 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - First "Star Wars" movies, then Harry Potter books. Now, Sony Corp.'s new PlayStation Portable is getting the midnight-release treatment reserved for the most hyped of pop culture products.
What remains to be seen is whether the handheld entertainment system can live up to consumer expectations — and whether Sony has manufactured enough to meet demand.
Sony said Wednesday it had stocked North American retailers with 1 million units for Thursday's launch. With gamers expected to line up in anticipation, many stores were planning midnight hours to get the units on sale at the first possible moment.
