To celebrate the launch we have two great offers to help kick start your games collection on PSPgo! First up, you can get yourself a free copy of Gran Turismo if you buy a PSPgo and download the special Gran Turismo theme from the PlayStation store on to your PSPgo by the 10th October. For all the details click here.

Second, we have PSPgo Rewards. If you own a PSP-1000, 2000 or 3000 and a Universal Media Disc and own a PSPgo you can claim your choice of three free games from an all star list of titles including Killzone: Liberation, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3, WipEout Pure, echochrome Buzz!: Brain Bender, LocoRoco and Patapon. Head over to www.eu.playstation.com/pspgorewards for more details and full terms and conditions. Just to let you know we currently have an incorrect message about the PSP Reward scheme on the Store. The message tells you to register a Universal Media Disc version of the game that you want to download however this is wrong and we are working on correcting it in the next update. All you have to do is register 1 Universal Media Disc to download 3 games from the list.

It is also launch day for minis on PSP! Minis are bite-sized games you can play on the move. Quick and easy to download and created by innovative developers from all over the world.
