Sony may not be producing another PSP, but Zara has brought the handheld back to life as a crossbody bag.
Zara's PSP-inspired crossbody bag is a retro gaming themed accessory priced at $36.
The PlayStation Portable (PSP), which was discontinued over ten years ago, still holds a place in pop culture. Zara has recently revitalized this nostalgic device with a crossover item: a crossbody bag modeled after the PSP 1000.
The Zara PSP Crossbody Bag is as quirky and charming as its name suggests. This surprise drop was released without any announcements or marketing efforts, yet the retro gaming community has already taken note.
What does the bag resemble?
The bag is a relatively compact crossbody with the front face designed as a silicone replica of the PSP 1000, featuring detailed elements. It includes embossed buttons, logos on both the front and back, an analog nub, and a vinyl panel that mimics the signature 4.3-inch widescreen display.
The adjustable shoulder strap also showcases PSP branding, alongside the iconic triangle, circle, cross, and square shapes. Clearly, Zara aimed for a product that doesn't feel like a cheap imitation, and the final design reflects that.
With dimensions of 4.3 x 7.9 x 2 inches, it features a main zipper compartment and is constructed from polyurethane thermoplastic for the front with a silicone overlay, along with a polyester shell and lining.
How much does it cost, and where can it be found?
Currently, the Zara PSP Crossbody Bag retails for $35.90 in the United States and £19.99 in the United Kingdom, available via Zara’s official website and physical stores. It is offered solely in black.
The presence of a trademark symbol on the website suggests that there may be a licensed agreement between Zara and Sony, although neither has confirmed this partnership.
At a price of $35.90, it could be one of the most budget-friendly pieces of PSP memorabilia you might acquire, but this is contingent on the PSP's significance to you.

Discord is now natively compatible with ARM-based laptops, and the company's download page now features separate versions for Windows x64 and ARM64 for the desktop application.
