Sony's New PSP E-1000: That's.....Something

Meet the PSP you never wanted. (Via)

During its Gamescom press conference, Sony talked a whole bunch about the PlayStation Vita but announced a rather strange PSP model. This new model is a Europe only release, this PSP promises to be compatible with the entire PSP catalog but will not have a Wi-Fi option and is apparently being released because of a resurgence of PSP sales within Europe. It'll set you back 99 Euros, but at a time when the Vita's release is around the corner and PSP's are already around that price point? Seems like an odd release.
