Imagine a handheld console that has the graphics capabilities of a PlayStation 2, and does everything else that the PS2 can do

The first thing you notice about the Sony PSP is the sleek design, which fits comfortably in your hands. Turn the PSP on, and it’s the impressive 4.3 inch,
16:9 widescreen Liquid Crystal Display that grabs your attention, as it almost covers an entire face of the hand-held console. The controls are instantly
familiar, inheriting their functions from PlayStation and PS2 control pads
Unique to the Sony PSP console is a newly developed high-capacity optical
medium, called UMD (Universal Media Disc). Only 60mm in diameter, UMDs can store up to 1.8 GB of digital data, enabling PS2 quality game software, full-motion
video, music and other forms of digital entertainment content to be accessed
