					UMD to make a comeback?<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images1.pocket-lint.com/images/q1KR/psp-4000-rumours-return-sony-0.jpg" alt="PSP-4000 rumours return" />				</p>
				<p><p>It's being rumoured that Sony will be announcing a PSP-4000 in 2010. Edge is <a href="http://www.edge-online.com/news/psp-4000-to-support-umd" target="_blank">reporting</a> that the Tokyo Game Show this year was full of whispers that the PSP Go hasn't been selling at all well, and that Sony has decided to reverse the decisions made and return to the UMD format.</p>
<p>The PSP Go launched with a rather large price tag, and a limited catalogue of games, as well as a poor upgrade experience. <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27785/psp-sales-rise-300-percent" target="_blank">Sales rocketed 300%</a> in the first few days that the PSP Go was on sale, but appear to have fallen off just as quickly. As a result, is Sony stepping back from its digital-only strategy?</p>
<p>We won't know for sure until the company makes an announcement one way or another, and Sony Computer Entertainment UK refused to comment on this story. Until then, we'd be interesting in hearing your thoughts - do you have a PSP Go? Do you miss the UMD? Or have you refused to get one thanks to your catalogue of UMD games and movies?</p></p>

					Following launch of PSP Go in the States<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images4.pocket-lint.com/images/pzDw/psp-sales-rise-300-percent-0.jpg" alt="PSP sales rise 300% " />				</p>
				<p><p>Sales of the PSP in the United States have rocketed 300% in the 3 days that followed the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27583/psp-go-arrives-on-shelves" target="_blank">launch of the PSP Go</a> - the smaller, lighter, more download-y, little brother of the original PSP-3000. Game downloads also climbed 200% in the same time period.</p>
<p>Sony's corporate communications director Patrick Seybold told <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=25562" target="_blank">Gamasutra</a>: "The launch of PSPgo has generated strong consumer interest in the overall PSP platform and the PlayStation Network's digital content offering".</p>
<p>"With several blockbuster games launching digitally and on UMD in the coming weeks - from LittleBigPlanet to Assassin's Creed Bloodlines - we expect this momentum to continue and look forward to a strong holiday season for both the PSPgo and PSP-3000", he added.</p>
<p>Over on this side of the Atlantic, a price war erupted for the new console, with the cost <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27698/sony-psp-go-price-cut" target="_blank">dropping ?25</a> almost immediately. The console is available now for around ?200, depending on where you pick it up from.</p></p>

					iTunes alternative for non-iPhones<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images3.pocket-lint.com/images/pwzA/doubletwist-builds-amazon-mp3-desktop-app-0.jpg" alt="DoubleTwist builds OS X app for Amazon MP3" />				</p>
				<p><p>Following its <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27567/doubletwist-paraodies-apple-1984-advert" target="_blank">teaser video</a> the other day, DoubleTwist has announced a new version of its software for Mac that allows users to avoid iTunes and load up music, videos and other media onto their mobile phones. The update brings the addition of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/MP3-Music-Download/b?ie=UTF8&node=163856011" target="_blank">Amazon MP3 store</a>.</p>
<p>It's essentially a desktop front-end to the web store, but the integration - as you can see in the video above - is pretty nifty. Tracks can be purchased with just an Amazon login and will automatically download into your library complete with metadata, ready to be dragged over to your device.</p>
<p>The software works with BlackBerry, Palm Pre, and Android handsets, as well as the Sony PSP and "hundreds of other devices". It's <a href="http://www.doubletwist.com/dt/Home/Index.dt" target="_blank">available now</a>, but the version with the Amazon MP3 store won't be out until 13 October. Grab it now, and it'll auto-update then.</p></p>

					11% slashed by online retailers a week after launch<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images2.pocket-lint.com/images/pvQh/sony-psp-go-price-cut-0.jpg" alt="Sony PSP Go price cut" />				</p>
				<p><p>The Sony PSP has been out less than a week, but already retailers are slashing the prices of the PSP Go in the UK.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PSP-Go-Console-Black/dp/B002BSH1ZG/ref=sr_tr_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1254854212&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Amazon.co.uk</a>, <a href="http://www.play.com/Games/PSP/4-/10287942/Sony-PSP-GO-Console-Black/Product.html" target="_blank">Play.com</a>, HMV and GAME have cut 11% off the RRP taking the price of the console from its original ?225 down to ?199.</p>
<p>The move appears to be an attempt to lure gamers away from other handheld consoles like the Nintendo DS and Apple iPod touch and make it the console of choice in the Christmas stocking.?</p>
<p>However, the price drop still makes it more expensive than both the Nintendo DSi (priced at ?139.99) and the 8GB Apple iPod touch (priced at ?149.99).</p>
<p>Sony is hoping that the bigger screen compared to its rivals, and downloadable content will be the killer application to help it win the handheld console battle this Christmas, retailers it seems, aren't so sure.</p>
<p>?</p>
<p>?</p>
<p>?</p></p>

