Sony Delays PSP To 2005

Posted by simoniker on from the xmas-present-list-redrafting-in-order dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNN Money's Game Over column is reporting that Sony has delayed the launch of the PSP handheld gaming system in the U.S. until it has a 'reasonable amount' of titles to launch with the system. This will push the PSP to 2005 in the States, giving Nintendo free reign in the holiday season - as well as a possible headstart for the Nintendo DS." Some earlier reports had indicated the PSP was due to launch worldwide in November 2004.

    ..does it run linux?

    No really, I've always been tempted to program games for these little fellas, so I'm curious whether dev-tools will be widely available or not. Wasn't the PS2 dev-tools linux based?

    It's one of those horrible cliches the karma-whores overuse. It's like the ubiquitous, unnecessary, and untrue little disclaimers I hate so much: "well, there goes my karma! ;)".

    Demonstration:

    Well, there goes my karma! ;)

    Overrated? Maybe.
    Bad joke? Maybe.
    Offtopic? Sigh. I wish there could be one authoritative group anywhere that you could count on intelligence from.
