The long-rumored PSP revision revealed by Sony at this year's E3 press conference is now in stores, the console manufacturer announced today. Previously, Sony had provided a release date of September 10 for the redesigned portable.

Initially available only in the $199 Daxter Entertainment Pack--which bundles an "Ice Silver" edition of the system with a copy of Ready At Dawn's platformer Daxter, the Family Guy -- The Freakin' Sweet Collection video UMD, and a 1GB Memory Stick--the revised handheld will be sold by itself in "Piano Black" for $169.99 later in September.

A "Ceramic White" PSP arrives on October 9 in the $199 Star Wars Battlefront PSP Entertainment Pack, containing Rebellion's shooter Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron and an image of Darth Vader on the system's backside.

Slimmer and lighter than the original PSP, the revised PSP features a more responsive d-pad and buttons, as well as a video-out capability that allows games and media to be viewed on a television.
