Sorry Go!Messenger fans; the seven of you just aren’t enough to keep BT’s PSP messaging service going, so on March 31st it’s going to be shut down. Sony told the PlayStation forums that “Although Go!Messenger brought innovative communications features to the PSP community, the service has not developed the base of users that we were hoping for.”

Sony has revealed a set of three new colours for the PSP-3000. Last month, we were excited to see the Carnival collection heading to Japan, but we knew deep down that they’d never actually make it over here. Happily, along with the rest of Europe, we’ll soon get to choose between Mystic Silver, Pearl White and Radiant Red flavours of the handheld console.
PSP-3000 owners who want a convenient workaround for the system’s tightened security are going to have to keep sighting tight. Datel, makers of the Lite Blue Tool – a special battery that puts the PSP into service mode – have removed the devices from their website, revealing that the company faces legal action by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.
According to an anonymous source who apparently attended Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s Staff Annual Briefing (held last Friday in London), Sony have big plans for both the PS3 and PSP in 2009.
While crafty modders and homebrewers are praised by some of the gaming community, they’re the bane of videogame bigwigs. However, SCEE president David Reeves admits that while piracy “is a problem”, it can help improve sales.
