Quote: | It’s been a long time coming, but Sony has finally confirmed those crucial details about the forthcoming PSP handheld. The first issue is: when can we get one? There has been much speculation as to when the PSP might be in shops, with many analysts predicted delays into next year, but Sony is sticking to its initial promise… and the PSP will be released in Japan on 12th December 2004. That’s official.
And the second big question on everyone’s lips – how much will it cost? In Japan, at least, it will retail for 20,790 Yen (approximately £105). Next to the loftier expectations some had predicted, this seems like a good value deal. Sony will also be releasing an extra value package; bundled with an AC adaptor, battery pack, 32 Mb Memory Stick Duo, remote control headphones, a soft case and a hand strap(not forgetting the console) for 26,040 – which works out a shade over £130.
There’s no official confirmation of PSP prices outside of Japan, but SPOnG believes that something around the £150 would be a sensible estimate over here in Blighty.
Sony has also addressed the crucial battery-life issue, which Nintendo was keen to suggest petered out after a couple of hours. Fortunately, that is not quite the case: according to the official press release the PSP has an “integrated high output lithium-ion battery that provides play time of between 4 and 6 hours for game titles and continuous 4 to 5 hours for video viewing.”
Interestingly, there’s still no concrete confirmation of what the launch line-up might be. Sony promises that there will be 21 games available in Japan before the end of the year, but which of these will be ready on December 12th will remain to be seen. Hot Shots Golf, Ridge Racer and Metal Gear Acid look to be some of the important titles for the Japanese launch; the full list is as follows.
Bandai – Lumines; The Legend of Heroes
Capcom – Vampire Chronicle: Chaos Tower
CyberFront Corporation - Kollon
EA. - Need for Speed Underground Rivals; Tiger Woods PGA Tour
FromSoftware – Armoured Core: Formula Front
Husdsonsoft - Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory
KOEI. - Dynasty Warriors; Mahjong
Konami – Metal Gear Acid; Mahjong Fight Club
Marvelous Interactive Inc. - AI Go; Al Mahjong; Al Shogi
Namco - Kotoba No Puzzle Mojipittan Daijiten; Ridge Racer
SEGA - Puyo Pop Fever
Sony - Dokodemo Issyo; Hot Shots Golf
Taito – Puzzle Bobble Pocket
After Nintendo’s early volley of fire, detailing attractive DS related information, Sony has finally returned the shot: and the handheld war has truly begun. There’s still everything to play for, with the DS reaching the US before even Japan gets the PSP: but once these finished consoles are actually out there in the public domain, being pawed by real-life gamers, the competition is sure to heat up even further.
Expect much, much more on the ensuing handheld battle in the weeks to come |

His mission, to piss off my wife by going on and on about the specifications and general amazingness of this new peice of gadgetry , bludgeoning her with stats, screenshots and bollocks about how useful this thing will be until her resolve breaks and with a cry of "just feckin well go and get one then!!!" I head off into town to give away another wad of my hjard earned. Damn you gadget boy!!!

The only problem with it is that the battery life is clocked at 6 hours.....you can get another 6 hours with the battery pack which is nice, but i dont know if i would carry that around with me all that much.
I still want it tho. It is so nice looking, and the graphics are AMAzING.
