Title: Sony's new handheld
Post by: James on 12 May, 2004, 04:50:28 AM
For all those gamers out there who give a shiv, E3 is almost upon us. Coverage that ii'm following so far has revealed pics of the PSP, Sony's answer to Nintendo's GameBoy. It's looking good.

Hmm, looks like it's got 1 digital pad too, that's going to make converting some of today's games a tad difficult...

Any word on the battery life though? Color backlit screen + disc drive is going to eat batteries for breakfast...

yeah, I can play all those wonderfull looking PSone games on the go now, how wonderfull wonder if it'll get as good a version of tomb Raider as the Ngage did ;)
Any Idea how much this will be, with all the features Sony are promising I bet it doesn't come in at less than US$299. Oh goody I can watch Sony Published movies on it too(not normal DVDs though, these ones will probably cost about double the price of a DVD), hmmm listen to Sony published MP3's as well....
I hope it croakes, long live the DS...a new gaming experience.
//sarcasm on Sorry Sony already have that don't they, doesn't the PS2 take everyone to The 3rd place //sarcasm off

Hooray, someone else who doesn't think the sunshine out of Sony's arse.

I still haven't forgiven them for killing off the Dreamcast by lying about the PS2 specs.

And it's a shit console to program.

But Eye-toy's good fun though!

Battery life is supposed to be 8 hours playback. It won't play MP3's - like all Sony stuff it'll be DRM'd up the wazoo and only playback ATRAC. There will be movies etc available on their UMD format and it'll be interesting to see if someone hacks it to allow movie playback via the memory stick. Can't see it being cheap though - lot of kit in there.
