PSPgo, the Newest Evolution in Handheld Entertainment, Available Today
Stylish design and digital content focus make PSPgo the must-have portable device.
October 1, 2009 – FOSTER CITY, Calif., Oct. 1 – Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced that PSPgo system (PSP-N1000) is now available in North America for $249.99 (MSRP). An evolution of the PSP platform, the PSPgo system is specifically suited to the lifestyle of today’s consumers who prefer digital entertainment. To support the PSPgo system and all existing PSP models, SCEA now offers 16,000 pieces of digital content for PSP owners on PlayStation Network, from blockbuster games to hit movies and popular TV shows. A tidal wave of new digital content will launch today, including the highly anticipated Gran Turismo from Polyphony Digital, Electronic Arts’ Tetris, which will be placed in the new “minis” section on PlayStation Store, and titles from key franchises such as God of War, Madden NFL, and Star Wars Battlefront. Additionally, thousands of movies and TV shows will be available for download, including new episodes from the fall TV season, the day after they air.
The ultimate gaming and entertainment device, the PSPgo system features a sleek pocket-sized design that’s more than 50 percent smaller and more than 40 percent lighter than the original PSP-1000. PSPgo incorporates a sliding screen that is both practical for the system’s space-saving design and aesthetically appealing. The PSPgo system is designed for the portable digital lifestyle, offering 16GB of internal flash memory to store plenty of games, videos, music, and photos. The system also offers expandable storage through a slot that fits a Memory Stick Micro, an ultra-small card the size of a thumbnail with a current capacity of up to 16GB. The current PSP-3000 and the UMD format will continue to be available, providing consumers with the option to choose the PSP that’s right for them.
“We’ve been saying that 2009 is the year of the PSP platform, and with today’s launch of the PSPgo system along with the flood of PSP digital content now available on PlayStation Network, we’re delivering on that promise,” said Peter Dille, senior vice president, marketing and PlayStation Network, SCEA. “The consumer appetite for digital content continues to grow, and PSPgo is the first dedicated gaming handheld to fully address the demand for an all-digital entertainment device.”
The PSP go system will be available in “Piano Black” and “Ceramic White,” and will include a demo of popular rhythm action title Patapon 2 pre-loaded onto the system’s memory. In addition, a pre-loaded interactive ESRB application explains ESRB Ratings and Content Descriptors and provides instructional videos on how to setup the PSPgo’s parental controls.
Consumers will be able to download games and entertainment content from PlayStation Store directly onto their PSPgo system via Wi-Fi; through a PC using the Media Go application; or by transferring from a PS3 system. The Media Go application has been updated with a new look and feel, offering an enhanced shopping experience. PSP owners can visit us.playstation.com/psn/mediago to download Media Go and for more details.
In addition, participating retailers will be selling PlayStation Network Game Cards beginning with the launch of PSPgo. These cards will provide consumers an additional option to purchase their favorite digital games at retail, and the initial lineup of cards includes Daxter, God of War: Chains of Olympus, Gran Turismo, MotorStorm: Arctic Edge, among others. The PlayStation Network Game Cards complement the PlayStation Network Cards currently available in $10, $20 and $50 increments.

Marketing Campaign
To support the launch of the PSPgo system, an aggressive marketing campaign will deliver broad awareness of the sleek new device, while educating consumers about the all-digital focus. The campaign will leverage a variety of media, including national television, print, online, out-of-home, promotional support, and dedicated point-of-purchase displays and merchandising efforts at retail. A TV spot began airing nationally this week on national primetime and cable, and additional awareness will be driven out-of-home through wild postings, bus shelters, and other outdoor media in New York and Los Angeles. The PSPgo system also will be integrated within PlayStation Home, the 3D social gaming community for PS3 users, driving additional awareness of PSPgo among the loyal PlayStation fan base.

MARKY, is the d-pad better then the old psp slim??
Great, you get to pay for all your old games AGAIN. Completely pointless if you already had a PSP.
This is disgusting!!! I am far from ready to give up physical disks. So will Tekken 6 be download only, or will they be releasing it on UMD?
Me too but. . .it will sell as umd and download :)
Awesome!! Thank you, you just made my night better! I must say the idea of being able to play psone titles is intriguing, but not enough to spend $50 less than a new PS3!!! What are you thinkin Sony?!?!?!
You cant forget that when sony realeased the first psp in 2004 it was 1995 ;)
So sony is treating the psp go like they did the psp fat when it launched.
$250. . .nuff said
Also,The psp go will probably start too compete with the ZUNE HD. . .
I didn’t know they even sold Zune’s anymore, I thought they faded away after realizing they couldn’t compete with iPod?
They do but,nobody uses them ;)
LOL psp go and ipod touch FTW!!
