Find out how portable gaming has changed forever with some essential facts about the exciting next generation portable entertainment system.
Ultimate Portable Entertainment
NGP is approximately 182mm in width, 18.6mm in depth and 83.5mm in height, which makes it as portable as PSP-3000. Comfort plays a big part in NGP's design, featuring a sleek Super Oval Design to fit snugly in your hands without sacrificing its smooth good looks. Speaking of which...
A feast for your eyes
As PSP has already proved, portability is no excuse for poor quality displays. Which is why NGP is equipped with a brilliant organic light emitting diode (OLED) 5-inch screen for incredible picture quality. You can treat yourself to rich, visually striking graphics never seen before on a portable entertainment system. So no matter what form of entertainment you're enjoying - movies, videogames or other digital content - NGP has the visual power to dazzle.
Why you're always in control
Videogames are all about versatile and engaging entertainment - so why limit the possibilities? NGP expands your options with its impressive range of controls which ensure you always have your scintillating gameplay at hand. The glossy OLED 5-inch display is also a touch screen, capable of picking up multiple touches at the same time. A revolutionary touch pad at the back of the system means three-dimensional hand motions such as pulling and grabbing are also easy.
None of this means you'll be without options for more traditional game experiences. NGP packs a variety of buttons and two analog sticks, as well as motion sensing functions that react when you tilt and turn the system. Your portable gaming experience has never been so capable, no matter what type of game you're playing.
Have a blast with the freshest games
NGP is dedicated to bringing you some of the highest quality videogame entertainment on a portable device. With its unique and versatile control options, you can expect unique experiences. Don't forget that some of the biggest PlayStation exclusive series will be hitting the system as well, such as Uncharted, Killzone and WipEout.
If you're a PSP owner already, any PSP titles you have previously downloaded from PlayStation Store will be playable on NGP, along with minis and PS one Classics. You'll also be able to download new NGP games and other content directly from PlayStation Store. For non-downloadable games, NGP uses an innovative flash based memory card which stores full software titles, any add-on game content and game save data.
More than games
NGP can do so much more than just play games. You can go online with an Internet browser to check your favourite sites and web based emails, and take advantage of all the thrilling content on PlayStation Store. So you can stream and download all the newest films from the PlayStation Store Video Store and read the freshest comic books from the PlayStation Store Comic Store.
Equally as important is PlayStation Suite, which gives you access to great new content. Developed to offer PlayStation quality games on Android operating system portable devices (such as mobile phones and tablet PCs), newly created content for PlayStation Suite will also become available for NGP. The result will be a broad and ever expanding range of entertainment available for you.
Stay connected
NGP features Bluetooth, Wireless and 3G connectivity so whether you're chatting to friends online or blasting through a game with your mates, your portable fun is completely connected. You'll be pleased to know that PlayStation Network is also integrated, so you'll be able to use your existing PSN account on NGP for a seamless transition between PlayStation systems. Services such as your friends list and trophies are fully supported and shopping from PlayStation Store is a breeze.
Features
