PSP prototipo develada

Sheeit cuando ya bastaba con la calentura que nos dejo a todos Sony con las caracteristicas de la PSP (como para no contar los minutos hasta que salga) ahora se develo que la PSP en realidad iba a salir en un principio junto a la GBA alla por el 2001 y que hay de hecho 2 PSPs, el modelo del 2001 y esta de ahora, sino lean


"Thanks to an article at Japan's Nikkei Biztech news service, we've learned of an insider secret that's been kept under wraps for two years now. According to the site, Sony had a portable system in development for planned release in 2001. The hardware was codenamed E.T. and featured a casing around the size of Nintendo's Game Boy Advance system, a color LCD and input for Sony Memory Sticks. The plan was for games to be downloaded (for a fee, of course) to the Memory Sticks via kiosks set up at game retailers.

Sony itself was developing the hardware under direct control of Sony chairman Nobuyuki Idei and president Andou Kunitake, minus any input from Sony Computer Entertainment. Work begain in 1998 and the company had an experimental version ready by 2000. Domestic heavy hitters including Square and Capcom were even working on software.

However, the product never saw the light of day. In June of 2001, Sony Computer Entertainment stepped in with the opinion that the company should place its all behind the new PS2 console, and that the time was not right for the release of new portable hardware. Work on the project apparently ended at that point.

One person familiar with the ET project commented to Nikkei, "Why did Sony choose to develop a portable system on their own? If they had worked together with SCE, the project would not have had such difficulties."

Definitely one for the vault (right next to all those SNES CD-Rom games and the Sega Saturn upgrade cartridge)."
