The Sony PSP Go...

...was officially announced yesterday at E3.

The new version of Sony's popular PSP will be released on October 1st and will retail for $249. The Go has a hidden set of controls that slide from under the screen...kind of like a cell phone. It's also 50 percent smaller and 40 percent lighter than the original PSP-1000. The Go doesn't have a UMD drive, instead the games will be loaded via Memory Stick Micro slot or over PlayStation Network.

Pic of the controls and a brief list of specifications after the jump.

* Approx. 128 x 16.5 x 69 mm (width x height x depth)
* Weight: 5.6 ounces (including batter)
* CPU: 333MHz
* 64MB memory
* 3.8-inch display (480 x 272 resolution)
* Built-in stereo speakers and microphone
* 802.11b WiFi
* Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
* USB 2.0
* Memory Stick Micro slot
* Analog video out
* 16GB storage

It looks nice...but $249 sounds a little expensive for a handheld game.
