Sony CTO Reassures PSP Fans

Posted by Zonk on from the i-assure-you-i-am-not-kidding dept.

Thanks to GamesIndustry.biz for its article regarding new PSP news, including statements by Sony CTO Masa Chatani that "our plan to sell the PSP within the year is secure". He also revealed some new features of the PSP, such as a "home page" type screen, while being quite quiet on the battery issue. Commentators still seem to find it unlikely that the PSP will be out before 2005.

  1. Battery life and homepage by Lord_Dweomer · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Am I the only one who gets really sick of turning on my PS2 with a game in it and I have to go through the whole damn PS2 menu just to play the game?

    Some games just go right to the game when this disc is in and the unit is on, but many don't.

    Frankly, with the PSP, if battery life is an issue, and I can't see why it wouldn't be, I don't want to waste time/battery life going to a damn homepage. I want to play a game. This isn't a handheld computer, this is a portable gaming device, don't add steps that make me wait longer to play the damn game.

  2. Screw battery life... by Paladin128 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm much more worried about the speculated $350 price tag. That's one great way to keep it out of my pocket.