					Your games and the way you've got to get them<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images4.pocket-lint.com/images/pqNc/quick-guide-to-playstation-store-0.jpg" alt="Quick guide to the PlayStation Store for PSPs" />				</p>
				<p>Since Sony waved goodbye to the UMD, those wishing to upgrade/splash out on the PSP Go are going to be getting awfully familiar with the PlayStation Store. Now we know that change can be a difficult thing to get used to, so, to help ease the move from one format to t'other, do have a read of this here Pocket-lint guide on how it all works.<br /><br /><h3>Do I need to use the PlayStation Store?</h3> The short answer is no, no you don't. If you have a PSP-1000, 2000 or 3000 and a UMD drive, then you can just continue buying games in shops or online as you always have done. Just no promises as to how long Sony decides to continue the format for. If, on the other hand, you have a PSP Go and therefore no UMD drive, then it's downloads only for you, which is going to involve the Store at some point.<br /><br /><h3>How do I download onto my PSP Go?</h3>The two main methods of getting the content onto your device are via the PSP Go itself over a Wi-Fi connection or by side loading from a PC via a USB cable. If going for the latter method, you'll need to install Media Go which is Sony's iTunes-like desptop application for organising your media and accessing the Store portal. The third way of doing things is to download media onto your PS3, if you happen to have one, and then a transfer via USB from there.<br /><br /><h3>What kind of content can I find on the store?</h3>Games is obviously the big focus. There are games for the PS3 as well as the PSP and mobile phone-type application titles called Minis which cost anywhere between ?2.49 and ?3.99 and take up no more than 100MB of storage. There's currently a total of 162 games for the handheld and more will be added each week, we're told. There are also free game demos, movie trailers, short films (currently free) and other content in the shape of themes and wallpapers for your PSP. After a deal with Marvel, comics will also be added soon and expect there to be a full movie and TV series push as well.<br /><br /><h3>What about my UMDs?</h3>We'd like to tell you that Sony's got your back here but it hasn't. There's an offer open initially whereby you can download three games, from a set list, for free if you have any game at all on UMD, but there is no way to transfer your already purchased optical disk titles onto the PSP Go. On the plus side, if you do wish you repurchase any from the Store, all the old games are available.<br /><br /><h3>Can anyone use the PS Store?</h3>Yes, if you want to. Download the software, register your user name and password for free, add funds to your in-store Wallet with a credit or debit card and get shopping. Technically, you don't even need a PS product at all. Just don't expect much joy trying to play the games on your computer.<br /></p>

					Finally here, several years after originally promised.<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images2.pocket-lint.com/images/ppYa/gran-turismo-gets-psp-release-0.jpg" alt="Gran Turismo finally to get PSP release" />				</p>
				<p>Last October, we posted a story with a quote from Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida who said that the company had a development team working on Gran Turismo on the PSP, but that it wasn't ready yet.<br /><br />Nearly a year later, Sony has finally announced that the game is getting a release on the console. The PSP edition contains more than 800 vehicles from real-world car manufacturers, all with driving dynamics specific to each model. There's over 4500 paint variations, too.<br /><br />You can race them around 35 tracks, and "70 variations on those tracks" (which just sounds like you can go round each one backwards) that include original courses, world circuits, city courses and other racing environments. <br /><br />Various gameplay modes are available - driving challenge, single player, time trial and drift trial, and multiplayer is accomplished through the PSP's ad-hoc mode with a series of head-to-head races that handicap faster drivers with slower cars. You'll also be able to trade cars with other players.<br /><br />Gran Turismo PSP comes on UMD but also as a downloadable product via the PSNetwork for owners of the all-new PSP Go - which doesn't take UMDs. It's out in the United States now, we'll keep you posted on European availability.<br /></p>

