The Go!Cam has been announced for a May 16, 2007 release across Europe and the PAL territories with a retail price of of €49.99 (about $70 USD). The US release date and pricing will likely be announced very soon. We'll post an update here with the release date and pricing in the US.
UPDATE 5/3/07: We received the following response from Sony's US PlayStation Portable PR Manager: "We don't have an update on any PSP camera peripheral for the U.S. at this point, but we're always evaluating opportunities to expand the features of the PSP." So as it appears right now, there's no tentative release date fo the Go!Cam in the US. We'll keep you updated.

Shoot for fun with Go!Cam, the new video camera accessory for PSP
London, 1st May 2007. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced the arrival of the PSP™(PlayStation®Portable) camera, Go!Cam.
To be released on 16th May 2007 across Europe and the PAL territories, Go!Cam promises to bring the creativity of film, photos and the fun of PSP together to create a camera for all ages and all occasions. With a retail price of €49.99 (£34.99), Go!Cam is yet another example of how PSP is a mobile entertainment system with no limits.
With up to two and half hours video recording time and the ability to take and store over 40,000 photos*, Go!Cam seamlessly converts PSP to a portable, functional and fun camera.
Go!Cam offers a built in microphone to ensure continuous audio, the ability to change the direction of the camera lens vertically by 180 degrees and Go!Edit, an editing software package which allows users to save and edit photos, video and audio clips.
"Go!Cam is fantastic news for all those PSP owners looking for something new, fun and creative,” said Stephane Hareau, PSP Marketing Manager, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. “With Summer around the corner and the ability to turn your PSP into a mini camcorder and capture all the best moments in your life, this is yet another reason to get a PSP and to take advantage of truly portable entertainment. It demonstrates yet again the potential, versatility and evolving nature of PSP."
Go!Edit software
Go!Edit editing software, bundled free with Go!Cam allows you to transform your PSP into a portable editing suite, letting you edit on the move. With the ability to enhance movies and photos with sounds and graphical effects, Go!Edit provides everything to make a mini masterpiece. Go!Edit also allows the option to upload creations onto the internet directly from the PSP, meaning that nothing need stand in your way to share your masterpiece with the world.

Written by Guest on 2007-06-06 00:00:00come they could have done better with the megapixels they put 3.2 in their mobile phones for god sake lol still looks swish though
Written by Guest on 2007-05-12 00:00:00guys the reason its 1.3mp is becuz thats so that when ur using the wecam on this thing the frame rate goes smoothly any higher and it may go choppy and have frame rate problems
mr.cool Written by Guest on 2007-05-24 00:00:00 COOL
You guys are stupid Written by Guest on 2007-10-05 00:00:00For god sake. You guys are so stupid. You are saying how it needs more zoom, but it could not have optical zoom because it is too small. 1.3P MP is good for the price. If you knew anything you should know the best results don't always come from higher
Written by Guest on 2007-10-21 00:00:00its 3.1 mp, not 1.3
Boring Written by Guest on 2007-05-23 00:00:00My LG cellphone takes better pictures and video. Is this the BEST Sony can do? It is ugly too.
