Ahhh, I had heard of this from my kids, but never have seen it.

"The PSP will still be dogged by other questions, particularly those surrounding the device's battery life. Sony estimates the device will run for three to six hours on a battery charge, with units running movies and visually complex games on the lower end of that range"

I think I would rather have a portable DVD player and the GB SP.

Looks cool though.

Not sure it plays DVD - but anyhoo I'm not getting one. I just invested in a Gameboy. Besides it is very expensive!

the button problem???

It plays a sony encoded dvd disk... I don't think it is actually a DVD.

But it is so hot!!!

The PSP takes a new path in the quest for an all-in-one gadget. It's being sold primarily as a portable game machine, a market where it can capitalize on the huge PlayStation brand, yet it can also play movies and music, display digital photos and potentially perform a host of Internet tasks through its built-in wireless networking. The result, analysts and industry observers say, isn't the "iPod killer" many have imagined, but a device that could give Sony a head start in the next phase of the digital-media era.

And look at this:

No music labels have revealed plans yet to support UMD, but a Sony executive recently confirmed that the company plans to release software updates that will use the PSP's built-in wireless networking capability to download tunes from Sony's Connect store and possibly other services.


geee whaaaaa!!!!

It dosen't play DVD's - It plays a disc called UMD. UMD is more or less a glorified flash card.

I don't have a spare $250 laying around, but I would love to have one of those.

Whether or not I get a PSP or a DS depends on the games that are available for it. I care little about multimedia capabilities. To me, it's primarily a console. In general, I dislike playing on small screens, so those games'd better be good if I am to get one.
