Sony has released details of the new PSP Giga Pack, which will be available for a limited time commencing November 2005.

The PSP Giga Pack will retail for US $299, and includes the PSP System, a 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, battery pack, AC adaptor, USB Cable, and an all-new PSP Stand.

The PSP Giga Pack will come pre-installed with the PSP Firmware 2.0, allowing users to take advantage of the PSP’s Wi-Fi capability to search for and download content from the Internet via Internet Access Points or “hot spots”.

Consumers will also be able to download videos, music and photos from the Internet or a USB-connected PC onto their memory sticks. Customers who have already bought a PSP Value Pack will be able to purchase the PSP 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo separately.

Jack Tretton, Sony’s executive vice president of sales and marketing, had the following to say about the release of the PSP Giga Pack:

“As we approach our first holiday season with PSP, offering consumers a new value option in the Giga Pack demonstrates our commitment to allowing consumers [to] further control and customize their entertainment options.”

To date, Sony has sold more than 2.2 million PSP units in North America alone. There are currently over 45 games and 200 feature films available for the PSP on Universal Media Discs (UMD).
