Sony’s new PlayStation Portable, one of the main announcements at this year’s E3 gaming expo — our preview here — has leaked ahead of time.
As suspected, Sony is dropping its disc format, “Universal Media Disc,” for flash memory and digital distribution on the “PSP Go.” (Another failed Sony attempt to try to get its proprietary format to catch on within the broader media industry.) The screen is still large — 3.8 inches — and it comes with 16 GB of onboard memory. You’ll also be able to rent movies and TV shows over the PSP’s wi-fi.
