So does the PSP really have 7.1 channels? If so, wtf does this mean when it's only got a headphone jack? Is it like DPLII Plus Super Mega?

I think the critical bit of information in that article can be found at the very end where it says:
"By Staff, GameSpot POSTED: 07/29/03 11:23 AM"
After looking at the system specifications on Sony's US website, no mention of 7.1ch "3D" sound is anywhere to be found. It's just Sony's 2 year old hype engine still chugging along. -
Yep just more sony hype i dont think the psp has av in and out either does it.Comment

Maybe it's for using with these 450 quid headphones?
Sounds like someone from the PR department speaking without a clue.Comment

Genius! I heard the new PS3 is going to have 4D ultra-realistic effects.
Anyway, that 7.1 thing was widely reported. Was it Sony giving out the info or just gamespot?Comment

Wierd. Who would even want it as a feature? Unless they start selling a PSP dock that lets you hook up the PSP to your hifi, when is it going to be used? Even then it would be easier just to use the hifi.Comment

I questioned it at the time, but no-one seemed to care (lost in the hype!)Comment

I suspect what happened was that 7.1 capability is part of the UMD spec, and not the PSP. Since both items were unveiled together, wires got crossed.Comment

Ah, good point that man.Comment

I think that it has 5.1, but only when you hook it up through a pair of decent headphone's.Surround sound is pretty redundant in headphone's to me, it just does not feel the same as actually hearing the noise from the back or corner of a room.
The only way you could truly find out is to test it I suppose, how you would go about doing that is something for one of the sound expert's on the board.Comment
