PSP best buy for Christmas says consumer advice group, PS3 lags behind
Been wondering what system to compliment your entertainment devices for this Christmas? Reevoo, a consumer advice portal, has a suggestion: Buy a PSP!
Been wondering what system to compliment your entertainment devices for this Christmas? Reevoo has some suggestions.
Reevoo is a consumer advice portal that collects and publishes reviews on various products written by “ordinary people” rather than traditional critics to prevent any kind of expert bias or ulterior motives. Their scope is rather broad, ranging from digicams to washing machines.
They recently released a guide to the current top picks in the videogame industry today. The system that won top marks? The PSP Slim and Lite.
Scoring a 9.5 out of 10, the little Sony handheld was lauded as easy to set up, not too big, has a bright screen and “looks cool.” On the other hand, it was criticized for having few extras out of the box and poor sound quality. Strangely, the PSP Slim & Lite also has the lest number of consumer reviews to its name on the site.
Among the consoles Xbox 360 Elite (9.0/10) led the way thanks in large part to Microsoft’s timely price cuts which made the overall price even more attractive than it was previously. The PS3 40GB finished last of its class (seventh overall – 8.7/10) again because of its cost versus value.
I’m suspect there are going to be a lot of readers crying foul on Reevoo’s assessment of gaming systems (I have a few objections myself). Before you start writing angry comments may I just point out that given that most everyone is still reeling from the state of the financial market, cost *is* a very real consideration (yes, even if you factor in the value of the system).
