If you thought portable game systems were just for kids, the PlayStation Portable (PSP) will change your mind. This slick black wonder, about the size of an eyeglasses case, has a gorgeous widescreen display, which is great not only for games—including holiday titles like SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals and NeoPets—but movies too. Some 300 films are available for the Universal Media Disc format. Built-in wi-fi makes multiplayer gaming a breeze. What's more, the PSP (which accepts 1-GB Memory Sticks) can double as a Web browser, photo album, music player and e-mail device.
