PlayStation®Portable (PSP™), three-dimensional-CG games incorporating high-quality, full-motion video similar to PlayStation®2 can be played anytime, anywhere with PSP. PSP is scheduled to be launched in Japan in the end of 2004, followed by the North American and European launches in the spring of 2005.


PSP comes in a black color, with a 16:9 widescreen TFT LCD centered in a sleek ergonomic design with a high-quality finish that fits comfortably in the hands. The dimensions are 170mm x 74mm x 23mm with a weight of 260g. PSP features a high-quality TFT LCD that displays full color (16.77 million colors) on a 480 x 272 pixel high-resolution screen. It also comes complete with the basic functions of a portable player such as built-in stereo speakers, exterior headphone connector, brightness control and sound mode selection. Keys and controls inherit the same operability of PlayStation® and PlayStation 2, familiar to fans all over the world.


PSP also comes equipped with diverse input/output connectors such as USB 2.0, and 802.11b (Wi-Fi) wireless LAN, providing connectivity to various devices in the home and to the wireless network outside. The world of gaming is further enhanced by enabling users to enjoy online gaming, or by connecting multiple PSPs to each other, directly via the wireless network. In addition, software and data can be downloaded through a USB or wireless network onto Memory Stick™ PRO Duo. All of these features can be enjoyed on one single system.


PSP adopts a small but high-capacity optical medium UMD™ (Universal Media Disc), enabling game software, rich with full-motion video and other forms of digital entertainment content, to be stored. The newly developed UMD, the next-generation compact storage media, is only 60mm in diameter but can store up to 1.8GB of digital data. A broad range of digital entertainment content such as music video clips, movies and sports programs can be provided on UMD. To protect this entertainment content, a robust copyright protection system has been developed which utilizes a combination of a unique disc ID, a 128 bit AES encryption keys for the media, and individual ID for each PSP hardware unit.


SCEI intends to aggressively promote PSP and UMD as the new handheld entertainment platform for the coming era.

    The iPod of games and movies

    By Neil  Mar 27, 2005 | 236 out of 278 found this Sony PSP Value Pack review helpful

    Pros: Awesome screen, powerful game hardware, play movies/music

    Cons: expensive

    The PSP's screen has to be seen to be believed. Watching movies and playing games on it makes you forget you're looking at a handheld. The PSP is essentially a portable PS2, in terms of processing power. It is the most powerful handheld gami...ng system out, far outstripping Nintendo's offerings. It plays UMD format movies, and you can also copy MPEG-4 encoded movies, as well as MP3 and ATRAC3 audio, to the memory stick and play them on your PSP. The battery life can be a little short for some people, but the few who need to be ableto use it for more than 4-6 hours at a time can buy accessories that give the PSP 2-3X more battery life. At the moment, the game selection is not as large as that of other handheld and console systems, but it is very large for a system that has just launched. Read more Less

    Pros: Games have awsome graphics. Movies are excellent, The pics and music nice addition.

    Cons: Battery life. and Directional Controls, Not enought games out.

    This is well worth the wait!!! They could of made a little better directional control... After a couple of hours playing you can't move yout left thumb.. But it's worth the pain.. And it cheaper the that pod thing, and you can put pictures on... it. As long as you get a bigger memory.. It's a must have for going on a Deployment. Send one to a troop. Read more Less
