The Weird PSP Accessories Collection

Since the PSP was released we have seen some really strange and crappy (at least in my opinion) accessories for the PSP, heres a few that really amuse:

UMD Cleaning System

The UMD Cleaning system is a simple and easy way to keep your valuable UMD's clean. Included is the Cleaning case itself, along with a shammy and cleaning solution.

I brought this and well it was so fiddly to use that it ranks as one of the most useless accessories, there is a motorized version which is 10 times better

TV Adapter Kit (PSP2TV)

The TV Adapter for PSP (PSP2TV) lets you hook up your PSP to your home television via Composite or S-Video and Stereo connectors. It also lets you connect and use a PS2 controller on your PSP. The installation requires you to open and modify your PSP console, you need to replace the front face plate with the one included. This device is recommended anyone who wants to play their favorite PSP title on the big screen.

Heres another accessory thats both good and very bad, unless you are a pro you will not even try to install this in your PSP and stuff up your guarentee, the installation isnt easy either, wait for an official Sony TV Adapter i say.

Hmm what on earth do you need a water proof case for, i wouldnt take my PSP anywhere near water, another vote for a daft accessory.

Compact Flash Adapter (Neo2in1)

This adaptor allows using Compact Flash Cards on your Sony PSP. This effectively increases the capacity of the storage and reduces the cost for the memories. Memory Sticks, including the older and larger version, are also supported.

From SuccessHK

Another accessory thats both good and bad, yes its nice to be able to use Compact Flash Cards on the PSP but the design where you basically stick it to the back of the PSP is weird indeed.

PSP Bank with 40GB HDD

This PSP bank with 40G is a massive device for your PSP console. It could let you store lots of movies, songs and other files on it and play them with your PSP. It also supports connecting with other USB storage devices for data transfer. There is a LCD on the PSP bank to show file information and several buttons for easy file access.

From SuccessHK

40GB of space is great for the PSP but you still need a mem card on the PSP for which this can transfer files to, another weird one

PSP Go Max

Go Max™ is the perfect power solution. - Re-Useable, Just add new batteries when needed No Charger?..No Problem!. - Operates on 3 x AAA alkaline batteries

From Divineo UK

Even with the best batteries your only going to get an hours worth of play with this and batteries unless rechargeable arent cheap.

Cooling Fan for PSP

A cooling fan for PSP to increase your PSP lifetime (mainly the laser life time).

From Divineo China

This has to be the king of the weird accessorys for the PSP, for one it doesnt appear to work and its going to drain your battery a treat.

Ok thats my collection of the weird and useless on the PSP, do you agree or disagree or is there other accessorys you can think of, let me know.

Re the PSP Bank with 40GB HDD - I have something like it, and I think for me it works well.

Im on the train to London a fair bit, and I also stop over in hotels when on training courses and the like.

It saves me lugging a Laptop to transfer music, films games etc to the psp, and the added bonus when Im on Hols I can transfer my pictures from my camera to the HD!

a psp fan whats that for in my opinian that would rank the most pointless psp product

I love the cooling fan, it's totally changed my portable gaming experiences for the better.

Lol to the above post.
A UMD cleaner? How could you possibly get your UMD's dirty enough to where you have to use some tricky little device? Like Wraggster said, if you need to clean your UMD for whatever reason. I would get the motorized one. Also, I have never felt much of any heat coming from my PSP that would be some what damaging. I guess maybe some people play for extended periods and well, get there PSP overheated. Still, I doubt there is enough heat to damage anything. Am I wrong?

yea, these are pretty crappy releases.
