It's been several months since Sony released it's "Chotto Shot" camera in Japan, and it was starting to look like we weren't getting any attention. They've finally got it together, as Sony prepares to release the Go!Cam and it's Go!Edit software. For those of you in the PAL region, you'll be able to pick up your PSP-compatible camera on May 16th, for €50 (~$6.
No official word of a US release, but there's a good chance an announcement will follow once Europe gets theirs. Maybe Sony owes them something for the three and a half month PS3 wait. We'll let you know when the US gets it's turn; in the mean time, read on to learn more about Europe's new Go!Cam.

London, 1st May 2007. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced the arrival of the PSP™(PlayStation®Portable) camera, Go!Cam.
