Sony to Launch Smaller PStwo

Sony to Launch Smaller PStwo 09/17/2004 12:44 PM

Reuters is reporting that Sony intends to unveil a new smaller version of the Playstation two next week, called the PStwo. Like the successful shrinky-dink PSone version of the first Playstation, the PStwo will maintain all the same functionality (although who knows about the inputs and outputs) and will play all the same games as the older PS2. As usual, if anyone has pictures they'd like to share, we're always happy to maintain your anonymity.

I would also expect information about the PSP to solidify next week, too, with pricing and launches dates to be shored up for both Japan and elsewhere. My favorite PSP launch title so far? "Fight Club Mahjongg." I'm so not joking.
Read - Sony to Launch Smaller PS2 Console Oct. 26 [Reuters (Yahoo)]

Update: It's probably best to clarify that this isn't set in stone from Sony yet. They did register the PStwo name, though, so I would expect a new console is likely, although we may not hear about it Tuesday.

Sony Style PSP Launch Party

Sony Style PSP Launch Party 03/22/2005 04:46 PM

So sure, Sony is throwing a launch party for the PSP at the Sony Style store in Manhattan tomorrow night, but the real news is: you might just get to meet Carson Daly. (I know!?!?) Actually, Danger Mouse is supposed to be developing, packaging, and delivering sonic science at the party, too, which is pretty cool (I've yet to buy into the DM hype, but sometimes a live performance is all it takes).

Oh, and if you're among the first 500 to arrive, you'll be able to purchase a PSP and a game at midnight. It's worth a shot (and I'll be there, which is almost as good as Carson Daly, right?) Cool Hunting has the flyer and details.

Update: Brian writes,"You mentioned the launch party in Manhattan, but not the one in San Francisco. It's at Sony Metreon, 101 4th Street in the Playstation store (not Sony Style) at 12:00 AM March 24, or tomorrow night. :) Price/opportunities for customers are the same, I'd imagine."

Sony to Launch Music Download Service

Sony to Launch Music Download Service
for PSP 02/01/2005 09:09 PM

The Register is reporting that Sony will be launching a new music service specifically for its PSP portable gaming system. The new download service is supposed to be in place by March here to coincide with the launch of Sony's player. Tony Smith speculates that the service, once in place, could just as easily be used to push video content down to the device, which doesn't have a hard drive, but can accept flash MemoryStick in 1-2GB sizes—plenty big for a couple of movies.

I think if Sony's got a shot at the iPod, the PSP is it—it can do almost everything you'd want to do while on the road, including productivity stuff (if they release a keyboard).

Sony delays PSP European launch until
summer 02/05/2005 10:10 PM
Sony has announced that the release date of its new Playstation Portable in Europe and most of Asia will be delayed until summer. March 24th has been announced as the release date for the handheld device in North America. Sony says European gaming enthusiasts, as well as citizens from most of Asia except Japan, will have to wait until sometime in the summer to get their hands on the new system due to high demand and low supply in those parts of the world. "We doubt our customers would be satisfied in releasing them with insufficient inventories," said Kenichi Fukunaga, a spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment. "By summer, we will be able to manage to meet global demand as our production capacity will be raised to two million units a month," Fukunaga said. "But under the current conditions, it is difficult for us to go ahead with the planned schedule."
