Stumbled across this PSP stand at Radioshack tonight. It's only $9.95 so I figured I had to try it out...Design is pretty good and the holder actually tillts forward/backwards for good viewing angle. It does have a built in amplifier but I found either the speaker is crap and cann't handle it or the amplifier is just too dirty because at more then half volume it distorts something fierce.
There is a headphone jack in the back, so I ended up plugging my Creative 2-piece speakers into it and they sound 100x better compared to the built in speaker. There is a switch to disable the illumination wich is a must...those blue LEDs are BRIGHT!!! I'd give this unit an 8 out of 10 due to the poor sound quality of the speakers. If the unit didn't come with a headphone jack, it would have been given worse.
This is a pretty decent unit and for $9.95 it's a pretty good bargain compared to the other competition. Check it out on RadioShack's website at http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2255014&cp=&pg=1&y=7&origkw=PSP&x=15&kw=psp&s=A-StorePrice-RSK&parentPage=search
