Sony has launched its much anticipated PSP portable games console. There will be 33 game titles available at launch with around 100 available by Christmas. On top of this, Sony Pictures has announced 19 movie titles for launch and 7 titles each month after that. Launch titles include Ridge Racer and WipeOut Pure as well as new brands like Pursuit Force, and World Tour Soccer. Film titles included XXX 2 The Next Level, Hellboy and Resident Evil 2.
Priced at EUR*254.99, the PSP Value Pack contains an added-value package of accessories and entertainment content, including the system with a protective pouch, 32MB Memory Stick Duo storage card, Battery Pack, headphones with remote control, AC adaptor, wrist Strap and a video/music/game sampler UMD disc including several non-interactive game demos. A copy of Spiderman 2, on UMD Video will be available free of charge to early purchasers of PSP who register their PSP and order their Spiderman 2 UMD Video through www.yourpsp.com, the official SCEE web portal for PSP.
The PSP features a 4.3-inch, 16:9 widescreen TFT LCD screen that displays full colour (16.77 million colours) on a 480 x 272 pixel high-resolution screen. The PSP also comes complete with built-in stereo speakers, exterior headphone connector and a range of input/output connectors such as USB 2.0 and 802.11b wireless LAN, enabling users to connect to the Internet and play online via a wireless network.
Up to 16 PSP systems in the vicinity can also be connected to each other directly in Ad Hoc Mode, allowing for wireless head-to-head competition. In addition, wireless capabilities will allow software and data to be downloaded to the PSP and saved onto a Memory Stick Duo memory card. The PSP uses a newly-developed proprietary storage medium named Universal Media Disc (UMD).
This high-capacity optical disc is the next-generation compact storage media, and although only 60mm in diameter, a UMD can store up to 1.8GB of digital data – more than three times the data held on a CD ROM. A broad range of digital entertainment content such as high quality 3D games, music, movies, video clips and other media can be distributed on UMD.
