PSP hits UK tomorrow
Grab your sleeping bags, it’s time to camp out for what will
surely be one of the biggest-selling portable media devices out there. The
PlayStation Portable (PSP) from Sony finally arrives in the UK tomorrow and the company expects to shift about one million of the little fellas here by
Christmas. The UK, as usual, has been last on the list for this launch since
it’s been out for nine months in Japan and six months in the US. Over 5 million
have been flogged worldwide so far making it somewhat of a phenomenon. 
Even the
£179 price tag hasn’t put off drooling UK users with many stores selling out their
stock in advance. At launch there will be 30 or so games and around 30 movies
available on the controversial UMD disc format. Nintendo, current king of the
portable gaming device market with GameBoy and DS, is not taking it lying down.
A sleek Micro version of the GameBoy is due in November.
