Sony To Release PSP Handheld Console In 2004

JayBonci writes "According to News.com, in a news conference before this year's E3, Sony announced its plans to release a new gaming handheld called PSP, slated for release late next year. Presumably, this would be to compete against Nintendo's Gameboy Advance, a clear winner in the handhelds department for years now. The games come on a new media format, half the size of a CD or DVD, holding 1.8 gigs. Other Gameboy competitors such as the Neo-Geo Pocket Color have suffered from small game libraries and the inability to get over the GBC/GBA's entrenched marketshare. Despite all of this, Sony isn't SNK, and obviously has a lot of muscle to push its way to where it wants to be. It will be an interesting fight."

[caino59]

play station pocket, play station palm, play sation portable, play station punani?

i think this is some sort of joint venture between sony and best buy.

Scenario:
*customer walks into local best buy*
BB Sales Ass.: "Hi, how may I help you today?
Customer: "Uh..yea, I'd like that new Sony PSP."
*BB Sales Ass. hands customer swanky new gadget*
BB Sales Ass.: "OK, here you go!"
*customer walks to cashier*
BB Cashier: "So, would you like a PSP?"
*customer just assumes she's some dumb blonde*
*customer nods head*
Customer, speaking slowly: "Yeeessss."
*cashier gives him a Performance Service Plan (PSP)*

note: Avg Best Buy Customer would not notice what they are paying for. Most Best Buy managers encourage this sort of rape. And yes, I know the customer should notice what would probably be around a $20 dollar fee. Seriously, most wouldn't.
