E3 2009: Sony launches new PSP Go handheld games console

Kaz Hirai, Sony’s president, jokingly called the launch of the PSP Go the “worst kept secret of E3”, after news of the announcement leaked online days ahead of the video games expo in Los Angeles. He made the announcement as Sony unveiled its forthcoming line-up of video games at E3 2009.

The device, which is half the size and wait of the original PSP console, features 16GB of flash memory, allowing users to store thousands of songs, photos and games on their console. It also has a slide-out control pad, and integrated Bluetooth, as well as a memory card slot to expand its storage limit.

They will also be able to download games and films from Sony’s PlayStation Store using the PSP Go’s built-in Wi-Fi capabilities.

Sony confirmed that the PSP Go would not have a slot for its proprietary UMD game disks, meaning users won’t be able to play old PSP games on it. However, Sony said that the PSP Go would be offered in addition to the existing PSP console, the slim, light PSP 3000, which is still compatible with UMD disks.

The PSP Go, which goes on sale on October 1, will cost around $250 (£150).

Sony hopes the new-look, ultra-portable device will appeal to casual gamers as well as Sony’s traditional fan base. Other handheld consoles, such as the Nintendo DS, have proved very popular with women and older gamers.

The PSP Go also pits Sony directly against Apple’s iPod touch device, which can play music and video, as well as surf the internet, and is building a reputation as a foremost mobile gaming platform, with a number of large publishers, including Electronic Arts, developing titles specifically for Apple’s gadget.

JVC launches new full HD LCD monitor for digital SLR users

Most of us would purchase a high definition LCD TV for entertainment purposes, checking out the latest Blu-ray releases on them while drooling at the level of detail such sets offer. Well, JVC takes a different route this time round with their new Xiview LT-42WX70 being a 42″ class 120Hz 1080p LCD TV monitor which caters specifically to digital imaging professionals and enthusiasts who do plenty of shooting using high-end digital SLR cameras. The Xiview LT-42WX70 will make room for shutterbugs to see the subtle colors, details and textures of their images faithfully reproduced for the first time on a HD LCD TV right smack in the middle of your living room.

The monitor will come with expanded color space capacity that encompasses 100% of HDTV broadcasting’s (sRGB.904) color space alongside a coverage rate of 96% for Adobe RGB, which is the color space for still photographs taken on high-definition digital SLR cameras. These capabilities will make room for accurate reproduction of both video and still photographs. In addition, the LT-42WX70 will also come with 52 picture-quality adjustment properties for tweaking both still and video images source-by-source according to the exact colors and tones of your preference. Not only that, JVC’s very own GENESSA Picture Engine is able to churn out video images without blur, color bleed or noise for clear images with smooth movement.

The inclusion of 120HzClear Motion Drive III (100Hz for PAL video signals) in the engine also further reduces the amount of blurring, which is a problem that is normally associated with LCD TVs. Sounds like the perfect thing for sports and action movie enthusiasts since their entertainment of choice tend to have plenty of movement that can be smoothened out. With the 3D real time, motion-estimated Hadamard noise reduction being applied, noise will be further eliminated along with blur suppression. If you’re interested, JVC is offering the JVC LT-42WX70 for $2,399.95.
