Product Specifications for PlayStation Portable (PSP) Revealed - HOT!Posted on Wednesday, May 12, 2004 @ 09:54:13 pm E.S.T
 Los Angeles, May 11, 2004 – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) announced today
the product specifications for the handheld video game system, PlayStation®Portable (PSP™).
3D-CG games incorporating high quality full motion video similar to PlayStation®2 can be
played anytime, anywhere with PSP. PSP is scheduled to be launched in Japan in the end of
2004, followed by the North American and European launches in the spring of 2005.
PSP comes in a black color, with a 16:9 widescreen TFT LCD centered in a sleek
ergonomic design with a high quality finish that fits comfortably in the hands. The dimensions
are 170mm x 74mm x 23mm with a weight of 260g. PSP features a high quality TFT LCD
that displays full-color (16.77 million colors) on a 480 x 272 pixel high-resolution screen. It
also comes complete with the basic functions of a portable player such as built-in stereo
speakers, exterior headphone connector, brightness control and sound mode selection. Keys
and controls inherit the same operability of PlayStation® and PlayStation 2, familiar to fans all
over the world.
 PSP also comes equipped with diverse input/output connectors such as USB 2.0,
and 802.11b (Wi-Fi) wireless LAN, providing connectivity to various devices in the home and
to the wireless network outside. The world of gaming is further enhanced by enabling users to
enjoy on-line gaming, or by connecting multiple PSPs to each other, directly via the wireless
network. In addition, software and data can be downloaded through a USB or wireless
network onto Memory Stick™ PRO Duo. All of these features can be enjoyed on one single
system.
 PSP adopts a small but high capacity optical medium UMD™ (Universal Media
Disc), enabling game software, rich with full motion video and other forms of digital
entertainment content, to be stored. The newly developed UMD, the next generation compact
storage media, is only 60mm in diameter but can store up to 1.8GB of digital data. A broad
range of digital entertainment content such as music video clips, movies and sports programs
can be provided on UMD. To protect this entertainment content, a robust copyright protection
system has been developed which utilizes a combination of a unique disc ID, a 128 bit AES
encryption keys for the media, and individual ID for each PSP hardware unit.
SCEI intends to aggressively promote PSP and UMD as the new handheld
entertainment platform for the coming era.
