Sony‘s press conference today at E3 2009 saw the official announcement of the new PSP Go. Now here’s John Koller with a quick walkthrough of what the new device brings to the handheld table.
If you’re still waiting for the video to load (or you just don’t wanna watch it), here are a few PSP Go facts:
- The most portable PSP ever, PSP go is more than 50 percent smaller and more than 40 percent lighter than the original PSP we launched in 2005
- A stylish sliding screen maintains the high resolution and vibrant visuals of the PSP-3000
- Replacing the UMD drive is 16GB of internal flash memory to store plenty of games, videos, music, and photos
- Memory Stick Micro slot offers expandable storage up to 16GB
- Bluetooth support
- Launch date is October 1
Since this is a digital-centric handheld, three of the upcoming big games for the PSP will also be available as digital downloads: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the new Resident Evil game, and LittleBigPlanet PSP.
The one thing I’m concerned about — and I know a lot of you are too — is what are we going to do with our old UMD games if we ever decide to splurge on the Go? Sadly, Sony still hasn’t laid down any official announcements about it, apart from saying that they will “remain committed to the UMD format”. Oh, and the price! US$ 249 is just a bit too high for me.
Well, what do you guys think? Sound off in the comments section.
