Specs for Sony PSP Handheld

Posted by michael on from the 802.11-sweetness dept.

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."

  1. Sony is trying to own your house.....somewhat. by zeroroach · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I do not like this. Sony is vestibly going to attempt to own the videogames industry, and possibly turn it into the monopoly that Atari (and then Nintendo) had in the 1980's. That's not a good thing. Sony had a bit of justifiable reason to releasing the Playstation and using the early marketing tactics that it did (Nintendo literally backstabbed them when creating their vaporware CD addon, choosing Phillips over Sony while the system was well into development.). But they do not have a reason to overtake Nintendo. Gunpei Yokoi's death should not be more vain than it was.
