Closeups of the PSP

Impress AV Watch got their sweaty mitts on a working PSP at Sony's PlayStation Meeting, and have all sorts of closeups of the little critter. Even if our enthusiasm has been dampened somewhat by the wild reports that the PSP's battery will have to be worn on your wrist and that it will only support ATRAC3 (the latter perhaps only wild in the sense that Sony is contemplating messing up its flagship product), this still looks chilly cool. The idea of 16-player gaming over WiFi also sounds deeply agreeable.

Could someone send some of those paramilitary-looking right-wing guys in black trucks round to the bit of Sony that developed ATRAC and have them chant about it being an instrument of Western imperialism that's a blight on the Japanese race or something, please? Nothing else seems likely to stop them.
