Pros: Sleek little movie dock! Looks great sitting on top of my TV. Not having to mess with cables all the time to watch my PSP videos on my TV is exactly what I wanted. And unlike some other charging docks I've used before, this one actually seems to support the back of the PSP and not just hold it up by the ports. All the buttons on the front are accessible while docked as well. The remote seems to have decent range too.
Cons: As others have mentioned, taking the PSP off of the dock can be a little tricky. It works best to lift on both sides, NOT just grab it in the middle.
I had a bit of a problem getting the PSP to recognize that an "AV Cable" was connected at first. it wouldn't change to external display until I had docked it on the stand, then cycled power on the stand. After that it works fine, but I have to do that every time I dock it. :(
There is a bit of a buzz in the audio-out signals. It's not really noticeable at normal volume, but when it's quiet, it's kind of annoying.
The remote (or probably receiver) seems to be very directional. While the range is good, it doesn't work from very large angles well.
Other Thoughts: Would've been nice if the remote had a little hole in it for attaching a strap or lanyard to. I have a feeling I'm gonna lose the thing since it's so small. I have a hard enough time keeping track of full-sized remotes!
Bottomline: I was hoping for a little better quality, but this does the job well enough.
Pretty good.

Pros: - Nice price.
- Pretty solid build.
- wireless remote control with a good range.
- can be used as a charging dock.
- works as advertised.
Cons: - The PSP speakers are muted when docked.
- You cannot use it as a normal media dock when it is not connected to a TV
- Lack of earphone jack makes it worse.
- It requires the charger to be plugged in for the sound to work.
- You risk damaging your ports if you're not careful!
Other Thoughts: Yes, my PSP always came out slanted until I figured how to remove it properly:
First, use both of your hands to hold down the cradle. Next, use your thumbs to push up your PSP slowly, it will comes out eventually.
Bottomline: Worth the price, just be careful when you're removing your PSP from the cradle.
Could be better if the earphone plug could be disabled when you're not using it with a TV.

Pros: Not much good to say, i mostly use mine as a PSP charging dock now.
Cons: This is very flimsy, i can't play psp games on my tv with it, i think it messed up the AC charging port on my psp. (it seems to be bent now) It's not a completely terrible product, there are just better buys.

Other Thoughts: i probably should have read other epople's reviews first.
Bottomline: Don't buy it. It's not really worth it.
Nice PSP 2000 TV dock, however...

Pros: Nice price, nice design, good quality remote, S-Video out, works ad advertised.
Cons: Like most SLIM PSP 2000 accessories/add-ons right now, it does NOT take the larger "stamina" battery cover into account. You will NOT be able to fit the SLIM PSP 2000 onto the dock with the larger "stamina" battery/battery cover is attached.
Other Thoughts: I wish it accomodated the larger battery ... I really won't be using this if I have to swap out for the smaller battery/battery cover.
Bottomline: A great item and a great price for SLIM PSP 2000 users who don't have the larger battery. Also, contrary to other reviews, if you grip the PSP in the center and grip the dock in the center and pull straight up when removing it, you won't risk damaging the audio or charge sections of the PSP.
