Sony's new PSP Go handheld launches today in the UK, with the gaming giant announcing a new firmware update that introduces Bluetooth internet tethering and a raft of cool new music features for the PSP.
Firmware 6.10 will let you tether your shiny new PSP Go to your cellphone via Bluetooth so that you can piggyback your phone's Wi-Fi or 3G internet connection.
A very cool feature indeed, particularly seeing as the new PSP Go is UMD-free, with Sony bravely taking the plunge into a digital-download only future.
Mood music
If that wasn't enough to tempt you to shell out £225 on a new PSP Go, PSPs will also get a new XMB feature called SensMe with the latest firmware update, which basically lets you generate playlists from your music library based on different moods.
PlayStation Network's Eric Lempel outlines all of these new PSP features over on the PlayStation Blog
Lempel also notes that an update to the MediaGo software for your PC, to assist in moving PS Store items from the internets to you PSP, is also set to release this week.

3. I'm getting one for sure! I have no interest selling my used games so I'm not the least bit bothered by the monopoly on games.
Got my ordered from the states for £150, bargain!

2. Ah a firmware fix even before it gets released kinda how things seem to be now release half finished products use the public as beta testers.
PSP Go = your games are worthless!
you are now blocked by sony from,
lending YOUR games
trading YOUR games
selling YOUR games
OR EVEN GIVING YOUR GAMES AWAY FOR FREE.
who's games are they exactly ?
btw sony paid public relations / damage control bloggers, your counter argument of steam is flawed as all sony are doing is showing contempt for its customers by copying anti-consumer tactics of disgraceful licensing removing customers ownership.
the PSP 3000 will be phased out as soon as sony can.
i'm not jealous, stuck in the dark ages, nor do i want a Ferrari analogy as i am not stupid marketing fodder or 10 years old.

1. Isn't tethering essentially useless because of the obscene restrictions placed on it by the network providers?
Try downloading more than one game and a few vids on the measly amount O2 offer up per month before charging you silly money.
