A 3.8-inch screen, 16 gigs flash memory, Bluetooth support and all digital content, makes the PSP Go 43% lighter than the PSP-3000. Sony says the PSP Go will go on sale in October and cost €249 (£214) in Europe and $249 (£149) in North America. The new handheld is seen by many as a direct rival to Nintendo's DSi, which went on sale in April this year.



Sony also announced a number of new games at the event for both PSP and PS3, including Little Big Planet, Motorstorm, Metal Gear Solid, God of War III, and Final Fantasy XIV. The firm also said that it was reducing by 80% the cost of PSP developer kits - the tools external companies require before they can produce software that will work on the PSP operating system - to encourage third party developers to produce more games for the handheld device.