					?225 for slimmer, lighter, screen-sliding PSP cousin<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images3.pocket-lint.com/images/ppMH/psp-go-arrives-on-shelves-0.jpg" alt="PSP go arrives on shelves" />				</p>
				<p>Sony has announced that the PSP Go, long rumoured, and eventually confirmed, has now arrived on the shelves in Europe. It's considerably closer to the iPhone and DS in terms of functionality with the arrival of "minis" - smaller, cheaper games with a 100MB size limit.<br /><br />The PSP Go is also considerably slimmer and lighter than its older brother. It weighs 160g compared to the original's 190g weight, and is 66mm thick, compared to 71mm on the original. The screen is smaller, though - 3.8-inches instead of 4.3-inches for the PSP-3000.<br /><br />The PSP Go will cost ?225, and comes with 16GB of internal memory and the capability to expand that with Sony's proprietary Memory Stick Micro format. It has 802.11b Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and has video-out, in case you want to load videos up to your TV screen. It's available now.</p>

					From the first handheld with an optical drive to a digital download device<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images3.pocket-lint.com/images/plWC/history-of-the-sony-psp-0.jpg" alt="The history of the Sony PSP" />				</p>
				<p>It's easy forget that the PSP Go is actually the fourth PlayStation Portable handheld from Sony but it was over six years ago that the original model was announced. Hold the two side by side and it's easy enough to see the differences but the transformation didn't happen over night. So, here's how it all went down in the history of the Sony PSP from that heady summer's day in June to where we are today.<br /><br /><b>June 2003</b> A Sony PlayStation handheld is announced and described CEO Ken Kutaragi as the "Walkman of the 21st Century". There are no images, mock ups or models but the technical specifications are discussed.<br /><br /><b>November 2003</b> The first concept drawings of the device are discussed at a Sony meeting which include flat buttons and no analogue stick.<br /><br /><b>May 2004</b> The PlayStation Portable is unveiled at a press conference just before E3 and is the first handheld device to use optical disks - the UMD.<br /><br /><b>June 2004</b> The PSP is on show at E3 along with the games Metal Gear Acid and Wipeout Pure.<br /><br /><img src='http://images1.pocket-lint.com/images/plX4/history-of-the-sony-psp-2.jpg' alt='PSP-1000' width='615'/><br /><br /><b>October 2004</b> The PSP is officially launched with the worldwide release dates.<br /><br /><b>December 2004</b> PSP launches in Japan on 17th October for ?19,800 for the basic model and ?24,800 for the value version. It sells 200,000 units on the first day.<br /><br /><b>March 2005</b> PSP launches in North America for $249, approximately $20 more than the Japanese price and $100 more than its recently launched competitor - the Nintendo DS. 500,000 PSPs are sold in the first two days but there are later suspicions that the first weeks do not reap quite the figures that Sony had hoped for.<br /><br /><b>June 2005</b> Hackers release the PSP code and distribute it online. As a result the ISO loader is created crammed full of pirated games and is thought to be responsible for the rise in sales of the PSP but the drop in retail of the games.<br /><br /><b>September 2005</b> PSP launched in the UK for ?179 - at the time over $100 more than the US price. Sony say this is because of high VAT pushing it up in the UK and the need to compensate for local sales taxes in the US. All 185,000 units sell out in the first three hours doubling the DS's record on launch.<br /><br /><b>March 2007</b> The PSP totals 25.39 million units shipped worldwide.<br /><br /><img src='http://images1.pocket-lint.com/images/plX4/history-of-the-sony-psp-3.jpg' alt='PSP-2000' width='615'/><br /><br /><b>June 2007</b> The next generation of Sony's gaming handheld is announced as the 33% lighter, 19% thinner PSP-2000 and is the first of the Slim and Light series. It supports USB charging, has a composite TV-out and twice the RAM taking the memory up to a healthy 64MB. The screen is brighter and the UMD speedier to load.<br /><br /><b>September 2007</b> PSP-2000 goes on sale worldwide<br /><br /><b>August 2008</b> An update of the PSP-2000 is shown off at a press conference in Leipzig. The PSP-3000 is ostensibly identical to its predecessor but features an improved LCD screen with a better contrast, colour gamut, a faster response time and an anti-reflective coating.<br /><br /><b>October 2008</b> The PSP-3000 goes on sale worldwide<br /><br /><img src='http://images3.pocket-lint.com/images/plX4/history-of-the-sony-psp-4.jpg' alt='PSP-3000' width='615'/><br /><br /><b>January 2009</b> Built-in Skype service is added though a firmware update as Sony announces that 50 million PSPs have been sold to retailers worldwide<br /><br /><b>May 2009</b> After much internet speculation, the PSP Go is revealed in June's issue of Qore online<br /><br /><b>June 2009</b> PSP Go officially launched at E3 with Bluetooth, a smaller 3.8-inch screen and at 43% lighter than the original PSP. The UMB has vanished and instead is replaced by 16GB of internal flash memory for digital downloads plus a Memory Stick Mirco port. The release dates are revealed as the 1st October for North America and Europe, and 1st November for Japan.<br /><br /><b>August 2009</b> 56 million PSP units reported sold worldwide<br /><br /><b>September 2009</b> PSP service called the PlayStation Room is announced where users will be able to host real time communications inviting people in to their "rooms" much like the PlayStation Home service on the PS3. A closed beta test is to take place in Japan only between 24th September - 5th October.<br /><br /><b>October 2009</b> We await reviews and sales figures for the PSP Go.</p>

