PSP's price cut, GPS, cam, VoIP and media download service
Ken Kutaragi's PlayStation business briefing has adjourned and a new GPS receiver (PSP-290) with game support will indeed drop this “autumn” with a new GPS-enabled Hot Shot Golf title loaded-up for first release. Sony also let fly a new USB-attached PSP-300 EyeToy camera add-on for a September launch which will support a new video and VoIP chat service coming in October. Also of note is the announcement of a new digital distribution system allowing users to download “games and applications” directly to your Memory Stick – an early use will be for downloading and playing PSone games (via a new emulator) directly off your memory cards, although specifics around that service have yet to be announced. Rounding things out are the announcements that a future firmware release will bring Macromedia Flash compatibility and a new RSS Channel function to save and playback internet radio and video content. All this and the PSP base-unit price will be cut to $199 by the end of the month.
