The TV Adapter for PSP lets you hook up your PSP to your home television (NTSC and PAL) via Composite and Stereo connectors. This adapter requires no modification of your PSP console.

Heres an excerpt from the review:

The Blaze TV adapter uses mirrors and a projector to get the picture onto your big screen, the adapter itself is quite light even though the actual size is a bit on the large side and it does make pressing the Home button and the other buttons at that level hard to press although you can live with it so, so far so good. The adaptor can be used on PAL and NTSC tvs so thats another bonus, underneath you also have a button to switch between Game and Movie although i didnt spot any differences by each setting. The adaptor has a great Focus dial so to get the best picture its essential plus a brightness dial on the side.

I would suggest waiting until firmware 3.0 comes out. I have a feeling (personal opinion BTW) from the screenshots I have seen that may or may not be hoaxes, 3.0 will allow you to stream video and audio from your PSP to your home entertainment system (go to http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=psp&message.id=1854070 to see what I'm talking about).

Again, I don't really know what's going on, but my suggestion is to wait until 3.0 to come out until you decide to purchase any television adapter.

A while back, Play-Asia was selling the Blaze adapter for $33.80 shipped, so I ordered one. It's okay, but only okay. For the price I paid, I'm satisfied. But I wouldn't pay $50 or $60 for it. Bright scenes are somewhat washed out, particularly when there's lens flare going on. But it did adjust to darker scenes better than I expected. Overall, the picture's a pretty grainy and not good for long term play. And I would never watch a movie using this. The audio isn't great either, with a constant hum/hiss.

Again, it works, and it's okay for short gaming sessions, but I'd rate it as average at best.

Right now, Lik-Sang is selling the PSPonTV (the one that looks like a pyramid) for $48 plus shipping. For $10 less than the Blaze, it seems like the better product. In fact, Maxconsole.net reviewed both and definitely favored the PSPonTV. Here are the links to their reviews.

Just wanted to print a correction to my post above. I actually ordered it from Success-HK for $33.80 including shipping, not Play-Asia. And that deal is still going on. So if you're interested in the Blaze, Success-HK has the best deal going.
