How long can one depend on being tied to the keyboard and mouse for the ultimate gaming experience? Now we are living in the golden ages which everyone keeps talking about. Over two short years we have witnessed the launch of many high-profile gaming consoles, each of which promises to change the gaming world forever! The Xbox 360 has its cult online, and the playstation 3 has its terrifying hardware! From “complete home entertainment systems” to amusement devices, gaming consoles are going at it like never before. It almost hurts the brain to try and conceive of a console beyond what we already have-both Xbox 360 and ps3 are formidable machines that have not gotten to show their full potential.

The next one on the list is the Sony PSP, which is being offered for free from marketers to customers in the UK! Dreams spewed by research groups are all very well, but we want more concrete information, don’t we? If any thing is given free, people immediately rush to the shops to get them, no matter how busy they are, their next action would be to get the products.

Marketers wisely used this concept, and decided to give away the consoles as a part of their affiliate marketing strategy. The companies indirectly gains new customers through this way.

Sony was not able to keep the lid on this product. There were lots of leaks about it in the media, and its price was considered one of the worst kept secrets of the industry. The PSP Go is providing lots of surprises to the customers for this release. The top surprise is the 16 GB flash memory drive and the additional multimedia ports to add more memory. The “sense me” application also provides a bonus surprise. The application picks up the play list based on a person’s mood. It does this by using a 12 tome melodic analyzer. The launch of the PSP Go Media device provides a plethora of options for the users to choose from, options ranging from games, music, and access to the playstation store. Its price is also steadily dropping day by day, thus encourage more people to get the PSP!

The latest announcement of the PSP includes a thin, pink ‘Hannah Montana’ PSP and a gaming bundle. A PSP has been exclusively designed for the “Grand Turismo” game. Also another game call “Peace Walker” is coming for the PSP GO, which is a sequel to the “Metal Gear Franchise”. This is often regarded as the true sequel, and the team behind MSG4 will also be involved in the game. The catchiest development in this product is the graphics, which one can see in the trailers. Its looks resemble a cold war era metal gear title. The unique features and the free version make people to go crazy about the free Sony PSO. Its launch in the UK has made it the tea time talk for many UK customers.
