Interactive City guides for PSP coming September

Sony have confirmed the launch of 'Planet PSP' (Working title) for September 2006. Planet PSP will have interactive City guides for 6 European Cities: Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Paris, Prague and Rome. Each guide has been developed with the young city breaker and frequent traveller in mind and comes packed with information on how to experience the very best places in town - from the latest restaurants to the most underground of clubs - along with videos, audio walks, photography, maps and pre-planned itineraries to suit every sort of visit, and every type of adventurous traveller.

Planet PSP will feature 3 main Information categories:

• Points of interest: Each city has 250 main points of interest covering eating, sleeping, nightlife, shopping and sights with original photography, key information and contact details
• Essential information: The bits you just must know from pharmacies to embassies, hospitals, airlines, money and costs
• Getting around: Comprehensive and detailed zoom-in, zoom-out maps covering transport systems and roads

Planet PSP will also feature audio tours, video content, and Intineraries; and there are plans for more content and map updates to be made available to download  via the Internet after launch. It's a shame this 'game' won't be released before Summer, you'll have to make your summer trip to Europe without this handy application!

I'll leave you with a bit of advice. If you ever find yourself in a foreign country and needing to use Planet PSP, I'd advise you don't flash it around so much. Thieves can Identify foreigners in seconds, especially if your looking up maps on your PSP. It'll be gone before you have the chance to say 'Save me from firmware upgrades'.
