The PSP 3000 made further modifications to its predecessor. Its weight and dimensions are much the same, but expanded multimedia capabilities and improved video output make it ideal for future generations. Sony has seen a steady increase in demand for its handheld video game consoles, and as with many of its other products, it has made a place for itself in the world of portable gaming.The PSP console was the first to make use of the Universal Media Disc that Sony developed. Universal Media Discs can hold up to 1.8GB of data, allowing it to be a device for playing both video games and other video and audio media. This ultra small disc is ideal for road trips or to slip into your backpack for lunchtime gaming
