Sony PSP Go review: We love its slimmer, sexier, more pocket-friendly shape, as well as its pause and restore anywhere feature, but the PSP Go doesn't quite add enough to the mix to justify its price tag.

Mr Pocket please meet PSP • Heeeey there good lookin' • Light, yet sturdy • Pause and restore games anywhere • UMD gone

but leaves upgraders in a lurch • Hip pocket nerve winces in pain • More fingerprints than an episode of CSI • No 802.11g/n, DivX, Xvid support • Shoulder buttons easy to hit accidentally

Sony's latest PSP turned up at the CNET Australia offices last week and we snapped a few pictures to find out what will be inside the box ahead of its 1 October Aussie launch.

Ahead of E3, a leaked video is revealed by a Sony executive touting a sliding screen handheld — with no second thumb stick — and built-in flash memory.

The PSPgo is the latest iteration of Sony's handheld games console, the PlayStation Portable.

Attractive slide-screen interface, 16GB inbuilt memory, light, digital distribution - the future of gaming

PSP control issues still remain, too expensive, game downloads cost the same as the 'real' thing

Depending on your viewpoint, the PSPgo handles as well, or as badly, as the PSP 3000. Once again, Sony has neglected to include a right analogue stick on the device. This can be quite detrimental to gaming, especially when playing 3D action titles ...

THE PSPgo does away with UMDs, instead opting for direct downloads from the PSN store.

Feels great to hold, sliding mechanism is firm

Too early to make a definitive judgement

It's way too early to make a definitive judgement on the Sony PSP Go, but from our early hands-on experience, we can't wait to find out more.
