E3 2009: PSP GO officially confirmed

During their E3 2009 keynote speech, Sony confirmed the PSP GO. They also confirmed that the new iteration of the handheld wouldn't make the PSP-3000 or UMD obsolete and that they intended to continue to support both in the future, even after the PSP GO is released.

Kaz Hirai introduced the PSP GO to the crowd, stating that it is 50% smaller and 40% lighter than the original PSP. It has 16gb of internal memory, and is set for release on October 1, 2009 in the US and Europe for $249 US.

By the way, if you're keen on the PSP Go! or just want to read-up on it more, Gizmodo has a whole stack of articles about the new device, the games and the accessories... The plenty of high-quality pictures and some of the articles even feature video:

Some people (including some gaming industry folk) consider the Apple iPhone range to be an indirect competitor to the Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable) and Nintendo DS range, so it might also be worth noting that the upcoming "iPhone 2009 model" is expected to have 32GB+ built-in...

Yet another reason the PSP Go! needs more BUILT-IN storage, particularly as it will compete DIRECTLY with the iPhone range in the "portable multimedia device" category, and indirectly in the "gaming" category (as was mentioned above).

I'm not convinced.

I mean, I'll probably still buy one due to the fact that with regards to my kids, it will be more durable (particularly without physical media), but sorry Sony, I'm not convinced on the new design...


For a start, the button placement looks like it'd take some getting used to and just 16GB built-in?

I can buy a 300GB+ HDD (hard disk drive) for about $AU150, so I find it hard to believe that they couldn't have bumped it up a little without affecting the price too much... At least 30GB would've been nice.

Some more info on PSP GO www.thesixthaxis.com/

Remember PSP GO is just an option for digital distribution. PSP 1000 - 3000 will still be supported with firmware updates and UMDs. I'm all for digital distribution and find that I download more games from the PS Store for my PSP than I buy on disc so its perfect.

The PSP Go is like the Gameboy Micro in relation to the Gameboy SP Advance.

What are the advantages over the PSP 3000 in terms of video and audio experiences?

Is it faster?
