"PSP unveiled"

Holy crap! I'm so getting me one of these. Doesn't look to dissimilar to the prototype revealed last year, except that it's black, has a proper D-pad and some volume facia buttons. In short, it looks awesome.

The pics I've got from a press site show it with Gran Turismo 4 - not the PS2 version, the PSP version. How the hell did they keep that under wraps?

Sony execs, listen up - as long as you don't charge over £250 for this thing, you're going to make more money than Jesus by selling this sweet baby. Just get it out before summer next year and you'll be laughing. Laughing I tells ya! Compare it to the (let's face it) really dull mock-up of the Nintendo DS (found on Eurogamer.net) and it jizzes right it in its coffee.

I just hope the PSP doesnt have the same problem as the GBA had with its screen, where you couldnt see the screen hardly depending of the light in the room ect.

Ruddy pain that was.

There's some amazing shots from the hands-on demos going around... the screen is sooooo bright and clear! Also there's pics of a cream colour PSP that just looks beautiful, and another white one with the GT logo on it (similar to the machines launched to coincide with Prologue)

They're doing you and your bank account a favour I guess. And we haven't even seen the NG consoles yet; I'm guessing I'll neev more than a job and a student loan over the next few years *sigh*

*cries*

I'm a microsoft fanboy. (:D)

Damn you microsoft for not making a handheld console.

*reluctantly orders PSP*

Urggh, that Sony conference was really boring.

Pah, not that again.

Like I said, be interesting to see what GBA 2 is like.... DS seems pretty powerful in itself.

I guarantee a MS handheld by 20...................50

He also said:

"move onto bigger and better things with the GBA 2 to challenge the PSP"

So he realises the DS is no competition :D

Ooo, you said DS looks better than PSP!

Beware...

Looks great, but I'd personally be happier with a DS. They both appear to have similar specifications, but the DS just has the edge in the features department and that it looks a lot cooler.

Oh, and someone mentioned that the DS would merely detract from GBA sales, meaning Nintendo would gain little in the long run. Personally, I think Nintendo want it to. Think about it - it'd be a ridiculous idea for the GBA 2 to use cartridges, and so Nintendo need a third platform to boast this massive catalogue of games while they move onto bigger and better things with the GBA 2 to challenge the PSP.

Boosh!
Okay, I'm happy now.
