Check it out from what shows at the E3 PSP Booth!



Here's the first shot of Sony's upcoming camera attachment for the PSP. This shot was taken by journalists at this years E3 gaming expo in LA. To me, it looks just like a smaller EyeToy, but it does fit in well with the PSP's styling, and should look something like this when it comes out in September.

It looks like it will eat up the PSP's battery life too. Most UMD games can get 4 hours out of the PSP whilst on the lowest brightness setting, but I'm willing to bet that this peripheral will half that.

Pretty neat eh?

Sony Japan had unveiled the launch dates, prices, and specifications of the official PSP GPS and camera peripherals. The camera, which had been available in Japan since November 2 at a recommended retail price of ¥5,000 (approx. $43 US), is a 1.3 Megapixel affair capable of shooting both stills and 30fps video in conjunction with a built-in microphone. The GPS receiver will be available just over a month after the camera on December 7, and will be priced at ¥6,000 (approx. $51 US). Although the camera is bundled with software that will let you add effects to photos after they are taken, the GPS receiver doesn't come with any mapping software -- the (semi) good news is that carrying cases will be included with the two devices. Both peripherals will work with a handful of different PSP games, although it's not clear exactly how at present. At present, I've seen the camera got bundled with some Nintendogs-style game lol I guess the camera had already reached Malaysia, yes?



Just in case you are wondering 1.3 MP is around 1280 x 960 pixels on the web or 5" x 7" printed. That is extremely low considering the camera standards are now 3 MP+, maybe even more. At the end it’s up to you whether you will be shelling out money for the PSP Camera

Here is a picture of the Digital camera for the PSP handheld, and it definitely fits the handheld perfectly:





<-- Tokyo Games Show 2006

The GPS looks kinda chunky though to be carry around, maybe it'll be best to use in a car

Well, I'm sure everyone is dying to know of the full specs for both
Here's the official link but its in Japanese (dunno if any of u can read).
Just use the Babelfish site to translate for you okie

Only 1.3 mp? Any camera phone can beat that already. I don't think will need it anywhere.
