Sony Shows Off PlayStation Updates At German Gaming Convention

The Leipzig Games Convention (a.k.a. the GC) is going fast and
furious through the end of the week in Germany, and Sony has started
things off with a slew of updates and revelations about their
PlayStation line of gaming devices. First, the company finally made the
PSP-3000 official, another tweak to their aged but ultimately
respectable PSP. It'll be more or less the same as the PSP-2000 (last
year's slimmer model), but will feature an included microphone for
Skype calling and a screen that is said to be better for outdoor gaming.

The rest of the news surrounds the PlayStation 3, which is getting a
clip-on keypad for its controllers, very similar to the Xbox 360 keypad
Microsoft released last year. No word on pricing or availability yet,
but we have both of those stats for yet another PS3 bundle. This one
features a console with a 160-gigabyte hard drive, a copy of
'Uncharted: Drake's Fortune,' and a slew of downloads from Sony's PSN
store. That'll be $499 this November, but if you can't wait that long
or don't need the extra disk space, the new $399 80-gigabyte model
system is now hitting stores near you right this very moment -- unless
you live in Europe, in which case you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

While it's not expected that Nintendo will be dropping any bombshells
at the show, everyone's sure that a price drop for the Xbox 360 is in
the cards in the very near future. Will Microsoft take this opportunity
to let loose with the news? We shall see.
