E3: Sony hand-held bombshell
The PSP unveiled
Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE to you and me), has dropped something of a bombshell today with the announcement of a Sony hand-held device - a rival for Nintendo's GameBoy Advance. The all-in-one portable entertainment platform, titled the 'PSP' will be out come the end of 2004. Here's the word on this new gizmo straight from the horses mouth:

The foundation of this new platform is Universal Media Disc (UMD), which comprises of a 60mm optical disc (1.8 GB) in a cartridge, developed by the Sony Group, utilizing its latest disc technologies. Compared to the out-dated mask ROM cartridge, optical disc has huge advantages such as shorter turn around time for manufacturing, larger data capacity and lower media costs. The latest copy-protection technology will be applied to offer content developers and publisher a safe and copy-protected environment. PSP will be equipped with a wide screen 480 x 272 pixel (16 by 9) TFT LCD monitor with a backlight, and powered by super chipsets utilizing the latest 90 nm semiconductor technology. For graphics, 3D rendering will be enhanced by the employment of curved surfaces (NURBS) along with conventional polygons. Video quality will also be enhanced with MPEG4, which delivers quality equivalent to DVD video at a low data rate. PSP will have an USB 2.0 port for further expandability and connectivity to other devices, such as PSP, PlayStation 2 and many other systems, along with a Memory Stick slot for network applications and data transportability in a wireless environment. SCEI will offer PC-based development tools starting from fall 2003 for the preparation of a new range of computer entertainment content. A new license scheme for PSP software development will be announced in summer 2003. Pursuing the founding principles of the PlayStation business, Sony Computer Entertainment will expand its efforts to support content developers to create new forms of computer entertainment. Together with its business partners, SCEI aims to aggressively promote this new platform to further broaden the arena of entertainment."Just as PlayStation and PlayStation 2 revolutionized in-home computer entertainment, we aim to become a new driving force in the portable entertainment platform arena," enthused Sony CEO Ken Kutaragi. "The world of PlayStation encompasses hundreds of millions of users worldwide, most of whom view computer entertainment as part of their everyday lives. We look forward to extending the experience through a portable entertainment platform, and are excited about the possibilities and impact 'PSP' will have on the market. Along with game applications, 'PSP' will have a huge potential for delivering other forms of entertainment as well as live entertainment through the network, anywhere, anytime. This is the 'Walkman' of the 21st century." More news on this huge and rather exciting new product as we get it.

Hope Sony builds the handheld better than the PS2 (junk)...
sony owns everthing ther great
Morons
hey man, i'm with Player 1. How can you say PS2 has done nothing? Then what has?
It is foolish to believe that ps2 revolutionized the market. Consoles have to get faster, other wise there wouldn't be any point in new ones. The ps2 was only an improvement of regular consoles. I don't mean to insult it, but it is the truth. Xbox on the other hand, first console to use hard drives, updates for games, a full fledged acual working onine network of gaming, and total connectivity between consoles for system link play. That's revolutionizing, not improving graphics. P.S. No, for the second time I'm not an xbox fan boy, I like ps2 as well, it just takes simple logic to know this.
you are idots pete and anry.how did they messe up and ill debt with you so i can tell you how much i despise that gba and the gamecube
don't worry we won't get this until sept 2005,
Sony has made great strides in the industry but we'll still have to wait 6 months post Japan to see anything. That really pi**es me off.
BTW the X-box isn't the greatest but thier graphics and animation are light years ahead of PS2
im with brian
Make the best console! :-p
what is up with you guys! cant you have a decent debate with out swearing at each other and resorting to childish comments!
when sony finally release the psp (and havn't we been waiting a long time!) it will and can only be judged then. i hope its what we want it to be, im hoping it will be more grown-up like the GBA-SP is trying to be. so lets just wait!
HOW MUCH WILL PSP COST AND WHAT DAY WILL IT BE OUT
i own an x-box, playstation 2, gamecube, pc and a gba sp. and im looking forward to the psp. in my experience i think the gamecube is the best.....
i just hope sony call the next console something else than the ps3 or other wise we will be having other playstation like ps14 and thats just stupid. nintendo have changed there names as the console have matured and the next x-box is not going to be called x-box 2 its going to have a different name so please sony called it something else thanx
right on chris
Sony will shoot themselves in the foot with a 199-249$ range. And I agree I had and X-Box for less than 6 months and the memory in it fried and the *******'s wanted 100$ to fix it. I'll never by any console from Microcrap agin. I have 3 sega CD's and there all over 10yrs old and they work perfectly!
Pete, I'll pretend you didn't say that
can i have a picher
Interesting.... i am glad to have heard about the PSP's great capabilities and the fact that its UMD catridge can house up to 1.8gb of data. The only question is, are there going to be new games coming out on it and can we play our old PS1 games on it? I will be disappointed if i have to buy MGS again for the PSP.
Bungie and everyone behind Halo 2 need to make up their mind about the release date.
i myself am really lookin forward to this. instead of spending most of my life playing games now i can spend alllllllllllllll lol. i could just imagine being able to take Final Fantasy (if they make one) on the road or anywhere i go. i do hope they create a battery that will be able to last a long time for what gamers will be using it for.
I think that the psp will make a big inpact on the gameing earar to all people
all I know is that im going to get it when it comes out
Will the so called "PSP" really be a true rival for the Nintendo DS.
i want it so much can i please get it
price between $100 & $200 dollars
price between $100 & $200 dollars
price between $100 & $200 dollars
haha i have it and a web browser in it!
psp's have been out for like a decade now and it kicks the ds's pants on any level, look, versitility, design, sexyness and the like
I browse and saw you website and I found it very interesting.Thank you for the good work, greetingsM
