PSP Concept Model (http://www.1up.com/article2/0,4364,1372129,00.asp)

The page has a picture and some information about the design pros and cons.
It looks really elegant right now, but I'm not going off and preordering one off based on a single pic.

It looks to small to fit in my hands. I wish they would compare it to something, like a quarter, in the picture. But it does look sharp. Like one of those PDA/cell phones. When is the intended release date?

This site has alot of stuff on upcoming Sony products. Most of it is concept art, but on interesting note is complete backward compatability for PS2 and PS1 will be in PS3. Btw, anyone else think that the PS3 logo is ugly?

I've made up my mind, I'm gettin' a PS3 when it comes out. As for the logo, it's not that bad really.

I'm just thinking about how it would look on a box. I was under the impression that all the next-gen consoles would be smaller, since portability has become sort-of a craze, especially with the X-box networking trend.

The PS3 logo would look horrble on ANYTHING! That is one sad thing... Unless they made it into the one on the banner... Thats not too bad... Say, how much better are the graphics gonna get? It's hard to get any better than this...

Sexy. I want one.

It looks so incredably secksy...

I saw it the night before too, but don't do news articles at night b/c I'm usually spendin' time w/my girl. I always post early morning if at all.

Good to see ya again, ya dick. ;)

Here's what I notice:

That screen is a fingerprint magnet, I'm hoping for some kind of covering? Here's an idea, how about they use those new organic LCDs?
The entire thing is shiny. Another fingerprint magnet, and depending on the material that things made out of, they could know $100 of the price easily.
That universal minidisc does look cool, but I wonder how it will fit in my pocket.
The cord is a very good idea, assuming its made out of decent material and won't break easily.
The power button is a big close to the keypad, people with big/clumsy fingers will have a hard time.
The big circle on the back looks sweet, PSP is definitely more aesthetic than the N-gage. :thumbsdn:

It's good to be back among you dicks, DP. :D
