All this don\'t mean sh1t when :

- wide variety of games library is NOT built up quickly.
- the display screen is sub par GBA SP
- the battery life is small or very very expensive
PSP custom battery is needed.

So, I guess we\'ll have to wait to find out how those
aspects will turn out.

The Display will be a back-lit LCD IIRC.
Games will be announced during TGS next year.
A prototype of the PSP will be shown at E3 next year.

WTF?!
Some major developers in Japan were surveyed and they were overwhelmingly exited to start developing on the PSP.

The Screen is a 4.5 inch, backlit, 16:9 ratio LCD. Subpar to GBA-SP?!?
HAHAHA!!

Battery life is a true concern, but being it\'s a lithium (like GBA-sp) you can plug it in for an hour or two and be up and playing again.

BOOHOO!!

I\'m getting the wireless video sender (from liksang.com) where You can set up the wireless camera in one room and watch the video on your sp in another room.

Good for a puppy-cam.

the 2 hour DVD quality , does that mean we could tape an episode and watch in a bus or something ?

in short: this thing is I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E! :eek:!

If they get the batter life right - and the design is stylish/expensive looking while still confortable for gaming, I must get one of these.

And the specs btw; seems like quite a bit above DC in many regards and might even top PS2...
