The Sony CES website reveals that the peripheral will work with navigation software, provided on UMD. "Your PSP will provide 2D/3D locations, driving directions, POI's, and even downloadable city guides. With an easy search feature feature and customizable settings, GPS on PSP is the easiest way to navigate new areas and new cities."
An official release date and price have yet to be revealed, but we're glad to see it's finally coming. Hey, didn't we predict GPS coming out this year?
[Thanks, kspraydad!]

Speaking of things that have been announced for America, but still don't have a release date, I still want to know when the DualShock 3 is coming out, because I'm not spending next to $100 for an import.

I ordered a dual shock 3 from play-asia for $61(included $5 coupon code) shipped on 12/31. I should be getting it this week.
I figure when it comes to the US, it will be $50. So, I'm paying $10 more to get it now. That is fine with me.

@Hoffer
Yeah, that doesn't sound like a bad deal, but I've searched for it on Amazon, to see if you could preorder it, and you can buy the import for ninety-something dollars. No thank you. :P

The DS3 is on the SONY CES site too so it shouldn't be long!

Here is the latest from the EU playstation site about GPS:
Making use of a GPS receiver attachment and a software UMD featuring your chosen maps, Go!Explore offers the very latest in map data and navigation software. Maps and points of interest are upgradeable via downloads, while new maps and guides can be purchased from PLAYSTATION Store (PC).
Nice to hear it will be upgradeable online - just hope it don't cost too much...

I'm hoping they upgrade the camera to 3mpx...
The 1.2 or whatever doesn't do it for me.

This one better not turn out to be slim-only too.

Not Slim Only. The Go!Cam works on the Slim and so will the GPS. Skype is Slim only because of the hardware changes, that benefit the Software. I'm waiting an hour, and I bet like someone else said that the Go!Cam will be announced. Hopefully for March or earlier because my birthday is coming up soon!

im not so excited about the Go! Cam like everyone else seems to be since i already a crappy 1.3mp camera on my phone (and it does unlimited videos), why do i need one on my PSP too?
this GPS receiver on the other hand is right up my alley since i was already considering getting a GPS anyway to add to my gadget entourage.

I'm excited because I don't have a camera phone, and I don't feel like paying a couple hundred dollars for a phone that does have a camera when I already have a cell phone that works fine as it is. Also, I would hope that, with the camera, there would then be an announcement in the future regarding video chat PS3-to-PSP or vice-versa.
Also, if and when they release the Go!Cam, you don't have to buy it.