					Classics and soon-to-bes to download for your handheld gamer <br />
					<img class="" src="http://images3.pocket-lint.com/images/pklh/top-five-sony-psp-games-0.jpg" alt="Top five PSP games to have in your collection" />				</p>
				<p>With the PSP Go inches from the shelves and few first-timers about to get stuck in, we thought it be best to give you five ways to spend your spondoolics with maximum satisfaction. There's more games on the PlayStation store than you can shake a tree of sticks at so, if you're looking to start your collection or just checking that yours is complete, then make sure you've got the following:<br /><br /><b>5) Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords</b><br /><dl><dt>Developer</dt><dd>Infinite Interacive</dd><br /><dt>Genre</dt><dd>Puzzle/RPG</dd><br /><dt>Price</dt><dd>?15.99</dd></dl><br />Infinitive Interactive took mini games and turned them into the main event. As the name suggest, the action is set in the Warlords world. You pick a character with differing abilities according to morals, magic affinity and such, and take on a bunch of main and side-quests. They win you more experience and more gold that you then cash in for more content and more character customisation. The twist, of course, is that all the confrontations are taken care of in the form Bejeweled-type mini game duals to decide who the victor is. Perhaps someone could suggest the model to warring leaders of the world.<br /><br /><b>4) Wipeout Pure</b><br /><dl><dt>Developer</dt><dd>SCE Studio Liverpool</dd><br /><dt>Genre</dt><dd>Racing</dd><br /><dt>Price</dt><dd>?14.99</dd></dl><br />No PlayStation platform or device would be complete without one version of Wipeout or another and the pick for the PSP is Wipeout Pure. Bags of weapons, eight constructors and only one FX-300 anti-gravity race league. Despite being set 100 years later than the original game, the idea has been to get back to the old school magic. The pit lane has been dispensed with in favour of the ability to absorb your own weapons to boost your energy. The handling is also more as it used to be but, essentially, you know what it's all about - far out tracks, amazing music and Quake disrupting your way to first place.<br /><br /><b>3) Patapon 2</b><br /><dl><dt>Developer</dt><dd>SCE Japan Studio</dd><br /><dt>Genre</dt><dd>Strategy/Rhythm</dd><br /><dt>Price</dt><dd>?19.99</dd></dl><br />Essentially a strategy/god game with a twist, the name Patapon refers to both your loyal tribe of tooled-up eyeball warriors and also the drum beats you need to enter correctly to control their actions on the battlefield. This second version has added a four-way multiplayer option over Wi-Fi and has been described as a "must have" for any PSP owner, so you'd better go and must have it then.<br /><br /><b>2) Dissidia: Final Fantasy</b><br /><dl><dt>Developer</dt><dd>Square Enix</dd><br /><dt>Genre</dt><dd>RPG</dd><br /><dt>Price</dt><dd>Released imminent</dd></dl><br />Celebrating over 20 years of the renowned series that has shipped over 85 million units worldwide, Dissidia Final Fantasty brings together the largest collection of FF characters ever in a fighting-styled game where players can choose their allegiance between good and evil. It's one of the world's most popular RPG franchises. Heroes and villains of the series collide in a war that threatens to tear the universe apart. Action-packed gameplay and character customisation move to another level with full-on blockbuster audio and visual presentation on the handheld. Lovely game.<br /><br /><b>1) Monster Hunter Freedom Unite</b><br /><dl><dt>Developer</dt><dd>Capcom</dd><br /><dt>Genre</dt><dd>MMORPG</dd><br /><dt>Price</dt><dd>?24.99</dd></dl><br />With a huge following in Japan and an ever-growing cult status over here, the latest incarnation of the franchise does not disappoint. Monster Hunters can prepare for the ultimate fight by customising their character and creating thousands of armour sets and weapons to assist them on hundreds of different quests to track down and slay the toughest bosses out there. Players can embark on hunts alone with their cat like Felyne companion or as a team in up to four-player ad-hoc mode to complete more challenging quests. An excellent and hopelessly addictive way to lose 100 hours of time without so much as blinking.</p>

