News of the electronic entertainment expo (E3) event scheduled for June 2 – 4, 2009 has been overshadowed by rumours that Sony is set to launch a new version of its PlayStation Portable (PSP) during their keynote press conference on Tuesday, June 2. According to the BBC, the leak “came after an official video showcasing the new device was mistakenly posted to a Sony website”.
The new console is expected to be smaller with a 3.8-inch screen, 43% lighter than the PSP-3000 and be without the UMD disk slot which will be replaced by a digital download service from the PlayStation Network. It will also support WIFI, Bluetooth and have an integrated 16GB flash memory.
Sony is also expected to release a new slimmed-down PS3 in Fall 2009.
UPDATE: Sony has confirmed that the new PSP Go will not replace the existing PlayStation Portable. The device will go on sale in October 2009 and cost 249 Euros (£214) in Europe and $249 (£149) in North America.

is there are possibility that those guys from the 6.20CFW realease the CFW since there will be a new version on the market?
This week, parts of the PSN will come back to life for the first time in nearly two weeks. But is Sony’s “thank you” to consumers enough?
I am so tired of companies releasing a new model of something every year. It seems like I can barely re-buy the platform and all of the games before they go re-releasing something and I have to buy it all over again. This is a bad trend in electronics, and I really wish I could live without them totally…
nice posting thank you
nice informative blog keep it up.
