Item was ordered as a Christmas present to for my grandson who lives in New Jersey. When I ordered it, I was told it would likely arrive a little late for Christmas. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived in time to for me to mail it and have it be there at least a week before Christmas. My grandson was delighted with the PSP and I was very pleased with the service received from Amazon. I will definitely recommend Amazon to others and plan to use this service for future purchases.

Getting this game pack is worth the money. I’ve never played rock band before, and now I can see why it’s so addicting. The pack doesn’t include a USB cord or earphones, so you would need to buy it separately. But overall, I would DEFINITELY recommend this product.

Having played both the Nintendo DS and the PSP, I can say I enjoy the PSP much more. I purchased this particular bundle from Amazon and I haven't put it down since. The Rock Band Unplugged game is simple, yet fun. It's great for when you need a little mindless entertainment.

Graphics are top notch. I haven't seen any of the "ghosting" that others have spoken of and I have been playing some graphically intense games.

The controls are easy to use. If you've played any playstation game in the past 10 years, you'll have no problem adapting to this game.

Now for the drawbacks. Setting this thing up so I could download the free School of Rock was a MAJOR pain. I had to go out an purchase a mini USB cable because a regular USB won't work on this. Then I plugged it in and went to download the movie but it said I needed to update my system, but you have to download the file to the PSP by creating a file within a file. If it sounds complicated, that's because it is. Updating is very user unfriendly but once you get it done the first time, it'll get easier. The set up process took me about an hour.

So I downloaded the movie and it took me about 5 hours. Seriously. It was a little ridiculous and it has to be either the PSP or Sony's servers because I'm on a fast DSL connection. I haven't been able to use the wireless connection but I expect it will be similar, or possibly even worse.

Next, the headphone plug is in an awkward place. It's right on the bottom, meaning you can't hold the game at a natural angle when you're using headphones. It's not a major issue but it there are better places to put it.

My final opinion is that the PSP is well worth it. It's much better than the DS. One word of caution, though. If you're buying this for a clumsy kid, you might want to invest in an extended warranty. The back is molded plastic so the part where you put the UMDs is a bit fragile and probably wouldn't survive being dropped. other than that, I completely recommend it! Rating: 5 / 5

This is the best bundle you can find. The new PSP 3000 works fine.

I only had a problem with the movie. I tried to redeem the PlaystationStore Movie Voucher that you receive with the PSP, for "School of Rock". I followed the instructions, inside the Playstation Store I selected the "Redeem Codes" option and typed in the number I got.

The first time I entered the code I got a message saying it was ready to download; but the download process failed.
Then I tried to download again by reentering the movie voucher code.

I got an error message saying:
"The code you entered may not be correct or may no longer be valid. Please check your entries".

I sent many e-mails to SONY Support [...]. I explained the problem and provided them the details of my PSN account.
They did not help me, I could not download the movie. Poor service, very slow.

I love my system! I watch movies on it, listen to music, and play games daily. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 and above all are so cool to play. Also, I played the heck out of Jet Moto 2, downloaded from PS Store, and GTA Liberty City Stories. The pack came with a 4gb memory card which got me off to a great start being able to load alot of music, games, and movies. I really didnt want the game but this is one of the most popular games so I sold it to Gamestop for $18, which made the system w/4gb memory and movie cost $172. I love this toy, it’s what we all wanted when the first Gameboy came out and finally the dream has arrived.
