New PSP, PSP Go featured in leaked video

new sony psp go

There is a leaked video showing an interview with director of hardware marketing at Sony. There are not much details revealed about PSP Go, but just some features enough to entice mobile gamers.

Here are some of the features:
- 3.8inch screen, down from PSP-3000′s 4.3inch
- 16GB memory
- bluetooth (rumoured to be compatible with 3G phones)
- Kamagra Gold smaller size and potentially better battery life
- 43% lighter than the PSP-3000

If you’re looking to port your games from PSP, bad news is you might not able to do that. Other than that, the PSP Go is a much better mobile gaming device from Sony. However, there are some interesting games revealed in the video to cover up this lost; Little Big Planet, Gran Turismo and a new Metal Gear Solid.

Another rumoured feature, touch screen sensitivity is not revealed in the video. With a touch screen technology and an onscreen predictive keyboard (like the iPhone), it could have solved the awkward internet browsing experience which exist since the first version of the Sony PSP.

The price? Well, this PSP Go will compete head to head with Nintendo DSi and iPhone(surprise?). Expect it to be pricier than Nintendo DSi and cheaper than iPhone(of course!). More detailed features will be reveal to the public in E3. While waiting for that, here are some pictures for the new PSP Go.

The video of the interview can be viewed here.

updated 3/6/2009:
-it seems like the price announced by Sony will be USD249, and that’s priced competitive to Nintendo DSi.
-it will be available in North America in October, while the Sony’s country of origin will have to wait till November, strange.
