Sony has released new concept images of the PlayStation Portable system, in the Corporate Strategy Meeting in New York City.

The design of the PSP is quite different from GameBoy Advance, the PSP has a rounded rectangular shape, with a 4.5" 16:9 letterbox TFT LCD screen; the UMD drive is located on the back of the system, there is a snap-on cover and keychain hole with a hand lanyard attached.

WoOoOoW..

Is it as same as a PS2 graphics?? and what bout the games, how do you play them or even insert them??

and do u think the battery will last for atleast 2 hours??

The games will be released on UMDs. There is no info on what the battery life would be like, but for sure it is going to be quite long. Graphics wise, there is noway it can be as good as the PS2.
