That looks stunning if Sony play their cards right by capitalising on the playstation brand then im sure we are looking at a cult item of the future here- ipod popularity perhaps...
The dimensions are 17cm x 7.4cm x 2.3cm, is it me, or does that seem a little on the large side?

It does look quite large, yeah. Reminds me of the Atari Lynx a little!

check that out if you want to see the games that will be on the PSP around release dateits the sony video from E3
Battery Life:The Games :One of the most crucial statistics, of course, is the battery life - and in this area Sony expects the PSP to last for 10 hours of music playback (which is better than most MP3 players), eight hours of gameplay and two hours of movie playback from the UMD. The game statistic is a little optimistic though - it assumes minimal access of the UMD disc during playtime, which means that on advanced games which stream data, the battery life will be shorter.Electronic Arts plans to have Need for Speed Underground, NBA Street, NFL Street and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 up and running on the console for its launch early next year, while Activision's Tony Hawk and Spider-Man titles will be on the handheld, to name but two of the western publishers who have committed to PSP; almost all of the other publishers are also expected to support the platform, but have not yet announced specific titles.
In terms of Japanese publishers, Konami is bringing Metal Gear to the platform in the form of Metal Gear Acid; Namco will have a Ridge Racer title and the "Tales of" RPG series on the system; Koei plans to release a new Dynasty Warriors title on the handheld, and Sega has Puyo Pop Fever and "Project S" in the pipeline. Nothing has yet been announced from RPG giant Square Enix, but the company - which, although not quite the "kingmaker" that EA is in the west, is still important to the success of any console in Japan - has said that it will be supporting the handheld.
And that, of course, is before you consider the first party line-up - which includes Gran Turismo 4, Ape Escape, Syphon Filter, Armored Core, MediEvil, Wipeout and plenty more. All in all, there's no doubt that the PSP will be well supplied with game software - although there might be question marks over the nature of that line-up, since original titles are thin on the ground. Only Death Jr. and PSP Racing stand out as genuinely new games in the range announced to date.
Wow, I try not to get sucked in by hype usually and so that streaming movie is the first time I've seen the graphical power of the PSP ... and I'm impressed greatly.
Should be an excellent 'little' system, just hope my clothes have big enough pockets to fit it in.
Well 17cm x 7.4cm x 2.3cm is about the same size as a TV remote (like the sky one) but you can bet it will come with various bags and packs.
Its sexeh.
