It's supposably leaked from the newest QORE(Go download it right now! GO GO). Notice the lack of UMD drive meaning that if legit, Sony fucked over anyone that bought games. And if theres no issue with doing that, why not just add a second thumbstick? I hate them.

Pretty ugly, much prefer the original design. Nub placement is terrible.

I'll stick with my CFW PSP.

FUGLY!

As for the UMD games there will* be a way(Japan only  :lol) to transfer it to memory stick or a code(for download).Machines that eat up UMDs...
Apparently Sony is not too happy to do it,but bu bu bu what about UMD, journalist questions are stronger   


*from a good source...but rumor until confirmed

2003:

"Hey, let's design a handheld that's somewhere between a ps1 and ps2 in power, for kickass 3D gaming on the go."

"Sounds great!  Where should we put the analog sticks?"

"Fuck a bunch of analog sticks, nerd.  Who needs analog sticks for 3D gaming?"

2004:

"Okay, okay, you'll get one fucking analog nub.  That's plenty.  Now shut the fuck up."

2008:

"You know what would really put us over the top for this fourth revision?  Make this bitch smaller, and download only.  People like it when you shrink stuff and make it slide or fold out or whatever the fuck.  We could be making all kinds of Nintendo and Apple money if we did that.  Extra battery life, extra portability, and plus the memory stick division needs a extra kick in the ass by a boot full of money.  Get on it."

"Do you think we could take this opportunity to correct the 3D camera control problems and add a second nub somewhere?"

"Dude, just take the one we have and shove it in there somewhere.  I swear to God, all you do is flapflapflap your fucking suckhole about that 3D analog camera control bullshit.  We're not getting any richer with you just standing there with that look on your face, by the way."

Can't believe this is real, it looks so fucking awful.  So they made the design worse, gave it a recessed d-pad, and put the nub in a terrible spot to cramp your hands when playing.  What the fuck are they thinking?

best looking handheld to something ugly like this.  the shoulder buttons and analog nub look like they will be hell to use too.  Just wtf.

at least new metal gear and gran tursimo PSP are confirmed.

Well Japan is their biggest software market...
Its more like transitional gesture to soften the impact of what about UMDs

Besides everybody that owns UMDs has PSP capable of playing it.

Why would they prevent people to rebuy games?They have to pay money for those machines*

Looks like trash. If anything, it'll drive PSP-3000 prices way down (despite the exec dude saying that it'll be sold alongside the current-gen PSP models), so I can finally upgrade my PSP phat.

I didn't even consider that the new screen with throw off the balance.  That's one reason why I dislike playing my DS systems.

btw, it also confirms that new PS3 redesign.  Same exact styles of boxes are being used.

even the screen is smaller.  smh

3.8" screen  (PSP currently has 4.3" screen.  The DSi got a .5 inch bigger screen, PSP Go gets .5 inch smaller screen lol)
43% lighter than previous version
16 Gig memory
Bluetooth support
No UMD
Downloads games and movies

look at that fucking design.  It even has spaces for 2 analog nubs yet they put start select there.  What trash.

just goes to show some people will defend anything to justify whatever laughable sense of loyalty they have bouncing alongside the wasps in their brain

actually, watching the qore video the thing does look really tiny.  it's still ugly when open, but maybe the shoulder buttons won't be a problem.  They also see mto come down the side a bit too, not just at the top.

I mean, unless Veronica Belmont has man hands.

thin.

on second thought the nub placement is slighlty similar to how it looks on a dual shock (imagine the other groove has another nub instead of the start/select buttons).

Will like to see it being used first

One hilarious thing I just realized is that they let you slide the screen, but other than L/R, you have no control over the actions.  If you want to use media or even use the browser, you still need to open the device up.  Good jon, sony.

and it's releasing in fall.  Gran Turismo PSP most likely launching with it.  It's considered a premium product and may not cost less than the current PSP.

No touch screen or accelerometer .  The only buttons accessible on the outside seem to be volume, home and L/R.

another thing I just realized.  With the PSP-3000, they finally eliminated the ugly semi circle buttons from the PSP and went with more rounded ones.  Now they're back with a vengeance taking up the spot of the second analog nub.

