    November 5, 2003 - PSP concept art revealed!

         --Yes, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for, I know.  Sony just released the first concept art for it’s upcoming portable gaming console, the PSP.  Now before you get your get into your car and drive down to your local Toys’R’Us and pre-order one, you must realize that this is just concept art and that the final version won’t be unveiled till E3 in May 2004 most likely.  Yes, this probably the direction Sony is going it, but it is by no means a final copy.  Personally I think they’re on a good track and you can bet your Mushroom Kingdom I’ll be getting one!
