US Playstation.Blog... blog about the conference.

@AlanJohn, Wi-Fi doesn't mean Ad Hoc.

 

[Nujui]

... But if theres no Wi-Fi how the f*ck do you play multi-player?

I bought my GO for 90$ and it has Wi-Fi...
Sony could have just make the GO for 50$ and release about 20 free awesome games, big N wouldn't even stand a chance...

Ad Hoc with friends around you.

Ad Hoc party.

Or Xlink Kai.

The DS was marketed at people who don't like video games.

Say what? I disagree, I leave it at that.

Anyway, a non-wifi psp is kinda weird, but I admit it does look good.

So no-wifi psp, psp,psv, and psv 3g.

I see.

I prefer the psv...

I was thinking on buying a psp, but i will buy a megaman X action figure instead

There were a lot of people before saying that Sony was giving up on the PSP. I guess we can put that speculation to rest.

I can't wait to see what kind of new AP devilry Sony infuses into this new model. Better snap up those old Go's and 3000's while they last, kids.

the E-1000 (that what the new psp wifi free)
it EU ONLY

Update: PlayStation Blog Europe has posted a few more details about the device. The new PSP will be dubbed the E-1000 and will feature the same matte finish as the PlayStation 3 slim console. As the handheld will lack WiFi, the only way to connect to the PlayStation Store will be via Sony's Media Go software. So, uh, we hope there aren't any Mac users among the E-1000's prospective buyers.

A range of discounted UMD titles is also planned to launch alongside the device, including EyePet Adventures, Invizimals: The Lost Tribes and FIFA 12. Each game in the new lineup will be priced at €9.99.

Strangely, another feature completely lacking from the E-1000: Liquid metal

That makes it even more weird.

 

[prowler]

That makes it even more weird.

... weirdly good for Europe.

EDIT:

Spoiler: Some good pictures of the sexy E-1000

 

[Snailface]

That makes it even more weird.

EU only--WTF? Maybe its due to the system not being able to be sold for $99 at a profit. Damn exchange rates.

Oh well, you Europeans will be happy with your new CFW-free model.

Spoiler

Then I'll eat my words when it gets hacked, lol.

For now, that is. It may change later, this is an EU oriented event and it does say

No mention was made of a launch in other territories, but we'll let you know as soon as we hear something!

Having looked at those pics, no wonder it's cheap....they forgot the brightness and note buttons.

 

[ojsinnerz.]

Sony only started making a profit with PS3 a year or two around, did they not? So what, are they betting everything on software again?

Meanwhile, the new PSP's design looks rather odd to me, but it sounds nice. Vita is Vita, still awesome.

 

[Satangel]

If the battery life is increased proportionally and if it gets fully hacked, I'm thinking of picking this up.

Good eye.
I wonder if that's a touch panel strip? I just hope it's not like the 3DS's stiff buttons.

 

[KingVamp]

Did not notice,but I doubt those to things alone would make it so cheap...

I did notice that now the buttons are kinda like the 3DS's. (No, I'm not saying they copied)

Oh, come on...

They are not that hard to click.

I'm guessing they're on the top like on the PSP Go.

 

[Gahars]

Very, very nice indeed.

Now that the PS3 and 360 are closer in price, I am curious as to how it will affect sales. Also, the cheap new PSP looks nice, but I'm not sure how many people will be willing to buy it with the Vita just around the corner.

 

[shakirmoledina]

ah and i am buying one ps3 for $400. 99 dollars for psp huh but i thought go was last
eh there is still life in the psp

 

[Snailface]

This is very interesting. I posted the new PSP news at Wololo.net and some1 (famous PSP exploit coder) gave an interesting response:

me:

New PSP model announced at Gamescon: (new design, reduced price, no Wifi, Europe only) --is this the 11g? hmm...
some1:
QUOTEI was thinking the same thing. Nymphaea told me that it might only have adhoc, so I looked at the 11g tables, and wlan_firmware is missing (even though wlan.prx is still there), and netfront is also missing, while all the pspnet adhoc files are still there.

Seems as though the new PSP will ship with 6.60? (given that firmware seems to account for it's feature reduction)

Also, the cheap new PSP looks nice, but I'm not sure how many people will be willing to buy it with the Vita just around the corner.

I'm considering getting it.
Reasons being is that I'll have access to the all the PSP games (UMD and PSN) plus having the PSN games on the Vita and might be able to transfer saves (make it so, Sony).
Sony can't really force publishers to make their games appear digitally so it's a good move that they release a cheap sexy PSP model.

All I need on a PSP is Dissidia 012 and Gods Eater Burst to keep me happy (Dissidia 012 isn't available on PSN in EUR and Gods Eater Burst is only available on PSN. Retarded, I know), everything else is a plus I guess.

inb4justpirate. I'm trying to slowly go legit with my games, pirating really does spoil it.
