In addition to accessing PlayStation Store directly from PSP using the built-in wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) feature or through the PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3®) computer entertainment system, users will also be able to access and download a variety of entertainment content via their PCs using Media Go, a new software application. Media Go will enable users to access and download entertainment content on PlayStation Store via their PCs as well to easily manage PSP content on PCs, including games, videos, photos, and music. This easy to use software application will be available on a CD-ROM bundled with PSPgo.

Also this fall, a new music application specific to PSP that uses the “SensMe™ channels” music recommendation feature, developed by Sony, also becomes available for download on PSP. With this music application, users will be able to enjoy their favourite music stored on their PSP through a rich user interface, designed exclusively for PSP.

“SensMe channels” is a mood based music recommendation system that categorises music content into channels such as “Relax,” “Dance” and “Upbeat,” and recommends music playlists for users.

Other features are:

      Easy Sliding Display Panel: and Original Applications PSPgo offers a variety of exciting entertainment options by taking advantage of the sliding panel. When the panel is open, users will be able to enjoy various entertainment content with the familiar button control as PSP-3000, when closed, original applications for PSPgo, such as a clock and calendar is displayed on the screen. Users can also enjoy video and music when the panel is closed.
     
      Game sleep function: PSPgo has unique features such as game sleep function which enables users to operate XMB™ (XrossMediaBar) while pausing gameplay temporarily.
     
      Bluetooth® function:  Bluetooth function will also allow users to connect Bluetooth standard peripherals such as head-phones and head-set as well as PS3 wireless controller (DUALSHOCK®3 and SIXAXIS®) to be used when watching video content on TV via PSP at home.

      Peripheral line-up: One of the products within PSPgo’s peripheral line-up is a new Cradle (PSP-N340) that will become available in stores worldwide concurrently with the release of PSPgo.
     
This new Cradle enables users to charge the PSPgo battery and also enjoy watching video and listening to music. Also included in the peripheral line-up are video-out port cables that enable users to enjoy games and videos on their television at home.

With the introduction of PSPgo, SCEI will continue to vigorously expand PlayStation Network’s digital content and services and build a stronger software line-up along with various marketing measures that match each region, while creating the world of computer entertainment only available on the PlayStation platforms.

Notes:Content on UMD cannot be played back on PSPgo.
        Colour variations may differ by countries and regions.
        Media Go also supports PSP-1000/2000/3000. For those PSP users, the software is available for download from
        PlayStation Store official site (http://store.playstation.com)., “Media Manager for PSP” will not support access to
        PlayStation Store, and it is required to use “Media Go” for accessing PlayStation Store.
        SensMe channels also supports PSP-1000/2000/3000. Details will be announced at a later timing.
        Head-phone and head-set supporting A2DP, HSP, AVRCP profile can be used. Some head-phones and head-sets may not be supported.
