Sony PSP Go Plays Games, Videos and Music

June 4th, 2009

Sony on Tuesday unveiled the new evolution of its PSP handheld gaming device. Dubbed the PSP Go, the model hopes to compete with Nintendo’s market-leading DS and fend off Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch.The PSP Go will come to market Oct. 1 and sell for $250. That compares to $169 for the current PSP-3000 edition, but Sony has added some bells and whistles it is betting will make up for the price hike.

Sony is positioning the PSP Go as the ideal solution for customers on the go who want on-demand entertainment. Sony is responding to a market trend for digital content in slimmer form factors by replacing the hard drive with 16GB of flash memory. Consumers can store games, videos, music and photos on the device.
