Traditional game consoles, like the Xbox, Nintendo Wii, or Sony Playstation don't provide enough entertainment for serious gamers. Many want a portable device for playing their favorite games outside the home as well. For many years, the Sony PSP has been one of the most powerful handheld game devices available. The latest model, the Sony PSP Go, is the smallest PSP so far. One of the reasons for more compact size is the slide-out keypad for game controls. The solution makes sense because despite its small size, the unit can accomodate large keypad with comfortable buttons.

The main features of the Sony PSP go are Wi-Fi for Internet access, 16GB of memory, Bluetooth for headphones and wireless controller, Memory Stick Micro memory card slot, USB port, and AV connector. A charging cradle is available separately for charging the unit and for USB connection. The game device doesn't have UMD disc drive. The expected price is 249 dollars or the same amount in euros.
