   Wouldn’t mind it, if only it had Wi-Fi.

      From the first line in the article:

      > the PSP E-1000 does what every other PSP does — it just doesn’t have built-in Wi-Fi. And it’s matte! See?

   It actually does look like a dodgy cheap knock off… Don’t like the UMD tray, how the whole back opens up.

   Love the Matte finish though!

   I’m guessing that Sony made this model so they can clear out their stockpile of PSP parts to make room for the Vita.

   So do you have to hook it up to a PS3 to buy stuff on the PSN store?

   Just a question to the people of Australia,

   How hard is it to find PSP Hardware/Software where you are?

   Because considering that the PSP range is damn near non existent where I am (Tasmania)I can’t see a release of a new PSP console down here being a smart business move (even if it is a budget model)

   However this is all assuming Sony will eventually intend to sell it outside Europe

      I take it you’re asking about off the shelf stock?

      There are no problems buying psp harware or software in sydney.

      Maybe less so in regards to umds, but that generaly happens when old hardware is replaced.

      However second had retailers and web sites have an abundance of second hand psp peripherals.

    Can someone show the other side of the UMD/open side. I’m interested to see what they’ve done there…

    Probably the ugliest product Sony has ever made with the exception of some cell-phones.