It has bluetooth so maybe Skype will come pre-loaded?

well the PSP- 2000s and up had Skype on the firmware so it will more likely continue that tradition.

but i was more talking the pure phone capability since not everyone will know skype compared to just going to the "phone" feature (like the iphone)

that's perfect

when you hold something small in both hands, the tips of your thumbs naturally point upwards

the way the nub is now, and on the go, you have to stretch your thumb out, which leads to cramping in a short amount of time

Sony needs to cut their losses and GTFO of the handheld business. Make that the videogame business, period actually. You guys had a good run, but they're looking more and more like the late SEGA days. This thing doesn't even play existing games, unless with a transfer? This thing seems like a Sony shot in the dark to cut down on piracy, by having download only games.

Ugh No, even with this idiotic redesign, I'm still grateful for having another handheld besides by DS. Can you imagine how fucking horrible it would've been if only we had the DS this gen?

That's basically the only handheld anyone cares about anyway. I haven't heard shit about the PSP for like a year, its the most forgotten videogame system on the market. No one ever talks about the games on it (maybe because they're all readily available on consoles.)  And then when most the games come out, they don't sale because everyone just pirates them. The whole movie thing crashed and burned there (as predicted.)

Just look at the release list here:

06/08   Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10
06/09   Class of Heroes
   Indiana Jones and the Staff of ...
   Rock Band Unplugged
06/16   Ghostbusters The Video Game

Why are you all upset?  This looks like a hardware revision ala dsi and not a successor.  If anything its a test product for digital distribution.  Now if there are exclusive GO games incompatible with older units then shit sucks yeah.  They should've implemented more standard hardware features in the unit though.

That was for Hollywood who had the audacity to post a list of the PSP's upcoming releases :P

If anything it's clear that companies were holding off on announcing games until the announcement of redesign debut.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Motorstorm, LBP, and Assasin's Creed. Ok, I'm done.
[close]

I don't do list wars. The point isn't the games I listed, I just got a release date to show the AMOUNT of games there are. There's just not that many anymore. No one buys games for it. You can say thats because of piracy or because people just bought it because it was the new sleek electronics thing, or whatever it is. I don't disagree with you on that having competition is a good thing, but as far as what this console brings to the table its almost completely irrelevant. Sony's never really made PSP something where buying games for is offers you something different from playing a PS2 or PS3.

Aren't both DSi screen touch based? That didn't break the older games! And the fucking DSi was BC with existing DS games!

This is a half assed attempt at a PSP2 anyone that thinks differently is a tool. They're rushing it out to compete with the DSi and it just wont work.

No, only the bottom on is still a touchscreen. Still, it's got a totally different firmware and a camera and an SD slot and online store, all of which can't be accessed by old DS games.

Makes sense.

By not including a second nub, making it hideous and all around piece of fucking shit, it's not going to appeal to pirates at all.  Better yet, it's not going to appeal to anyone at all.  Piracy rate is 0% percent.  Brilliant effort.

Redesign chatter aside, it bothers me that people are defending Sony's removal of the UMD slot.  It *is* alienating the current user base and it's basically telling all the stores carrying PSP games to effectively fuck off.  If they have a solution, like a UMD-ripping device or a way to download every game I've purchased previously, then no problem.

A lot of people still don't have the ability (or knowledge, lol) to be able to download large files so quickly and/or easily, and unlike say, the iPhone, I doubt new downloadable PSP games are going to be priced at around $1-$10 each.  $30-$40 download-only 200mb-1+gb portable game titles don't strike me as a particularly appealing way to spike sales.

Seriously, no matter how much you love/hate the idea behind this design, it's exremely idiotic for then not have any type of transfer tool. I know someone is going to bring up the "but what if people start renting and transferring games" argument, but I don't care. Having to buy this new model but still needing the older PSP around for whenever I wanna play older games just defeats the purpose of portability or "GO!" as Sony likes to put it.


