PSP details: controllers, buttons, connectivity and more inside
Sony shows more than ever of magic machine.
The PSP is finally becoming more than a last-minute abstraction, manipulated as a showstopper for E3. It would appear that the machine, arguably Sony Computer Entertainment’s most important project to date, is indeed entering reality, complete with a design.
For a start, the final button layout has been confirmed. According to a release in Japan overnight, the machine will have the classic four PlayStation button, cross, square, triangle and circle. These will be joined by a single analogue stick, a single digital D-pad, the holy duo of start and select, and two shoulder buttons.
Talking of connectivity, the PSP promises to be the Jezebel of the gaming world, seeing union with PlayStation 2, other PSP's and, excitingly, PC, via its USB ports.
Sony also mentioned that the device will more than likely come equipped with a lithium ion battery, which we are assured that by today’s standards would offer around four hours of play. However, it is estimated that by the time the machine releases in a little over a year, that time will be stretched to around six or seven hours.
Not at all bad. Sony has also been hinting that the PSP will be considerably larger than the world has come to expect of a handheld. It has also been mentioned by Ken Kutaragi that it will not be a toy, but a high-end piece of consumer electronics.
Unarguably one of the most interesting things on the go at this point in time, keep it locked for everything PSP right here, as it breaks.
