In the US, Sony is partnering exclusively with AT&T Inc for cellphone service.
The device, available for $249 for its Wi-Fi-only version, was unveiled Monday at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the video game industry's annual convention known as E3.
A version that will also have cellphone service will retail for $299, and buyers will have to subscribe to a cellular data plan.

The handheld has front and back cameras, a touchscreen in front, a touch pad on the back and two knob-like joysticks. It will enable gamers to play against people using PlayStation 3 consoles over the Internet-based PlayStation Network, a system that was recently restored after being shut down due to a massive hacking attack.

Sony apologised again for the outage and said since the network was restored, activity is back to 90 per cent of the pre-attack level.
