Sony finally revealed the official details of the PSP Go!

Pricing and launch date:

• US – $249 – 1st October 2009
• Europe – Euro 249 – 1st October 2009
• Japan – 26,800 yen – 1st November 2009

Specification:

• 3.8-inch Display
• No UMD
• 16GB Flash memory
• Available in Piano Black and Pearl White
• Sliding Display
• Bluetooth (connect to headset/PS3 controller)

I think the price is a bit expensive since the current PSP-3000 core pack is currently selling at $170 at Amazon. [PSP 3000 Core Pack - Black]

Someone just leaked the detail of the new Sony PSP Go! I hope that this is not a PR stunt by Sony, coz this is probably going to spoil their E3 press conference. The pic above look very legit (and high quality press release photo), so I doubt that this is a fake.

The design of the PSP Go! is very similar to Sony’s existing PMP, the Mylo. I wonder if Sony is just recycling the unsold Mylo to the new PSP. ^_^;;;

The possible spec of the PSP Go!:

• 3.8-inch display
• Almost half the weight of the PSP-3000
• 16GB storage
• Built-in Bluetooth
• No UMD drive

Just few more days left till E3! This year’s E3 is going to be interesting because it is switching back to the ‘old format’, which means that it will be bigger than previous year. The date of the expo is 2-4 June 2009 and will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Some of the important press conferences that you should take note: (sorted chronologically)

• Microsoft – 1st June 2009, 10.30am PST (2nd June 2009, 1.30am Malaysia time)
• EA – 1st June 2009, 2pm PST (2nd June 2009, 5am Malaysia time)
• Ubisoft – 1st June 2009, 5pm PST (2nd June 2009, 8am Malaysia time)
• Nintendo – 2nd June 2009, 9am PST (3rd June 2009, 12am Malaysia time)
• Sony – 2nd June 2009, 1am PST (3rd June 2009, 2am Malaysia time)

I wonder what big announcement that we can expect in these press conferences???
