, slide into the rear of the PSP. Sony has declared the UMD an open format for developers and media content owners, so movies, music and other media are on the horizon from third parties. Sony has also signed on many popular game developers for the platform, so a deep library of PSP game titles are on tap.

While the UMD is great for read-only media such as games and movies, Sony solves the problem of data storage with the addition of a Memory Stick Duo slot. With Memory Stick Duo media, you can store your saved PSP games, downloaded online content, personal video and audio files, and more. When you want access to these files from your PC, simply use the PSP's USB 2.0 port to turn the device into a fast portable media drive. Then, drag and drop files such as your photos, MP3s, and videos onto the Playstation Portable, just as you would any other removable storage device. The Sony PSP ships with a 32 MB Memory Stick Duo, and additional media with higher storage capacities are available.

Major media: Sony's PSP-compatible Universal Media Disc (UMD) can hold 1.8 GB of data.

Sony PSP Connectivity: The PSP blows away the competition in the connectivity department. Indeed, the PSP's ability to connect to the internet, and to other PSPs and USB-based peripherals, is a real advantage. At the top of the list is Wifi connectivity, or IEEE 801.11b. Use this wireless internet standard to connect to other gamers around the world for hot multiplayer action--all from your couch, or your local Wifi hotspot. As mentioned, the PSP's USB 2.0 port is great for PC connectivity, but it also opens the Playstation Portable up for a whole range of future peripherals. Sony has plans for the PSP in other ways, too; the unit's infrared port speaks of remote control capabilities in the near future.

PSP, A Digital Companion: If you haven't already guessed, Sony has positioned the Playstation Portable to be much more than a gaming device. Out of the box, the device is ready to serve as a portable video player and photo viewer. By using the new H.264 MPEG-4 video standard, Sony obviously has its eyes on making the PSP a robust video device with support for feature length movies and more. In addition, the PSP offers a great way to transport and share your photos in JPEG format. And let's not forget the music. Load up your favorite MP3-encoded songs onto a Memory Stick Duo and you've got a portable audio powerhouse. The device also supports Sony's ATRAC audio codec, so you can play songs acquired from Sony's Connect Online Music Store. Sony even ships a nifty pair of earbuds--complete with an inline remote control-- with the PSP.

What's included w/ the Playstation Portable Value Pack: PSP device, AC adapter, battery pack, 32 MB Memory Stick Duo, earbud headphones with remote control, soft case and hand strap.
