The new style PSP, which will be 19 percent slimmer, 33 percent lighter and will boast faster UMD loading times as well as a new video-out port, is launching in Japan on September 20th, but Sony Europe president David Reeves has confirmed that the new model will be available in Europe before the Japanese launch date.

Reeves has told MCV that the new handheld will be priced at EUR169 (£115) and will be available in three different colours, Ceramic White, Piano Black and Ice Silver.

"This is an important new model," said Reeves, speaking to trade publication MCV. "Once people get it into their hands they will feel the difference. It will come out at EUR 169 (£115) in all PAL territories at the beginning of September."

A firm launch date is expected to be announced shortly.
