Hands-on With the PSP Go

Posted by Soulskill on from the not-suitable-for-feet dept.

ANkleStrong writes "Sony Corp unveiled on Tuesday a smaller, lighter PlayStation handheld game device called the PSP Go, in a race to catch rival Nintendo in an intensely competitive mobile games arena." E3 attendees were able to take the new Sony handheld for a test drive, and more pictures and videos are now available. It's set to be released on October 1st, and will retail for $249. A new Resident Evil game is being designed specifically for the updated hardware, and Metal Gear Peace Walker is coming as well.

    Once again Sony is probably overpricing the market. Sony would love to wipe the venerable DS off the face of the planet, but the DS is what, $130 or $180 for the DSi?

    Sony is asking for way more money than usual, same as usual. Nintendo will sell way more units, same as usual...

    You know, at these sizes, a smaller display, with retained pixel count, means *more* expensive, not less. Higher DPI, you know, trickier to manufacture.
