PlayStation Portable takes over retail spaces around London

London's hottest shopping district is showing off their retail space for Sony's handheld console, the PlayStation Portable. The temporary retail spaces are designed to showcase the PSP and its line-up, as well as giving visitors some insight into the history of handheld gaming and media with a small exhibit of retro consoles and devices.

The first store opened at Seven Dials, near Covent Garden, at the end of September - while the second, on Great Titchfield Street in Soho, is a more recent addition, and more locations may well open in the coming weeks.

Photos of the Soho location are located at the bottom. The store is designed as a sampling space rather than a retail outlet like the nearby Apple store, but nonetheless, it is Sony's first step into the UK retail outlets.
