Sony PSP Go to hit UK in October
'Worst kept secret' official
In an announcement branded by Sony as “the worst kept secret of E3”, the electronics giant has officially unveiled the PlayStation Portable Go.
Sony's PSP Go: will land here in October
Despite the UMD-less handheld console’s existence slipping out earlier this week in an allegedly leaked promotional video, Sony Computer Entertainment’s boss, Kaz Hirai, still managed to reveal one snippet of previously unknown information: the PSP Go will be available on 1 October.
The date applies to both Europe and North America, where it’ll cost €249 (£215) and $249 (£150), respectively.
Sadly, because of the video leak, Hirai didn’t have much else to add other than to say that the PSP Go’s 50 per cent smaller and 40 per cent lighter than previous models. ®

re: £250
It's actually very good price for. £250 gets you a 16GB iPod Touch, or a 16GB PSP.
The iPod, error plays music (badly) and plays some mediocre games.
The PSP plays music very well (as like Walkmans, PSP sound pretty darn good), and it's also got a sweet selection of games.
I take it you missed the bit about Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Pixel Junk Monsters all getting PSP versions.. Several of them release titles...

The website's called Register Hardware for a very good reason - we're all about hardware. As such, we restrict our videogame coverage to the biggest/best/highest selling titles. We're aware that opinions of which titles fall into those categories will differ from person to person, but we limit our videogames coverage to ensure we concentrate our time on bringing you the best, freshest and most interesting stories from the land of hardware. We can’t cover it all – we’re only 1/3 cyborg!
@Mark
I agree, these exclusive titles should of been included in this article.
Or given their own article, 800 cars, 60 tracks - would like to see that on the iphone... haha by the time its loaded the battery would be flat.
The E3 coverage by this site is terrible, why have a "gaming" section if your not going to use it properly!?!?
re: Europe
No it's because
a) The £ is not as strong as it once was.
b) There is import dutry levvied on goods manufacturered outside the EU
c) There is a 1yr minimum manufacturers warranty period in Europe (in US it's 3 months).
d) Thare are many more regions to support.
All these things cost money. God I hate "bedroom experts"...
well that will sell well!! not!
£250?! your having a girraffe! for that money id be needing a total architecture update, HD display, camera and gps, 10hour battery, 3g and a blow job!
unless the developers are going to release some new games for the platform, its gonna be a non starter, PSP titles are plentiful, but expensive and dated... I know Ive bought a total of 0 games for my psp in the past year!
£100 more than a DSi? if it was £150 id almost consider it... cant deny, it does look rather nice though!