They still haven't officially announced anything yet. That's why I'm saying for you all to cool your jets.

It's not really fair to judge the distribution model or how they will deal with existing UMD games yet.  All we know is that there is a proprietary port on the bottom of the device.  No word if there is or isn't going to be some way to play UMD games.  That stuff is going to be shown on Tuesday.

and it's good to see that in Playstation land anything remotely negative to with Sony is always attempted to be palmed off as some sort of fanboy slim.

I have bought 5 PSPs over time, there's fucking 7 in the house right this second (including the wifes) and in excess of 200 UMD based fucking games.

The delusional "it's sony , they said it's for the best, i will fall in line with their PR message straight from the mothership like a mindless fucking drone" attitude is fucking infuriating. If you can't see ANY of the negative points of this machine.... then tsk.






I see negative points, but the negative points are brought by people who this device probably isn't for. As Sony said, this isn't a new PSP, it's to go alongside the PSP 3000. Who gives a flying fuck if you can't play your UMD's on it if PSP 3000's are still going to be sold? You don't see me crying a river because my iPod games don't work on my iPhone.

Besides, half of you crying about the big internet sizes and all DD are the same distinguished mentally-challenged fellows who pirate PSP games anyways.

- Can't play UMD software. We don't know this yet, unless you mean UMD's.
- Battery is internal, which means changing it is going to require some surgery. Who gives a shit? Almost any handheld gaming device within the past 8 years has internal batteries
- New form factor might make it less comfortable for some. We don't know this yet.
- Incompatible with existing accessories. Again, we don't know this yet
- More difficult to access controls for media functions while the machine is closed, leaving the machine open while using it as a music player would obviously be stupid. Again, we don't know this yet.

yes, we do.  It doesn't have the port existing PSP accessories use.

As Sony said, this isn't a new PSP, it's to go alongside the PSP 3000. Who gives a flying fuck if you can't play your UMD's on it if PSP 3000's are still going to be sold?


....

so....

there's a whole slew of sony fans outside the XX million who already invested in PSP's who are just waiting in the wings for an internet redesign?

or Sony are going to expect some of that fanbase to buy another machine with the same abilities in a redesign but without the software base they either bought or pirated?

sounds completely fucking dumb to me and exactly the sort of thinking that is fucking sony up.

All that said, transfer tool would be awesoem for UMDs but i doubt it'll happen as that opens up the danger of someone hacking the licensing tool and backwards engineering this and they end up with no sales again.

I wonder what the price will be?

Can't play UMD software. We don't know this yet, unless you mean UMD's.
the lack of a UMD slot makes it a bit tricky and creating a UMD transfer tool is a security risk, so until something is announced, we shall see. At the moment , and because i've heard nothing else, i cannot see how this can play UMD games or movies at the moment.

I don't know, but I don't think this will be marketed towards their established fan base, rather towards new comers. Five bucks says it comes with a free $10 PSN card  :lol

- Can't play UMD software. We don't know this yet, unless you mean UMD's.
- Battery is internal, which means changing it is going to require some surgery. Who gives a shit? Almost any handheld gaming device within the past 8 years has internal batteries
- New form factor might make it less comfortable for some. We don't know this yet.
- Incompatible with existing accessories. Again, we don't know this yet
- More difficult to access controls for media functions while the machine is closed, leaving the machine open while using it as a music player would obviously be stupid. Again, we don't know this yet.

1.  Yes, I meant UMDs.  I think that's pretty obvious, but I guess I might have to go a bit slower here, seeing the way you've responded.
2.  Most handheld gaming devices have internal batteries, that's true.  But inaccessible batteries?  No, not really.
3.  That's why I said "might", and I think it's a safe assumption, as absolutely no device is perfect for everyone.  Interestingly you didn't use this logic to address my listing of this point in the positive column, but hey - whatever, man.
4.  Yes, we do.  You can visually eyeball the ports and connections this machine has.  They're different.
5.  Yes, we do.  You can eyeball the buttons on the machine.  When it's closed, it has three accessible buttons.  Maybe it comes with a remote?  I don't know.  You can get a remote for the existing PSP, though, without losing those buttons.

