Sony's PSP Handheld Storage Media Pictured

Posted by simoniker on from the tiny-wee-discy dept.

Thanks to Evil Avatar for pointing to an article on the new PSP Insider website that has the first pictures of the UMD disc format. The Universal Media Disc, or UMD for short, is the game storage medium that Sony's handheld, the PSP will use when it launches in late 2004, and is a 2.4 inch disc that can store up to 1.8gb of data.

    This is one of those comments for which determining the right level of sarcasm and spite is difficult.

    For example, I could say:

    Yeah, and you know what else would be cool? If my car got 12,000 miles to the gallon and was made entirely of water!

    But I don't think that works in this situation.

    Instead, I'll take the serious route:

    That would cost a fortune, be obnoxiously large for a handheld, consume more power than a Game Gear, and cost several hundred dollars. At best, you might see N64-level graphics in the next Game Boy.