					<img class="" src="http://images4.pocket-lint.com/images/pjXY/free-games-with-pspgo-offer-0.jpg" alt="Free game kick-start with the PSP Go" />				</p>
				<p>PSP owners thinking of upgrading to the PSP Go can let out a little whoop of joy today with the promise of three free games as soon as their new handheld is out of the box. Sony has set up a special offer through the PlayStation Network to help ease the tricky transition from the UMD removable discs to pure digital downloads by letting you choose from 17 classic titles without so much as spending a bean.<br /><br />Anyone with a PSP-1000, 2000 or 3000 and at least one UMD should log on to the Network with both consoles, register for the PSP Go Rewards and then have a big smile when they  get an e-mail voucher for their freebies. The games include Wipeout Pure, Killzone: Liberation, Everybody's Golf and Buzz Brain Bender but no need to chose in a hurry. The offer lasts from 1st October 2009 and 31st March 2010.<br /><br />Not a bad way to start your digital games collection and, with 16GB of onboard storage, there'll still be plenty of room for all your vids, pics and tunes, and any other shoot 'em ups, smack 'em downs and whatever else takes your fancy. </p>

				<p>Sony has announced a couple of handy accessories for its PSP go handheld console. There's a Bluetooth headset reciever, and a convertor cable that'll let you use accessories designed for the old PSP on the PSP go's "multi-use connector".<br /><br />The Bluetooth headset receiver lets you connect up headphones or headsets and use Bluetooth tech to wirelessly transfer sound from the console to your ears. It comes with play, stop, pause, forward, rewind and volume buttons, and can be paired with upto eight Bluetooth devices.<br /><br />There's a bunch of other accessories too, including a cradle, AV cable, USB adaptor, travel case, headset and various memory sticks, but they'll only be launching in the United States. Evidently sales have been too weak in the UK to justify their launch over here.<br /><br />The Bluetooth headset receiver and convertor cable will be available in January 2010.</p>

					Talks up the gaming ability of the iPod Touch<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images1.pocket-lint.com/images/nXNY/apple-scorns-ds-psp-gaming-0.jpg" alt="Apple slates DS and PSP claiming iPod is better. Gaming, Apple, Sony, Nintendo, DS, PSP, iPod Touch 0" />				</p>
				<p>At Apple's keynote event in San Francisco, the company poured scorn on handheld gaming devices from Nintendo and Sony.<br /><br />The company talked up the multitouch interface, accelerometer, library of games, and game-buying experience, along with the fact that the iPod Touch can also be used for listening to music and browsing the web.<br /><br />At the same time, Apple slated its competitors reliance on retail, the price of their games, and the lack of other features, attacking Sony and Nintendo in its most public move yet. <br /><br />Apple showed a graph citing its 21,178 titles compared to Nintendo's 3680 and the PSP's 607. <br /><br />Ubisoft poured further salt in the wounds, coming on stage to say that the iPod Touch is "the place the be for games this Christmas". <br /><br />Tapulous showed off a new game that looks remarkably similar to PC title Audiosurf, called Riddim Ribbon. When it arrives in October, it'll come with mixes from Tiesto and Black Eyed Peas bundles.<br /><br />Gameloft then presented a first-person shooter title called "Nova". It features, according to the company, "the best graphics ever seen on the platform". It's controlled like a pair of dual analog sticks using the multitouch touchscreen. You can play multiplayer over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, as well as use voice chat.</p>
