The market of PSP accessories can be a confusing one. We've compiled a list of accessories that will hit the market at or near the release of the PSP to help you make an informed consumer decision.

Thursday, March 24 marks the initial release of the PSP in America. At launch, a large variety of games and accessories will be available for the consumer. Many top third-party accessory companies created large assortments of cases, screen protectors, speakers, earphones, car chargers, and accessory packs. To help sort through the barrage of products, we've compiled a list of the top accessories available for the PSP.

Cases

A number of hard and soft cases will be available for the PSP. Besides protecting your PSP from the elements, certain cases have the ability to hold your accessories and provide special features, like extending battery life. At the same time, some cases add an aesthetic element to your collection. So in the vernacular: You'll look cool.

Nyko PSP Charger Case

The Nyko PSP Charger case acts as a small hard case, combining a hard aluminum outside shell with an internal holder. The case also acts as a portable battery, allowing you to extend the life of your PSP's battery by 200 to 300 percent. With the PSP's large high-resolution screen, battery life will most assuredly be a concern. The protection of a small hard case, combined with the battery life feature, makes the Nyko PSP Charger one of the best PSP accessories available. This item will be available upon initial release of the unit.


Other case accessories include:

Screen Protectors

The PSP has a pretty screen. So if we follow Murphy's Law, it's bound to get scuffed up within 10 minutes of purchase, thus making it unpretty. In fact, almost every unit Sony had on display at CES featured some sort of scratch or blemish. To protect your precious screen, check out the assortment of screen guards and screen protectors.

PSP Pelican Face Armor & Disk Jacket

The Pelican PSP Face Armor & Disk Jacket pack is a must-have at under $10. It features a flip-top screen guard that not only guards the display during travel, but also flips up to act as a built-in glare protector as well. It comes in the same black glassine finish as the PSP and comes with a polish cloth as a bonus.
