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.

    Don't worry until next year's holiday. It's not supposed to come out until late 2004.

    Using the screen as a guide (4.5"), the actual system comes out to about 6" by 3" if my 20 second measurements are of any use.

    It will support MP3, AAC and Sony's own ATRAC3 sound formats.

    Anyone notice the lack of WMA support? Obviously Sony is out to compete hard against Microsoft (who recently dropped to #3 in the console wars. Sony's still #1). And with the PS3 slated to include Linux support, maybe the PSP will be hackable too.
