"Playstation Portable Information Request" , posted Sat 27 Sep 08:53

I'm trying to find information on the "Playstation Portable" that's coming to North America.

I know I've seen many articles within the past 3 months, but now they've all seem to have disappeared.

I'm just looking for the specifics such as processor speed, graphics card, etc. I know there's a Playstation Portable site, but this isn't as in depth as the articles were.

I know I read articles specifically at Gamespot and The Magic Box, but I can't find those articles anymore.

If anyone happens to come across them or knows of the specs, could you please post it for me?

Thanks in advance.

If I recall, the button mapping went as so.

Everything is in normal position except there are no L2 or R2 buttons, or a right stick.

It supposedly can handle slightly above PS quality, can run Mpeg-4 quality video. MP3s and movies. Media will be handled on discs that can hold up to about 1.4 gigs.

The processor and video-card are NON-EXISTANT YET. So don't take their word for this super-powerful crap. It's the same situation with the "Cell" processor for the PS3, it doesn't exist, so we can't take their word.

Everything else seems doable though.

I also forgot to mention the battery, which is exactly (I think) the same as their camcorder/camera battery that has been developed for Sony's regular hardware.

So...how about those...things....

Thanks for the info. I remember they had some actualy specs. on it like processor speed and stuff like that, so there are specifics out there.

As for Cell, yes it's real and yes it's powerful. It's being developed by IBM and Sony as we speak. I have contacts in IBM, so I know the progress as it comes.

If anyone can come across the article on Gamespot, please post.
