Specs for Sony PSP Handheld
doctor_no writes "Sony has announced the specs for its upcoming handheld gaming device,
the PSP, at their PlayStation Meeting 2003. Most interesting is that this device promises Playstation 2 level graphics, a compact 1.8GB media, Wireless 802.11, USB 2.0, 7.1 channel Audio, and a
24bit 16x9 screen TFT LCD screen. Sony has called this device the 'Walkman for the 21st Century', and plans to allow the user to enjoy
movies and music for the device, along with games. Full specs can be found at ZDNet Japan. The PSP will debut at next year's E3."
a laptop.
It will require the user to lug around a car battery to run, and the 10,000 RPM disk drive will generate enough inertial warping fields such that turning a corner while walking will take major effort...
7.1 audio on a handheld? With headphones like that, you'll look like a cyborg.
No, it runs on magic pixy dust.
"Have you ever thought about just turning off the TV, sitting down with your kids, and hitting them?"
What's more, Pixie dust is cheap, soy-based, and biodegradable.

Nah, no speakers. A set of headphones and a backpack-mounted subwoofer. Also doubles as a back massager, which you'll need due to carrying around the backpack-mounted subwoofer.
Sony reference dictionary
PS2 Toy Story graphics
--> PS1 enhanced graphics
1.8GB media
--> in option (default: 16 Ko)
Wireless 802.11, USB 2.0
--> when connected to the handheld port replicator base (if the option has been bought)
7.1 channel Audio
--> When at home with a 7.1 Kit (the cables will be incompatible with other brands so you will have to buy the Sony 7.1 Handheld Kit®, um any1 has experienced it with Vaios for external devices ?).
--> or you can buy our new Roswell haedphone kit with subwoofer integrated.
24bit 16x9 screen TFT LCD screen
--> TFT screen with a maximum resolution of 640x400 but every game will use 320 x 200 (well Playstaion 2 level graphics ?)
Don't you know it is now both immoral and criminal to think beyond the next quarterly report?
Well after what they said about the Playstation 2 itself and its "Toy Story" graphics I would have to see it to believe it
Of course it has Toy Story graphics.
What they didn't tell you was that you had to have Toy Story on DVD to get said graphics....
Where does the school board find them and why do they keep sending them to ME?
there are FOUR lights!!
Sony produces great hardware
Tell that to every PSX owner who has to put their systems upside-down and then pray to get their game to work. Or the countless people (myself included) who's PS2s refuse to read any discs.
Yeah, their systems are great, until they stop working. I trust this company to make a quality portable system as much as I'd trust R Kelly with my 12 year old daughter.
