Looks like Sony is reusing their "TOOL" Playstation 2's as part of their PSP development kits. I guess I never realized how similar Playstation 2 and PSP hardware really is. And I'm just guessing, but is that a UMD emulator that uses DVDs instead of Sony's proprietary discs? I know some pirates who would kill for something like that.

Sony has updated the product information page for the "Playstation Portable,they have made details evident such as specific information about the video and audio formats the PSP is capable of playing, as well information regarding how to create supported files.
Sony had previously announced that the PSP would support the playback of MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) video from "UMD" media, and would release video titles. However, they did not make clear any specific details about playback of video files from Memory Stick Duo.
Made clear during the page update was that the PSP will be capable of playing videos in the MP4-standard "Memory Stick Video Format" which have been created using the "Image Converter 2" video conversion software to be released by Sony Marketing. Image Converter 2 is also bundled as "Image Converter 2 for CLIE MP4" with the Clie "VZ90" released in September.
Video files are recorded o要 a Memory Stick Duo, and can be played o要 the PSP. A preview version of the software is planned for release o要 Decmber 13th, the day after the PSP's reelease. Also, movies that have been recorded with digital cameras capable of recording MPEG-4 video, as well as videos recorded with the Cybershot "DSC-M1" can be played o要 the PSP.
Audio files remain the same as was announced in the previous report; in addition to ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 and PCM, it will support the MP3 format. Supported bitrates for ATRAC3 are 66, 105, and 132kbps, while the ATRAC3plus supported bitrates are 48, 64, and 256kbps.
Furthermore, although the PSP can playback data obtained by music distribution services or those purchased with dedicated devices, playback of these files requires that they are recorded o要to a Memory Stick Duo that supports MagicGate (MG). However, MP3 files can also be played from Memory Stick Duos that do not support MagicGate.
Still image support will be in the form of the JPEG format (DCF 2.0 / Exif 2.21). Further information regarding the details of video, audio, and still image playback is planned for explanation of a dedicated page, but the page reads "Planned for early December."

No, just on movies.
Sony has updated their specs now, it's confirmed you can now play mp4 from memory stick. They even recommend some software to do your own conversions. But i think this is only to make up for the lack of actual UMD movie discs available at launch.
As I said before, the majority of PSP owners won't want to sit all that time converting stuff, even if they had a PC. |

Every article I've read about the PSP so far has indicated that the PSP will not have region-locked games. But what's this?This picture taken from the packaging of Namco's "Ridge Racers" software for the PSP, and it clearly depicts to be a "region" icon. So does the PSP have region-locked games? o要e of the PSP's primary developers, Mr. Kawanishi, even indicated otherwise in an interview.
I guess we won't really know until Sony makes an official statement, or the european version of the PSP is released. The icon appears just above the barcode, and has the number "2" in white lettering with an outline of a sphere. Note that Japan's DVD region code is also 2.
