Sony released the PSP Go on October 1, 2009 in the USA to much criticism and skepticism. The PSP Go is Sony’s first attempt at a pure digital distribution based handheld console. Prior PSP models used both Memory Stick and UMDs for game playing. The PSP Go forgoes the UMD drive for a smaller, sleeker slider design. It also adds Bluetooth connectivity, 16GB of onboard flash ram for games, photos, music, and comics and also sports an upgraded M2 memory card slot. The biggest shocker of all was the price, $250 US Dollars; the Go was more expensive than a Wii and only $50 less than a PS3 or XBOX 360 at the time of launch.
