## Key points

- The article champions the PSP as a portable physical-media device.
- It values ownership through UMD discs.
- This is an opinion piece, not product news.

## Summary

GamesRadar argues that Sony’s PlayStation Portable remains an especially strong everyday-carry device for physical media in 2026. The opinion piece matters chiefly as a defence of older dedicated hardware at a time when digital storefront access and media ownership can be uncertain.

Its case rests on the PSP’s compact size, its use of physical UMD discs and its wider usefulness as a portable games and media player. Rather than announcing a new product or policy, the article presents a personal argument for preserving and using a retro console.
