More alleged PlayStation Phone details

psphone_bSony may still be refusing to comment on anything concrete about the PlayStation Phone, but the alleged details just keep pouring in. From "mind-blowing" displays to speculated release windows, it's just about what every PS fan is waiting for to boost Sony in the handheld front.

 

 

 

Rumors have also been abound that an impending announcement may be set for December 9th. That's just but a week away, and Sony's still yet to address it with even a denial. In the meantime, though, let's feast on these new "details" regarding the PlayStation Phone:

 

 

  • The display is “mind-blowing” and on-par (to the naked eye) with the iPhone 4′s Retina Display. Sony has introduced some Bravia technology into it and leverages on the brand when highlighting the display
  • Won’t ship in time for the holidays and might be aiming for February
  • Off-contract price to be around $500 with 5 free games included
  • Games to be priced around mobile gaming prices, such as sub-$10, unlike the higher price for PSP games
  • The Z-System name is still being thrown around, and while specific details on it aren’t available, it has been used to describe both the gaming platform and the distribution center

 

Now, which among these are you most rooting for? It should only be but a matter of time before Sony spills anything official. This is, after all, too big to pass up on.

hope it ships with something more exclusive than the 1ghz snapdragon...
almost every phone with android made are with the snapdragon CPU, so if it will have similar performance as lets say the nexus one and other 1ghz phones then I don't see why they have to reinvent the wheel...

also if it has similar hardware specs as new HTC and Samsung phones they could instead just focus on making games, and release them on market for only highend android phones, they'd prolly sell 10x more games than they would if there was only one phone capable of playing them...

I was planning to buy iPhone4 sometimes ago but was hesitating because of its well-known issues (and cause my iPhone3G still functioning)

Now I have new goal to wait for, as I always wanted to have a real gaming mobile phone with proper gaming keypad (I owned N-Gage QD before and I know how Nokia sucked with it)

But I have more hope with Sony quality build (except that SonyEricson phones...does suck)

I remembered an article that Sony wasn't satisfied with SE quality build to grant them the PlayStation brand

Let's hope it meet the expectations this time.

Urgh, nothing on earth would make me buy a Sony Ericsson phone. I like my PSP but there's no way I'd ditch something as already established as my iPhone for anything else.

Nice to see a high density display in there. Also nice to hear they've adapted Bravia tech.

Regardless of what BS Sony do... the Bravia has always been a firetruckin piece of kit. I've got a giant in my living room, a 46" one for my bedroom and a little 32" one for the kitchen. Would not trade them for the world.

Some people (not on this post yet I don't think) do not understand market niches .. this obviously is not targeted towards the PSP crowd, hence PSP2 rumors and the fact that this isn't having the PlayStation brand tossed around. I don't think this will take off, honestly .. It'll probably be like the N-Gage.

wither it took off or fail like the "go"!

I think it will end up as "another" risky experiment for Sony that will eventually benefit the PSP2 development.

More importantly, I think it will decide wither a cellular data connection will be a welcomed feature and add to the core experience or not.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/28/sonys-peter-dille-thinks-the-psp-could-use-a-cellular-data-conn/


Anyway, If it worked well it can be a good transitional step with some content ready for PSP2.

So some games/minis will be released on PSPhone probably can be emulated on PSP2.

I think it IS actually targeted at the PSP crowd...you know, "gamers"? I just think the smarter gamers are going to stick with their PSP 1000 and 2000s for obvious reasons till it dies and then some. I'm going to take a pass on this, perfectly happy with my cell and 2000. I do agree that the supposed psp2 is more anticipated and that this will somewhat mirror what happened with the N-Gage.

by off contract do they mean they will sell unlocked PSPhones for $500? if so, that is cheaper than an unlocked iphone.

"Off-contract price to be around $500 with 5 free games included"

Wow...that's like PS3-IPO-like and we know how what's in the PS3.
