Sony has announced a new PSP service for designing 3D avatars and "my room" spaces, along with blog, album, and group gathering and chat support.

As reported by IGN at TGS 2009...the PSP will have 700 downloadable titles available Oct 1.

It's clear from speaking with staff (and from the absence of any mention of the PSPgo on EB's website) that Australia's largest specialist games retailer won't be stocking the handheld, despite a release date of next week, the console appears in EB's system only as "discontinued", and is not listed as an upcoming release.

Leading Dutch retailer Nedgame has announced that it won’t be selling PSPgo when the new handheld launches on October 1. While the company will continue to support existing PSP models, it says that the drawbacks of the UMD-free PSPgo include its €249 price point, as well as its inability to support physical media and hence game trade-ins and second hand sales.
