01.10.09 - Get ready to Go

Mark those calendars boys & girls, that is when you can get your hands on the new PSP Go.









Admitted to be the worst kept secret by Jack Tretton, President & CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, the PSP Go news somehow made it's way to the online world just a few days before E3. So it wasn't very much of a surprise when Hack Tretton pulled it out of his pocket during the Sony Press Conference which you can view here.

Ok lets talk specs, what is special about this baby PSP?
