Ok, here is a couple of ideas. They are unorthodox, but they will work and you may find more for your money than you think.

Have you thought about a small cheap stand to hold the psp upright. Or do you own one? If the answer is yes, then you're halfway home now. Most of the speaker configurations for the psp ipod.... whatever have 2 things in common. 1. They gouge you in the ass price wise because they are proprietary items. Only Sony (or whomever) makes the psp so you think you have to buy their speakers and memory... 2. All the speaker designs suck. Period. Granted, the suckage is on several layers, but you can put 48 layers of high gloss lacquer on a dollop of fido fesses, but no amount of polishing it is going to keep it from being the piece of shit it really is.

So here is my solution. Get a cheap stand so the unit can sit with relative use and reach. Then get a good pair of computer speakers. 2.1s are the better option. For <$50 you can get a pretty good sound system for starters. No it won't reproduce the sound pressure of an explosion, but it will sound a damn sight better than those eureka p.o.s.s that they are trying to get you to buy. Not to mention that speaker connectors are the same as the headset for the psp.

Think it over and let me know what you think...
