Sony's PSP

The Sony PSP set to launch in 12 days.

Does that mean I'm counting down? Not necessarily, but from the looks and reviews of it, seems like it's a piece of gaming hardware worth checking out. With a slightly steep price of $249.00, it is a full $100.00 more than it's rival Nintendo's newest portable, the DS (Dual Screen), and may prevent the not so hard core gamer from picking one up right away.

According to CNET, the PSP value package at $249 includes a 32MB Memory Stick Duo card, headphones, an in-line remote, a slip-case, and a sampler disc (in the PSP's proprietary Universal Media Disc, or UMD, format) containing movie clips, music, and game demos. The first million units will also include the full Spider-Man 2 movie on a second disc.

Not bad for the standard price, at least they include a carrying case. One of the stand out features are the graphics, which to my suprise look a whole lot better than the Playstation 1.
With 20 games avaliable at launch, you will have your portable fill of racing, hoops and adventure.
