The PSP Go?

Copying from site for speed:

Keeping in line with every major E3 announcement usually leaking before E3, here’s probably your first taste of the PSP Go; via the GamingConsoleNetwork who’ve acquired this image through the June edition of Sony’s monthly digital magazine: Qore.

If that's true, it looks incredibly ugly. Usually Sony has some very slick designs, and this doesn't seem to fit in.

That's ugly man...

I must admit, I have to agree. It looks a lot tackier compared to the original design. But it also looks legit too!

That looks real, including the single nub that 1UP said Sony was going with, and also looks easy to break.  I'd have to hold one in my hands before I even considered picking one up.  I'm only even considering buying one these days because of the Persona PSP game.  Damn you Atlus!!

Do not want, that doesn't look very slick to me.

I think the analog nub is in a really awkward position there too.

Just an observation, not a "try" to do anything.

No dual-analog? If that is real I'm going to be very disappointed.

How in the hell did they actually make something more poorly designed then the original phat psp? And still no second analog stick? I have a feeling this hand held isn't going to do very well.

Depending on price and the services that go with it, might be a purchase for me.

When did I speak so highly of myself? It's not like I have a subscription... or want one... And why are you creating sub-drama if you don't want to?

So, it's legit. Damn, they outdid themselves in ugly system design... And stupid name when they already have a Go! bundle.

But nice to see Little Big Planet PSP. Right?

I don't understand why the screen slides down, if you need you slide it up to use the controls.

The UK thing was called Go!View not
PSP Go!

It does look legit, it also looks a little tacky, as some others have already said. I will though wait to actually get a feel of it, before passing full judgment, especially after my experience with the DSi.

I really like how it looks when it's closed. But when open, the button layout, and those dodgy rings around the buttons, and the placement of Start and Select... that puts me off.

Closed it looks fine. Open it looks terrible.

EDIT: Plenty of people over at NeoGaf are currently downloading Qore so we should have confirmation pretty soon. Whoever works at Sony that made this available is about to get the sack.

NeoGAF dudes say tis legit so... I guess not 100% yet but it's likely. And yeah, it looks uncomfortable, but maybe it's not.

I have a feeling that they're going a different direction in terms of software for the new PSP. Leaving out the second analog nub and (supposedly) switching to download-only; I figure that we'll see many more smaller, bite-sized games compared to the typical "let's make a PS2 game and cram it on a hand held" that the current iteration of the PSP goes for. If that's the case, I think this new PSP (if priced right, of course) could actually be a better success than the original PSP.

Oh, and I like the design. Kind of reminds me of a sidekick.

I guess even though it's leaked now it doesn't really matter seeing as it's so close to E3
Not great that it was leaked really, but who didn't know this was coming? Basically this is just putting a face to what people have been saying for months.

Has 16GB built-in memory and bluetooth.

New Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops coming. Maybe that's what the teaser site is for?

Gran Turismo Mobile re-re-re-re-re-confirmed.

It just doesn't look like a Sony product. Compare to the new Aino they announced this week:



Ahhh well. I guess Sony's press conference just got totally underwhelmed.

new portable ops and GT coming too
from Qore

That leak is probably more damaging to the E3 conference I suppose.

Gran Turismo & a new Metal Gear: Portable Ops?!? Oh my God! Someone just TOTALLY got fired.

Ugghh jeese, it's so ugly! WTF!

I don't think it will be that detrimental to the conference. It's been rumored for a long time so it's not that big of a surprise, really.

I've got a bad feeling this is going to be...more expensive that the current PSP, which I thought they'd be moving away from to make a cheaper psp.

I think they mention it won't replace standard psp 3000, it will be sold alongside it. So, I guess it's not gonna be cheaper.

3.8" screen (smaller than current)
43% lighter than previous version
No UMD

K, that's it from me, done caring. Guess this is Sony's 2 biggest E3 stuff (other than GoW3 gameplay etc) out the bag. PSP Go and PS3 slim.

If this is the new design, it's going to be even MORE impossible to move and turn the camera in Monster Hunter now...

Ok last thing from me :P

Oh man... I wish that I'd never clicked on this thread. Now I can't Un-see it...

I'll re-iterate in saying that they'd be really stupid to not have some method of transferring your existing game collection onto the new systems memory. It pretty much has to happen if they want to sell any of the damn things.

I guess they must have something up there sleeves huh? Or this could be the worst disaster since the.. well... pick your poison, theres certainly been enough disasters in videogaming history.

We'll find out over the course of E3 I suspect.

Holy shit that's disgusting, do not want. I don't actually think I'll buy this, and I'm a huge PSP fan. How does that look playable at ALL? And people complained about hand cramps before!?
