New device connects Sony PSP to any television

A new device dubbed 'PSP ON TV' will allow all Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) owners to have the choice of playing their games and movies on any television, or even on huge projection screens. Asian Toy Source, an innovative video game accessory company in Hong Kong, has just announced their new PSP ON TV video game accessory product will be ready very soon.

The user simply clips the PSP-ON-TV device to any Sony PlayStation Portable, and in seconds video is being displayed on any television display. It's so easy, no tools are required for installation, and you do not need to open the PSP to install. It is truly a Plug-and-Play user experience, and people will be playing their games & movies on the big screen just seconds after opening the package. The PSP-ON-TV product does not void Sony's warranty or any other 3rd party 'Extended Warranty', which retailers such as Best Buy offer to their customers.

Having just finished a hugely successful launch at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair 2005 we are now prepared to reveal the product's support website. The product specific website ishttp://www.PSPonTV.comwhere there are plenty of teaser videos to whet any rabid video gamer's appetite. Since the product is not scheduled to hit market until November, the company has prepared some pre-launch videos.

Even PSP formatted videos are available online. Just save these special movies on your PSP and watch them on-the-go.

The Sony PSP screen is a relatively small 2"x3.5" inch LCD 480 x 272 pixel high-resolution screen, which is great for on-the-go gaming fun. But what about all these UMD movies Hollywood is releasing?

Apparently it is just not much fun to get muscle cramps, headaches, and eye spasms while watching a blockbuster film in the palm of your hand. You just cannot compare a 3 inch display vs. 63 inches...or perhaps even 123+ inches with an inexpensive LCD projector. Wouldn't it be much better to share the entire PSP Experience with a room full of people?

New PSP exclusive game titles such as Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories, are designed only for Sony PSP, and would not normally be allowed to be seen on the big screen. However with PSP On TV, people can experience these Playstation2 quality games on a large TV screen.

The PSP ON TV product is expected to have a Q4 release in November 2005, with a MSRP of $99.95usd and be available for sale via both online and brick-and-mortar retail stores. There will be a long list of retailers on the website alongside the manufacturer's full technical support.

Asian Toy Source believes this is a timely product release. With the release of Sandisk's 2GB and the upcoming 4Gigabyte Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo, all PSP owners will have the ability to watch hours of their home movies, or convert DVD, MPEG, or DivX videos to watch on the PSP. What better way to enjoy such content, than on a larger screen?
