New value-priced PSP model announced

Sony ain't done yet with the PSP. In a moved that might seemed as the portable's last hurrah, the company unveiled today during its Gamescom press conference a brand new PSP E-1000 model. Available only to the European market starting this Fall, this budget-friendly PSP model will go on retail for only €99.99.

"Value for money is the goal with this new model that will retail at just €99.99 (RRP), accompanied by an exciting range of PSP Essentials titles that will retail at only €9.99 (RRP) and will include Invizimals: The Lost Tribe, EyePet Adventures, FIFA 12 and many more," says SCEE in the announcement.

Unfurtunately, the E-1000 model does not include wi-fi, so your only option to play games are either via on UMD or from PlayStation Store via Media Go. The design of the upcoming handheld has also been tweaked a bit, and will come with a Charcoal Black finish, same as the once used on the slimmer PS3 model, giving it a matte finish.

Just last week, Sony also announced a brand new PSP Entertainment Pack which includes a black PSP-3000, a 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, and UMD copies of Madden NFL 12 and Need for Speed Shift.

Seriously, SONY...after the PSP Go, which had less features than the original PSP, do you REALLY think people are going to want something that lacks even more features? Many games that are sold for the PSP have extra content that can be downloaded so this model would reduce a gamer's overall experience. And where are the brightness and mute buttons?

People who have any brains would just but a used standard PSP for the same price or less and still enjoy all of the features.

A bit late don't you think SONY?

# RE: New value-priced PSP model announced — Equin0x 2011-08-16 23:31

Looks sick, too bad it doesn't have wifi and isn't available anywhere else.

+2 # REALLY!!!! — lunas 2011-08-17 00:22

A psp bright lite? seriously just drop the price of the 3000 series to 100

# LOLS — Reids 2011-08-17 00:46

Lols.... it's look like crappy without Wifi Too? No Muliplayer?

# RE: New value-priced PSP model announced — McVader 2011-08-17 00:47

Why release a new psp now that theres only one more game coming out?? They Might as well make a new PS2 while they're at it...

# ... — kjglk 2011-08-17 01:00

no wifi? next...

Looks like Sony wants to make sure that all previous experiences taught them one thing. Homebrew sells hardware.

If it only has 16MB of RAM, I don't see anybody buying this when you can get a used PSP that does more.

# RE: RE: New value-priced PSP model announced — Geecko 2011-08-17 04:21

Only 16MB of RAM is impossible since every PSP game needs at least 32MB.
Then, may 64MB be too much for this new PSP?

# RE: New value-priced PSP model announced — caranquesse 2011-08-17 03:56

at first i was skeptical about this because the psv is coming so why the heck did they do another psp. However on second thoughts since the psp is going to be released this fall at such a price they should be able to increases the sales in europe and maybe some people will even buy the psv later on. About the wifi-less bit, we dont really use internet that much multiplaying in psp is not really a big things besides most psp have cfw on them

+1 # RE: New value-priced PSP model announced — Buzbegone 2011-08-17 04:21

This new one doesn't include wi-fi?
So what's the point of buying this one if you already have a 1000 - Go?

+2 # RE: RE: New value-priced PSP model announced — xnamkcor 2011-08-17 07:10

It's cheap? I guess Sony doesn't know about the used hardware market.

# WTF? — FreePlay 2011-08-17 07:55

No wifi and only 16MB of RAM? Will this even be able to *PLAY* older games, seeing how all other PSPs have at least 32MB?

# hmm — 1ofamillion 2011-08-17 07:56

"only to the European market"

This is being created because hardware is much more expensive in Europe. I don't know why they didn't simply lower the prices over there, but at least they are doing something about it.

+1 # Is Europe the new tech dump — TLC_Nyk 2011-08-17 11:04

Thats a lot of mobos on the shelf.

# RE: New value-priced PSP model announced — dennis96411 2011-08-17 11:27

-_- Just give up now Sony or feel the pain of losing billions of dollars on producing worthless pieces of paperweight.

# RE: New value-priced PSP model announced — M3rror 2011-08-17 12:02

Stressed enough, it is only for Europe. But still it's kinda stupid how $ony runs things. This model may sell barely 1000 units so hopefully $ony will not think everyone is going to switch to this and oversupply it.

# RE: New value-priced PSP model announced — Sucks 2011-08-17 14:02

Matte finsih?
No WiFi?

Looks like a model aimed at younger kids, no? Reminds me of the GBA.

# RE: RE: New value-priced PSP model announced — xnamkcor 2011-08-18 09:17

Except the GBA had a great run and was a good and profitable system.

# MONO! — ski 2011-08-18 00:54

I cant believe they don't mention (and no one else has noticed) the SINGLE speaker on the left... MONO! LOL!

# RE: MONO! — xnamkcor 2011-08-18 09:16

That's not a speaker. Those are speaker holes. It's completely possible the other speaker is still on the other side.

# according to the specs — lunas 2011-08-19 02:20

according to the specs i was able to find the thing is mono i noticed but did not point out...
it will likely be a flop in europe sony really should have just dropped the price of the 3000 series to either what everyone else is paying or to 119 euro...

# RE: New value-priced PSP model announced — jerrywest 2011-08-18 13:09

We don't need a new PSP model. We need new game, dammit!

# RE: New value-priced PSP model announced — stuff 2011-08-18 18:06

i never got the chance to play multiplayer online, the game servers were always empty, so what's the problem? plus, it looks sleek in that completely black outfit, and for 99 bucks there sure is a market to place this baby on.

# except... — lunas 2011-08-19 02:28

Except one thing this looks like the polar opposite of the psp go umd but no wifi the only benifit is you can use a pc to put digital versions on the e1000 the go is flawed in that was the only choice the users had and it was as expensive as the vita.

# so not worth it — Lumiere 2011-08-24 11:56

It's called ebay, get a psp 3000 for just about the same money
