Sony PSP Headset with Remote Control review

Reviews While Sony had released the PSP Headset, it did not work with Skype unless you also had the original remote control. Thankfully, the £20 PSP Headset with Remote Control bundles the necessary accessories together in one package.

Nintendo Wii review

Reviews And while the PS3 and the Xbox 360 both use conventional gamepads bristling with buttons, control sticks and directional pads, the Wii uses a device that looks more like a TV remote than a gamepad to control its games.
