First Sony PSP Pictures Revealed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the and-it-fits-in-the-palm-of-your-hand dept.

iamhassi writes "Pictures of the PSP concept design have shown up on The Register. I'm impressed: when I first heard the screen was 4.5" I was afraid the device would be unusually large compared to the GBA with its 2.9" screen. Obviously those worries were unfounded." Update: 11/06 15:28 GMT by S : A section-specific post from yesterday provided the concept pictures from a different source.

  1. DAMN YOU SONY! by Lord_Dweomer · · Score: 4, Funny
    DAMMMIT! I had finally organized my holiday wishlist, arranged it JUST RIGHT so that I had good odds of getting everything I wanted.

    Now they throw this into the picture and fuck everything up. Thanks a lot Sony. Bastards.

    P.S.
    Don't worry, you'll still probably be getting my parents money.

    remember how the original walkmen stored the music inside the unit itself instead of on cassette tapes?

    oh wait me neither because that never happened

  6. Dolby 7.1 by Gyorg_Lavode · · Score: 5, Funny

    Seriously, why in the world do you need dolby 7.1 on a hand held device. I'd be happy with stereo. Hell, I can't get over dolby pro logic in my home theater. What am I going to do? Wear a halo thats got 7 speakers w/ a sub strapped to my ass?

    Looks fine to me. Only an inch of finger space didn't the the Gameboys sales any harm. What do you have at the end of your arms , a bunch of sausages?

  8. News Alert: Large TV == Bad, Small TV == Good by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'll be first in line to sell my 50" widescreen TV to pick up one of these new devices. Why have a large in house home theatre, when you call actually leave your confines and watch TV _outside_ instead? I'm there. I'm sick of watching TV in my dull surroundings. And the damn screen takes up too much room.

    2 hours of DVD quality video at less than DVD resolution. Sweet. I'm there.

    We just need to slap a camera on this so that I can do videoconferencing so that I never have to interact with another person while I'm outside watching TV again.