And yes dur hur hur the PSP 3000 will be sold alongside it.  But that has nothing at all to do with what I'm asking, which is why *anyone* would choose the GO over the 3k.


1. Weren't you one of the ones crying about UMDs in the first place, and now you're sad they're gone? I'm not sad in the least bit that they're gone.
2. The PSP Go's battery is about as inaccesable as any other device. We don't know what the internal looks like and we won't until it gets launched.
4. We don't know if there will be adapters or not.
5. Who knows they won't announce that it's a touch screen or something? That's what I was getting at.

And why would someone choose the Go over the 3K? Easy. Someone who doesn't have any UMD's at all.

The fanboys keep failing to address the fact that this redesign fucks over the PSP's existing userbase.  They might find it to be cold and lonely by setting those bridges on fire.  Not really sure what incentives Go would offer to bring the gamers to the yard.  Gran Turismo and Metal Gear won't really cut it.  Even fewer incentives to make PSP users ditch their previous models and disc games for this new model.  Except for those who have a lot of money and not a lot of common sense.

It's not really fair to judge the distribution model or how they will deal with existing UMD games yet.  [/b]All we know is that there is a proprietary port on the bottom of the device[/b].  No word if there is or isn't going to be some way to play UMD games.  That stuff is going to be shown on Tuesday.

S'cuse ma iggorance senior, but what's a propriety port?

A port that's made specifically for the device/Sony products/etc.  A USB 2.0 cable used on the old PSP is also used for most devices.  Any cable can really be used because it is a common jack.  What they have now seems like it's for a specific wire that the PSP Go uses.  Basically, all ipods use proprietary connectors instead of usb.

I'll step aside and become a "fanboy" for a second and say that again, how in any way does this fuck over the PSP's existing userbase? Sony will still be releasing UMD's of the games, and still selling the PSP 3000. It's like saying the DSi fucks over the DS userbase because some games are available over DSiWare, but not really, in that, the PSN games will be coming out on retail.

If Sony announced that they weren't printing anymore UMD games and that they were discontinuing the PSP 3000 then yes, this would be fucking over, but no, it doesn't do any of that, at all.

if i upgrade to a dsi, i can take all the games i already own to the DSi.
i don't presonally see the point and i haven't upgraded.

However, if i did want a PSP Go! because i liked the design/it's thin/etc then i would have (until it's announced otherwise) no way to play the games i have already bought.

Also, i have four (yes i know) batteries for my PSP for long flights and travel. Again, yeah, you're right - i don't have to upgrade because PSP3000 etc etc, but isn't that exactly the point? if people are already saying "oh you own a PSP but you have this qualm? fine, you don't have to upgrade" seems to already spell out that this is going to be a bit of a disaster unless they have a UMD solution.



I was being serious :P. I used to own a DS Lite but sold it, and I want to play Rhythm Heaven as I loved Rythym Tengoku. But, DSi Ware seems kinda lame so far :/

was this actually announced with a date? because at this point i expect Lord Lucan and Elvis to be on a stage on the mood demoing this at this point.

In the Qore video they mention it a lot, even ending by saying "they're about to play it."  The rumors about the Go, which was highly specific about the looks and name of the device, were all true and they also said that Gran Turismo PSP is launching with the thing.  Seems like it actually might finally come out.

if it has a mem stick option, then why would they even bother with this.

If they are doing some sort of different lock out on the HDD :/


It uses ms micro or something smaller now.  I wouldn't be surprised if they only allowed games on the internal memory, and everything else (movies, music, saves, etc.) on the memory stick.

I'm not quite sure who this is aimed that.  Existing PSP owners are going to be hesitant to upgrade, and new users will probably just be confused by the strict DDL model.

What I don't understand is why Nintendo and Sony aren't making true successors.  I thought the dsi would at least have tilt and a second touchscreen. After the success of the ds and smartphones I figured if the next psp wanted to be relevant they'd incorporate at LEAST a touchscreen.

