At the Games Convention in Leipzig, Sony has officially announced the release of the third-generation PlayStation Portable (PSP-3000). The new PSP model will have a built-in mic, have a enhanced LCD screen what will increase the intensity and number of colours that can be displayed. According to David Reeves, the new PSP will launch in PAL territories on October 15th 2008, retailing for ?199 (approx. $292).

As you are aware, the PSP scene has really died down in the last few months. We less and less things for us to report on, we have decided to delay the next issue of the XTREME PSP Magazine until we have enough content to report on. There is plenty of PlayStation 3 content for us to report on but as the magazine is mainly a PSP mag, we want to ensure there is enough PSP content covered for readers who don’t own a PS3.

We don’t have a ETA on when the next issue will be out but we will keep you posted on our website. As for PSP M4M Mag, it’s still on schedule for launch later this month. We’ve got great content in the upcoming issue including the Red Bull Air Race London and the British International Motor Show.
