Euro-Psp Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced that the PSP will be released in Europe on September 1, 2005 for €249 (£179). The European PSP will be offered in a Value Pack nearly identical to the one sold in the US and Japan, except PSP owners will have to register the device to order a free copy of Spider-Man 2 on UMD movie — it won't be included in the box like in the US.

“PlayStation Portable will revolutionise portable entertainment, giving users the freedom to play full 3D games, watch movies, listen to music and connect wirelessly on their terms, wherever and whenever they wish to do so,” said David Reeves, President of SCEE. “More than ever, today’s consumer demands access to their personal entertainment outside the home, without compromising quality. With more than 100 PlayStation Portable game titles currently in development worldwide, and the ability to download and listen to music, and view feature films with breathtaking screen quality, PlayStation Portable lets users control their entertainment options, all in a single package.”
