psp cam


After the much-hyped up introduction of the PSP camera, Sony is now ready to release it to the market.

Starring in the Tokyo Game Show on September 22, the much-awaited PSP camera will finally be showcased, along with the GPS receiver unit. But the PSP camera's debut is not the only event that is being watched out for. On that same show, gamers can, for the first time, actually test the PS3 from a range of 27 titles. Games like Warhawk, Ridge Racer 7, Fatal Inertia, Heavenly Sword to mention a few are available in  Sony's booth.

A navigation software will also be displayed, though not much is known about it. The guess is that there will be different versions with navigation data specific to each country. The booths will have special access points where you can download the trial version of new games on a Memory Stick and later play on the PSP.

The source says that the camera, GPS, and PS3 will be showcased at the show, but it doesn't say that's when they will be launched.

I like the water effect when I move myself side to side, cuz I went to E3 this year and its awesome! I even saw two memory stick pro duos, a 4GB and a 8GB! Then I saw the Playstation Spot to downloads Loco Roco Demo but I didn't, cuz I have 1.50, lol! I can tell the Camera will drains the battery fast, cuz of add-on.

 » hmm

Does anybody know if ithe camera has a flash? cause if it doesnt it will prob take shyt pictures, how about zooming in and out? and the price?

Now the GPS sounds cool if its at a nice price.

hey madonion dont u think that the little cube on the left is the flash thing

   by DUMB BASS S*****A (Unregistered) - 2006-08-23
 » hey

wow tha first ever massivly made video phone............with this theres no more need for that *****ty side kick thing


youll actually be able to speak and see some one as long as you have a hot spot nearby and as ive heard the whole u.s. will be blanketed with a free stong hotspot connected all the time.....paid for by all the add companys that want you to swee there products anywhere anytime

the only other video phones ive seen are the ones on the new broadcasting from iraq to the u.s

why isnt this a BIG DEAL?

hopefully sony wont just make a low end camera and maby might make higher quality for people that are into it

can any body help me? i have been wanting to get a good top quality SONY cybershot camera but im only interested if i can take my memory card strait out of it and view them on my psp because i remember that a while ago i tried to view some bmp pictures i drew that were 3mb each on it but the psp said that "picture cannot be viewed file too large 2607kb" or something like that

what is the limit of megapixels viewable on the psp?

i wanted a 7.5 or 10 megapixel camera or better

Its multiplyer.Its called, psp-porn. You just strip in front of the low-end/quality psp camera, then the other players that are watching you online are gonna rate a score for you. Do your best to get the highest score.

This sony addon is lame and is too late..
