    The PSP was legitimately perfect. It did everything you could possibly want and it did it well. The controls felt good, the screen was crazy good at the time, the gloss black with clear buttons, the start up animation and home screen was so clean. I kept my PSP for years even after it was no longer relevant. I couldn't get rid of it even though I hadn't played it in years because it had so many good memories.

      It's a peek into the best and most developed technology from a specific company. He does an amazing job of delivering that story. He's got a great format and has developed it to almost an annoying point (I don't care for the longer form content myself) but he is recording an example of the history of this product line. I trust what he says to a point but remember, this is his research and opinions. Most of my research and opinions often line up with his, but I don't like some of the technology he leaves out in the devices sometimes, that's me being picky though.
      Besides all that, the history of consumer electronics is a crazy battle between many great minds and greedy fingers. This is, indeed, going to be a new category of videos. 'history of tech' already exists, but the story beyond even what Arun provides, is incredible at almost every corner.

    To this day itself and the UI look sleek and modern - it's just damn crazy.
    I gotta say - I just LOVE the PSP - it's a legend!
    EDIT: also had the PsVita - and to this day it hurts me how it was just let down by its game support.

    - Play PSVita, PSP, and PS1 games at a native level
    - Emulate other platforms like N64, SNES, Genesis, GBA, and more
    - Use the much cheaper MicroSD cards for storage (up to 1TB)
    - Games ported over to the system by the community (e.g. GTA SA, Bully, Dead Space mobile, and recently Hollow Knight)
    - A lot of homebrew apps, patches for games (e.g. higher res patch), apps allowing overclocking to get more performance out of the vita

I uploaded so many non PS games on that thing and discovered some absolute classics because of that

    When I was a kid I wanted a PSP so bad. I remember when it launched, and i was stunned. The thought of being able to play games like Jak and Daxter or Ratchet and Clank on the go was incredible. With my GBA SP, I really only played Mario and Pokemon. I just knew I would be able to play way more games. Sadly, I never got it. I had a buddy who had one, and it was great to be able to play his when I went over. I'd play it while waiting my turn for something like the DBZ Budokai games.

    The PSTV came bundled with a Dualshock 3 but did support the Dualshock 4, so that should answer your question about controllers. As to why it existed, Sony claimed it was to penetrate into the Chinese market and it did initially release in China and southeast Asia. The reason it made it to other markets was because firstly, it was significantly cheaper so it wasn't competing with the ps4 or ps vita and secondly because microconsoles and digital media players(not all TVs were "smart" at the time) were a big thing at the time, especially a combination of the two. Essentially it was meant to compete with the likes of Ouya, Fire tv, apple TV and Nvidea shield. Looking back it might not make much sense if you don't remember the microconsole fad and prominence of digital media players at the time.

      the other thing with the PSTV is that it works as a perfect companion to the PS4.
      The PS4 didnt have any proper way to play PS1 PSP or PSVita games. the PSTV could play PS1 games (which the PS3 could do but the PS4 cant) PSP games on your TV upscaled to 720P which was intresting cause with 2D sprite games they generally looked pretty solid played this way. Of course there is the limited selection of Vita games just on your TV in general. i remember one day sony had actually got rid of the white list restrictions (by mistake which they went back on) so a bunch of games that "weren't compatible" worked and i DLed a bunch of them.
      it also could remote play your PS4 which i guess if you didnt want to move your PS4 to another TV in your house it was a choice although personally i never really touched this...
