New PSP Pics Revealed

Wow... The clarity of the screen is amazing.

Look analog controls

**Michael** · 07-28-2004, 05:18 PM

Looks real nice...but I think they did it just because ds will be getting the hype right now...they don't want people to forget about the psp...

**Nights** · 07-28-2004, 05:21 PM

Actually these pics are a couple weeks old. I just now posted it, for you guys... :-P If you look at most multi gaming sites, the focus is still on the ds not having Analog. Bad focus on DS, and positive focus on PSP isn't a bad thing at all for sony. Nintendo really should have added analog controls.

...now it looks like shit...well...atleast compared to the DS...

**IEatFriedPikmin** · 07-28-2004, 05:24 PM

they really need to add a flip top or something to protect the screen. Its going to get finger prints and scratches no matter what you do. It will be like the GBA, just a bigger target. And you can see the smudges around the d-pad, which doesnt look too good.

That's cause it's the shiny silver prototype.

I am with you on getting some kind of screen protection...

**GleefulFarewell** · 07-28-2004, 05:27 PM

^lol...they used this weard plastic for the shell...

**Nights** · 07-28-2004, 05:31 PM

It actually is quite firm and feels more durable than the DS or SP shell

**Michael** · 07-28-2004, 05:36 PM

^now come on Nights...the plastic feels like the ds shell...that sounds like a bunch of bull, and it'll still get scratched up...but it still has a nice design atleast..

**GleefulFarewell** · 07-28-2004, 05:37 PM

but its still weard plastic...when you touch it it leaves finger prints and stuff...

**Virtual** · 07-28-2004, 05:49 PM

Holy shit that looks sweet. Can't wait to get my hands on one of those.

A few gripes, however:
They do need a protective screen
Low battery life

A few compliments however:
Smaller than I thought (very portable)
Analog stick is nice
The plastic they used with protect the screen (not LCD) (and its probably replaceable)
Button placement is nice
Sleek, sexy design.

its 7in long! Thats pretty BIG...

**disrupter006** · 07-28-2004, 06:00 PM

Too big for a portable. End of story.

**Michael** · 07-28-2004, 06:03 PM

^I went over that before...there both smaller then people think...ds, sp but longer...psp, slightly bigger then sp...

I haven't tried the new ds. Just the old one. The new ds looks to have the same coding. Plus a durable outerlayer counts as nothing. It's the inside durability that you worry about...

That I don't know.. They didn't let me through either the DS or PSP around for some reason..

ITS 7 INCHES LONG! THATS HUGE!

I was surprised when Nintendo released the GBA...it was too BIG!

**Michael** · 07-28-2004, 06:11 PM

Well, the E3 shell was said to feel exactly the sp shell...so I from that I know how hard it is...now with that clear picture, I can deduce that the plastic is not that thick or it'd have a bottle cap effect...need I say more? The higher grade, the greater cost..not to mention the clearity...but I'll take your word for it for now...

Jesus just shut up already.

Looks very, very nice. Too bad they don't use CompaceFlash

Oh, that would be sweet if it did.

I have a 64 MB card and 512 card. I could watch movies and such with that thing. Maybe they can make some type of add-on for it.
