 PSP -- The Playstation Portable!
As promised a few months ago by Sony of Japan, a beta model of the PSP, Sony's "Game Boy", was unveiled. Attached is a photo of the preliminary model and the UMD disc that is used to store info... and apparently can hold way more than the average PS2 disc... about 3 or 4 times more. (Blue Laser DVD). It was clipped from the Jan 2004 issue of OPM, Official US Playstation Magazine (my fav  )

Yeah, especially now that they've boosted its RAM up to 32Meg from 8Meg. It's got touch sensitive controls and is just a bit bigger than a PS2 controller.

I bet even if you bump into something with it itll stop working... i remember when my ps fell half a foot off the top of my tv to the back of the tv.. and it stopped working. Sony makes thier stuff too delicate most of the time. I hope this isnt the case as portables are designed to be roughed around with

This looks so thin that there is very little to get shaken loose from a fall, which is a good thing,

I agree on the whole Sony makes their machines too fragile, I've had about 4 PS2s, lol and did you know that the reason the CD lens claps out so quick is because its (if memory serves, I could be wrong) is a 4x speed cd drive running at 6x speed.

My PS2 broke a month and a half ago...and I took it apart (voiding the warranty) and then messed around with it...it works now, except minor glitches.
And the disc tray is really sticking when it opens...needs to be lubed up I guess.

I've had my PS2 for a year and a half and I've had no problems with it.

The cd tray gets clogged out with dirt to easily it gets louder and slower every time you open/close it

IMO portable gaming systems are a waste of money and are entirely too childish. Other than long road trips...i don't see a purpose of owning one.

But oh so cool!
In an article I saw a few months back, it said that FFVII was being remade for the "Portable GBA"... but now that I think of it, maybe it's being remade for PSP! That would make muuch more sense..... and be much cooler

How about taking over to a friends house when there is nothing to do Linkalicious? There is a purpose for Portable gaming systems, but otherwise, you are right.

if you are going to a friends house...then why the hell are you playing portable video games instead of hanging out with your friend? u gonna sit there playing portables while he is getting ready for the night is 1 thing...but in this modern era who the hell doesn't have a console hooked up at home? so why not just play that instead?

Maybe there's a game you two want to play that's only on there. Golden Sun and GS2: The Lost Age is a great example: good ol' 2-d Turn based RPG with 2 player versus mode-- that's cool. Now imagine a PSP and the multiplayer options that could present. The same games aren't released for portables as consules, but that doesn't mean the games aren't any less fun.
