The top pics are not real. The last two appear to be... if the unit that man is holding is indeed a PSP, the drawing above seems to coincide with the details of what PSP was to have, and with the pic below. It's known there was one analog stick, I know that much for sure. The first one, the PSM concept sketch, and the third one are to be ignored. The last one may not even be totally accurate... I wish we had some more solid info about this machine.

From what I understand it's going to have the 4 shape buttons, one analog control stick, 1 digital pad and two L/R buttons.
It looks pretty sweet, but Sony is trying to make it do so much that it's going to be very expensive. It's using discs for storage, so it's going to have to have a pretty powerful battery and moving parts.
I'm excited, but I won't be able to get one if it ends up being the projected $300 price tag.

That would be INCREDIBLY lame if that used that same ol' stiff-assed d-pad from the PS... and PS2 controller...

It's still far too early for me to judge what the PSP is going to be like. It's using discs? That's interesting. Playstation products can sometimes get a bit fussy when reading discs so how much more of a problem is it going to be for the PSP to constantly yank up information off the disc when the machinery involved has been shrunk down to hand-held size? Perhaps the system will be fun but considering the only thing to go on right now is information put out by Sony's hype deptartment [the same people that were claiming the PS2 was going to be the most amazing thing ever invented in the history of the human race] I'm going to take a wait and see attitude. Still, I'm sure it will be better than the NGage.
I like that the top three pics are not only mock-ups, but wildly differing mock-ups. Why does the screen on pic 3 direct you to the site of the guy who built R2-D2? At least the comb-over on the guy in pic 5 is truly a sight to behold.

The discs are an odd thing. The format is... UMD, I think? I forget, and am too lazy to look it up. Anyway, they seem closer to MD than they are to CDs... not sure how it'll work.

Of everything I've read about the PSP, the disc format is probably the only thing that has gotten me excited. I always liked the idea of CD caddies (back when they were actually used), and especially so for a minidisc size like the ones that are being used for the GameCube. Caddies would (in my opinion) do nothing but good, assuming that a non-clumsy design for one could be found.
I guess I can't really see anything wrong with having 7.1 sound, but is anyone really going to use it on a handheld? I mean, will I be able to buy a package of three headphones and a vibrator to get the full support?

Caddies for life. I want a DVD-RAM drive mostly just for the cool caddies, and for the backup potential second! heh heh.
