Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Handhelds, Storage, Video Games

SanDisk is responding to the portable video game market with a new line of memory cards.  Its new line of M2 memory cards is for the PSP Go, and will be packaged with the Memory Stick Pro Duo adapters if the user has another kind of PSP.  SanDisk is also creating a special SDHC card for the Nintendo DSi (and by special, we mean it’s the same as any other SDHC card, but with a DSi logo on it.)

The prices for these cards vary.  The M2 cards are $27.99 for the 2GB, $44.99 for the 4GB, $74.99 for the 8GB, and $142.99 for the 16GB.  As for the Nintendo SDHC cards, they are $32.99 for the 4GB, and $47.99 for the 8GB.

PSP Go launches October 1, $250

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: E3, Hardware, Portable/Mobile, PSP, Sony

The PSP Go will be launching in North America and Europe on October 1 at a price of $249.99, as announced by Sony at their E3 2009 Media Briefing. Those in Japan will have to wait an extra month, as the system goes on sale there on November 1. Deemed the “worst-kept secret of E3,” the PSP Go is over 50% smaller, and 40% lighter, than the original PSP. It includes 16GB of on-board memory, built-in Wifi, integrated Bluetooth, a Memory Stick Micro slot, and most importantly, it drops the UMD drive. If $250 isn’t too rich for your blood, the PSP Go is yours in four months.