It took like, 11 years to get a true gameboy successor and thats a sad precedent to follow.

The DS still sells well.  A 2006 release (NSMB) still manages to sell pretty decently, as I'm sure Mario Kart DS does as well.  I don't really think Nintendo is going to cut their total sales short by rushing out an unnecessary successor.  It probably won't be 2015 until we get the DS2 but there is still another couple of years at least.

As for Sony, they seem more focused on curbing piracy (which may be temporary; the PSP Go could easily be hackable) than worrying about the long term.  With the Monster Hunter Portable craze nearly cashed out, there ain't much life left on the handheld.  The PSP Go will probably strangle the little momentum that is left.  I don't have much faith in LBP selling (it sold like ass on the PS3) and who knows if Gran Turismo is actually coming out for the thing.

The 3000 would still be receiving game releases on UMD's, and they could also stock on game boxes that contains manuals and download vouchers like they did with Patapon 2.

But that would still piss off EB/GS and Gamecrazy from losing potential used sales.

Patapon is going to backfire. Anyone who has ever worked in retail will tell you that people are dirt stupid and Gamestop will be flooded with returns on the thing when people open it and don't find a UMD inside.

Do you buy DDL games on PSN?  I'm curious what difference it makes on a console versus a handheld.  I don't mind not owning hard copies of full DDL games likes Warhawk and Tekken 5 DR Online, for example.  If I ever got Burnout Paradise, I'd get the DDL version too.  PC users don't seem to have problems with Steam releases either.

The DD-only idea must look like such an elegant solution to a lot of problems for the game industry.  My gut tells me that killing off the rental/used market is going to have unintended consequences for the overall health of the industry, but I have nothing to back that other than a hypothesis and my previously mentioned gut.

Of course it will, but not just because of the second hand market. Eventually they'll find out that their figures on piracy are wrong and so is their pricing, that digital downloads alone aren't probably ever going to mass market any time soon and that having a retail presence is worth more than having better margin on your download service.

Unless they work out that DD and retail need different pricing models it's not going to be overly successful. See PC.

Good stuff.  I still think the original PSP design is a heaping piece of shit though.  The screen is sexy, but beyond that it is the most uncomfortable portable I have ever gamed on.  I'm hoping the new design allows for easier use of the nub with the triggers, even if it only has one.  :/

I'll have to hold one before I make my final judgement, but looks like shit and no umd drive is retardo.

Hardcores have a PSP already, so probaby wont upgrade as you cant play your software on the thing. And Im guessing purely digital distribution would intimidate and put off casuals? iPhone software seems popular, but that has tilt/touch screen and is an Apple product.I dont see Sony getting any of their marketshare...

another poorly thought out product by Sony... but to be honest PS1 and PS2 were complete flukes - Sony have never known what theyre doing gaming wise

For many games, that wouldn't even be a problem. With nearly all of  the 3d games on the platform though, 2 analog nubs is a necessity. The lack of a second nub is incredibly short sighted, especially considering that the premier launch game was a 3d platformer.

Why the fuck would you take out something as simple and standardized as a mini-USB port?!?  Sony is trying to nickel and dime everyone to death.  Lame-o.

Are they serious?

That PSP archie sold to me didn't come with a USB cable, so I pulled out an old one from my cable bin and it worked.

Good luck to you if you lose the USB cable for this system! I reiterate, why would you buy this?

Sony had a spot in its press-only booth area reserved for showing off the various accessories that will be available for PSP Go when it hits US shelves on October 1. There were cases, wrist straps, Sony-branded screen protectors ... and wait, what was that? Since the handheld doesn't have a standard mini USB port like the PSP-3000, we'll have to buy all new accessories? Sad, but true.

The PSP Go has a new multifunction port on its base (check out the video!) that is used for everything from data transfer to charging to video output. While asking owners of the older model to change a USB cable is not really a big deal, the fact that more expensive existing accessories -- such as component A/V cables, voice headsets and pretty much anything made to work with the 3000 -- are completely incompatible is cringe-worthy. That's not even taking into account third-party add-ons, or things like Sony's own GPS module.

