European launches in the spring of 2005.
PSP comes in a black colour, with a 16:9 widescreen TFT LCD

comfortably in the hands. The dimensions are 170mm x 74mm x 23mm with a weight

million colours) on a 480 x 272 pixel high-resolution screen. It also comes

speakers, exterior headphone connector, brightness control and sound mode
selection. Keys and controls inherit the same operability of PlayStation and
PlayStation 2, familiar to fans all over the world.
PSP also comes equipped with diverse input/output connectors
such as USB 2.0, and 802.11b (Wi-Fi) wireless LAN, providing connectivity to
various devices in the home and to the wireless network outside. The world of
gaming is further enhanced by enabling users to enjoy online gaming, or by
connecting multiple PSPs to each other, directly via the wireless network. In
addition, software and data can be downloaded through a USB or wireless network
onto Memory Stick PRO Duo. All of these features can be enjoyed on one single

PSP adopts a small but high-capacity optical medium UMD
(Universal Media Disc), enabling game software, rich with full-motion video and
other forms of digital entertainment content, to be stored. The newly developed UMD, the next-generation compact storage media, is only 60mm in diameter but can
store up to 1.8GB of digital data. A broad range of digital entertainment
content such as music video clips, movies and sports programs can be provided on
UMD. To protect this entertainment content, a robust copyright protection system
has been developed which utilizes a combination of a unique disc ID, a 128 bit
AES encryption keys for the media, and individual ID for each PSP hardware unit.
SCEI intends to aggressively promote PSP and UMD as the new
handheld entertainment platform for the coming era.
