Check out the first picture of Sony's UMD, the all new disc format to be used by, amongst other things, the new PSP handheld.

One of E3's hottest announcements was undoubtedly the unveiling of PSP (PlayStation Portable), an all new handheld entertainment platform from Sony Computer Entertainment. In case you missed our earlier story on PSP (conveniently situated under the Related Stories link to your left), it's an all singing, all dancing handheld entertainment system that'll play games, music and video, and much more besides. The system is based around the Universal Media Disc (UMD), a 60mm double-sided optical disc that can house up to 1.8GB of data.




We'd love to be able to show you PSP's 4.5" 16:9 (widescreen) ratio TFT LCD monitor, its (no doubt) sleek casing and ergonomic control interface, but unfortunately we're not expecting to see a prototype of PSP for some time yet. What we can show you, however, is the Universal Media Disc, which you'll eventually be feeding into your PSP. It might not look much, but consider what'll fit on there and you might start to feel a slight tingling of excitement. Snugly cased in a plastic cartridge, the UMD is capable of storing three times as much information as a PS one disc. Or, if you prefer, around two hours of high resolution full motion video playback at DVD quality.

Pretty much all the other information we have can be found in our earlier story. We don't know anything else about the games, the exact European launch date or the other Sony devices that'll use UMD. What we do know about PSP is this: we really, really want one. Stay tuned to PlayStation.com for further details as we get 'em.
