If you have any questions regarding the PlayStation Portable format, please feel free to post in this thread.
With high-quality graphics processing capability equivalent to that of PlayStation 2, in addition to rich stereo sound, PSP offers the joy of playing full-scale 3D-CG games and viewing high resolution video images anytime, anywhere.
Equipped with a wireless LAN feature, PSP enables users to connect to the Internet through access points, making it possible for users to download game characters and content and also to play games on-line with families, friends and on-line community members. For a more intimate gaming experience, a maximum of 16 PSP systems can be connected wirelessly through the ad-hoc mode allowing family and friends to create an instant yet powerful local on-line entertainment community.
PSP features an integrated high output lithium-ion battery that provides play time of between 4 and 6 hours for game titles and continuous 4 to 5 hours for video viewing.
With a 4.3 inch wide 16:9 high resolution LCD screen, the largest in a handheld gaming device, creates a personal environment in which to enjoy games, music and video anytime, anywhere, with a dynamism that has never been possible before.
What kind of disc do PSP games come on?
The PSP uses a proprietary Sony disc called the UMD, or Universal Media Disc. Capable of storing up to 1.8GB of data (a CD holds 0.650GB, a DVD holds 4.7GB), the UMD is a disc format enclosed in a small cartridge (similar to the Sony Mini-Disc format.)
Are PSP discs writeable or rewriteable?
No, the UMD cannot be written to. Only Sony will be able to create UMD media, and the company has no plans to make external UMD writers devices, and even third-party publishers will not be able to create their own discs without Sony's ability to press the data to UMD.
What memory storage does the PSP use?
The PSP makes use of Sony's Memory Stick format, small rewriteable Flash ROM cards about the size of a stick of bubble-gum. This format will be used for the same uses as the Memory Card for PlayStation and PlayStation 2: game character and progress saves, user-created data, online downloaded content, and system profiles and hardware drivers. The Memory Stick media also is used to store separate audio and video files for those who use the handheld's additional multimedia features. The specific Memory Stick format supported by PSP is the Memory Stick PRO Duo format, which also makes it compatible with the standard Memory Stick Duo format.
