PlayStation Portable from SONY

The PlayStation Portable (PSP) is a handheld game console and a product of Sony Computer Entertainment Japan. It is Sony's third installment in its successful PlayStation line of video game consoles and their first handheld system. The PSP was first announced during E³ 2003 and was unveiled on May 11, 2004 at a Sony press conference during E³ 2004. First released in Japan, its official retail release date was December 12, 2004. It was released in North America on March 24, 2005. It will be released in Europe and Australia on September 1, 2005

Sony had delayed the European launch (originally set for March) to meet demand from other regions. The PSP launched in South Korea on May 2, 2005 and was followed by a joint launch in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan on May 12, 2005. sony psp 377 356 sony psp pics 15 14 psp sony 10 9 sony psp pictures 10 9 current information on the sony psp 4 4 psp sony fotos 4 4 sony psp news 4 4 psp entertainment system sony 3 3 psp pictures sony 2 2 psp sony photos 2 2 sony playstation psp 2 2 sony psp picture 2 2 sony psp prototype pictures 2 2 sony psp screen shots 2 2 sony psp site 2 2

The PSP can play video games, video content, and digital audio, as well as display digital photos. Instead of being distributed on traditional ROM cartridges with battery-backed RAM for saves, games and other content are sold on Sony's new 1.8 GB Universal Media Discs (UMDs). The Memory Stick Duo (regular or Pro, but the high-speed mode of high-speed Sticks isn't supported) is used for storing saved games and moving multimedia to the PSP from other devices. Other notable features of the PSP include WiFi wireless networking support, a rechargeable and removable battery, 4.3 inch (109 mm) TFT LCD 480x272 pixel flat screen, and a sliding flat panel analog stick. According to claims made by Sony at E3 2005, the PSP may be able to connect to the PlayStation 3, using its WiFi connection, to be used as a "video enabled game controller," similar to the connectivity feature of the Game Boy Advance and GameCube.
