Sony's PSP handheld console will go on sale in Europe on 1 September, nine months after it hit Japanese stores.

The PSP is a games console which can also play movies and music, and will sell for 249 euros (£179).

In the US the console sells for $249 (£129) plus tax. More than 1.5 million units have been sold globally.

A spokesman for Sony in the UK said it was confident there would be enough stock to satisfy demand for the new machine on day one. The company has defended the price difference between the US and UK, pointing out that American prices were subject to local sales tax and that VAT in the UK was higher.
