Sony unveils PlayStation PortableKetola @ May 12, 2004 18:12 | 7 comments
The device has a 4.3" 16:9 display with a resolution of 480x272 and 32bit colors. The controls are PlayStation standard -- a four-way directional pad, four action buttons (square, triangle, x and circle), two trigger buttons and a thumb pad.
PSP uses small but high-capacity UMD (Universal Media Disc) optical disc to store games, music and other data. The disc, while only 60mm in diameter, can store up to 1.8GB of data. The device also includes an USB 2.0 interface, 802.11b wireless LAN, built-in stereo speakers, and a headphone connector.
Definitely an interesting product in every aspect. PSP will be available in Japan later this year, and in Europe and the US during Spring 2005. The price of the unit was not yet announced.

Also it depends on how much the games cost... I hope its cost between $20 to $30 or less then that

Comment by: rjamorim (May 13, 2004 12:21) They forgot to mention it'll support MPEG4 AVC (H264) and (HE-?)AAC. High quality video and audio at smallest space. 8-) |

Comment by: Ghostdog (May 14, 2004 17:53) Kick ass... I wasnīt really expecting this yet. Not that I play games when on the move, I donīt even play snake all that much. But still, looks to be a very interesting product. Couple that up with Sony-quality (but hopefully not their usual pricing) and this one could easily be a winner.
Being finnish I feel a bit sad for Nokia however. We can forget about the N-gage now. |
