From the specs it seems quite comparable. DC had about 8 megs of VRAM, but since the resolution is slightly lower, it won't matter as much with 2 megs. Textures and lighting will probably take a hit (unless all is done by hardware) It'll probably be DC-style in the amounts of polys pushed however.

I wonder if it'll have teh jaggeiz1!!!1!

Aliasing and shimmering issues is not something to worry about on a 4 inch screen. The image would be too small to display any of that stuff. Or at least display it noticeably.

Stanley got some news to bring us guys os PSXExtreme about the PSP , stay yuned...... just kiddind. There is it

New PlayStation goes wireless

TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) -- Sony said Tuesday its new hand-held PlayStation console would be equipped with a wireless network system which allows users within a close area to play games together and download game characters.

Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE), Sony's game unit, mapped out technical details of the upcoming "PSP" hand-held platform, which will compete head-to-head with Nintendo Co Ltd's dominant Game Boy Advance handheld console.

"We will be using some challenging technologies including wireless LAN," SCE President Ken Kutaragi said at a meeting of game software makers and retailers.

Coming next year

Kutaragi said the PSP, scheduled to debut in the fourth quarter of 2004, would employ "the latest and the most cutting-edge technologies" including two powerful micro-processors and an advanced 3D-effect graphics engine.

The new device will process data ten times faster than the original PlayStation console, SCE said.

Kutaragi also said the PSP would adopt advanced security technology which will help protect the copyright of game developers.

Sony, the dominant force in the $30 billion video game market, took industry watchers by surprise in May by unveiling its plan to launch the PSP, which features a color screen and a new high-capacity optical disc created especially for it.

The move puts Nintendo and its Game Boy hand-held platform directly in its sights, just as in 1995 when Sony first ventured into the game console business.

Game developers getting tools

Sony has not set a price for the PSP, a multi-media unit that also plays movies and music, but analysts expect it to sell for 19,000 to 30,000 yen ($159-$251), well above the 12,500-yen price tag for Game Boy Advance SP, Nintendo's smaller version of its hot-selling device launched in February.

SCE plans to start distributing PC-base software emulator tools to game developers this autumn, followed by the final hardware tool next spring, Kutaragi said.

"We plan to demonstrate our prototype version of the PSP at the E3 trade show in the United States next May, and a software line-up at the Tokyo Game Show, ahead of the worldwide launch in the fourth quarter of 2004," Kutaragi said.

"The PSP is a product with huge potential, following PlayStation and PlayStation 2. The video game market may change in a big way."
-- Ken Kutaragi, Sony Computer Entertainment

and this is the news.....good night and good dreaming

GOD! this is from f*****g SONY, whoo!hoo! SONY's the best, I like you SONY. powered by SONY's Play Station


I may not have money guys but I will do my effort to get this PSP, it play games, movies,play mp3s, even download. This is what I've been dreaming all my life that SONY will create something like that like Game Boy. Cause I want something like that to play with my friends, when I'm on toilet, in car, anywhere, that I would wait to SONY create something like that, because I would not buy a Game Boy, and my dreams come true.

SONY

Im looking forward to it, I only wish I understood half of the specs.

so is the market big enough for the GBA:SP, GP32 and the PSP.

by the time the PSP comes out, Japan will have the GP64, and I would of thought Nintendo would bring out a roughly similar model, like a 64bit SP or something.

But this PSP is basically a fkg dreamcast with Blockbuster thrown in... its insane!

I keep seeing more and more artists impressions on how the PSP will look, and they're all starting to look the same now.. though they all look good.


roll on next year!

Man, when I saw these specs over at IGN, my jaw hit the floor!! (even though, like Dillon, I don't know what half of them mean...). I do know they are impressive however. I also found this interesting in IGN's article:

"Sony will be tapping into its PlayStation heritage and including the familiar triangle, circle, X, square, start, select, L1 and R1 buttons on the system. These will be digital. In addition, the system will include a single analogue thumb pad."

Only one analogue thumb pad

This thing will own every other hand held regardless.
