Most people attending the SCEE Press Conference yesterday at gamescom were expecting some exciting new announcement regarding the upcoming new handheld the PS Vita but instead were surprised when Sony announced another addition to the current PSP family dubbed as the PSP E-1000.

The PSP E-1000 is a budget PSP that has shockingly has NO wi-fi, what were Sony thinking? All we can assume is that Sony are aiming this at children whose parents want a cheap(ish) handheld without them having to worry about them going on the internet or downloading anything.
The PSP E-1000 is made from the same lovely matte Charcoal black finish as seen on the Slim PlayStation 3. The E-1000 will of course be able to play all UMD titles currently available aslong side as the new essentials UMD range which will be launched alongside the console, you will also be able to download titles using the PC Software MediaGo.
To be honest in my opinion I really see this as a pointless launch especially with the stated price of £99.99 when you can pick up the PSP 3000 model with Wi-Fi for around the same price and less if you look in the right place…