We know Sony is planning a trade-in program for UMD games; somehow we think the company won't be extending the same offer to include cables, peripherals and other accessories.

I just wonder how many of these will be packaged with the Go! (there isn't an official word on that yet)

I can understand why the AV cables won't, but the headset and USB connector should!


according to their site the only thing you really get at initial purchase is the usb cable. The rest are the "premium" accessories.

The PSP®go System includes:

    * PSP®go System (Available in Piano Black or Pearl White)
    * USB Cable
    * AC Adaptor

Premium Peripherals for the PSP® go

    * Composite AV Cable
    * Component AV Cable
    * AC Adaptor
    * USB Cable
    * Single Cradle (For charging and USB data transfer)
    * Protective Filter
    * Low-end case/pouch
    * Mid-range case/pouch
    * High-end case/pouch
    * Memory Stick Micro (M2) 2GB and 4GB
    * Wired Headphones


Will see if any of this will be changed near launch  :lol

ROFL at this bullshit.

So essentially you have to repurchase most of the PSP accessories (AV cables) for the PSP Go.

Sony isn't even trying to pretend like they're not horsefucking the consumer.

Eat shit, Sony.  I hope this POS gets hacked in a few weeks after release.

So it's confirmed that it won't be packaged with a headphone, pouch, or a bare minimum M2 stick? (which is ironic because Sony considers this as a "premium" model, when it only contains the accessories of a "basic" PSP)

They could've at least included the headphones instead of the AC adapter since the USB cable can charge the PSP.

or does it?...............................................

 :lol

on a serious note

I can see with not giving an M2 stick (you have 16 fucking GBs out of the box already or whatever the actual number is after formating, etc) but the lack of headphones and pouch really kills the illusion of being a premium model and the "introduction to this new lifestyle" angle

The one nice thing about the TV Out cable for the Go is that you can now use the Dual Shock 3 to play games.  Of course there is the problem of not being able to charge while using TV out, but maybe Sony could that out by it's release.

I'm sticking with my 2000 but will be buying PSP games on PSN from now on.  I will probably buy a Go, or some iteration of the Go, in the future when the price is much lower, but at $250 and an unknown way to play my dozens of existing PSP games, isn't really worth it yet.  Actually, I might pick up a 3000 now that its been hacked.

Haven't seen this confirmed anywhere.

BTW you can do all this with a regular (hacked) PSP.  Even play it full-screen and nicely-filtered with any USB controller on a PC.

Retailers have got to be concerned with this new model too.  All new accessories n' shit, and no games to sell with it.   :lol

It's already been done once with Resistance Retribution, which IIRC even lets you use both analog sticks on the PS3 pad.

Retribution would look so, so ugly blown up on any TV over 19".  My point is that this completely misses the whole point of the PSP being a portable system.  Then again, I thought the Gameboy player was the dumbest thing ever, too.

That's the equivalent of $366. So much for launching the thing at the same price the original was at launch (£179). Sucks to be a Euro-Sigarillo.

The reason it is so expensive is because Sony has to give a fat profit margin to retailers this time around to compensate for lost software sales.  Why the hell would they carry the thing otherwise?

Some games look better than others, but sure.  If you're spending a lot of time with a game and would like to play it on a bigger, brighter screen, that option is there for you.  Gameboy Player (and the Super Gameboy before it) was awesome because at the time the Gameboy line's screens weren't the greatest, plus those who didn't give a crap about portables but had interest in some of the games could now play them (legally, lol).

Game is taking pre-orders at a "guide price" of £230, a significant jump over the average retail price of £100 for the current PSP.

$165 vs $380

A full game with the system would have at least added a little value. But a demo? Sony really can't do anything right with this system. The Go should have been a nice boost in sales for them, but it's looking like a huge bomb. Sad, because I'd love to see the PSP get more attention, I love mine.

Smaller form factor means smaller battery.  Same thing happened with the iPhone.  The 2g version has a slightly bigger battery.  When the 3g came out the form factor was slimmed and a smaller battery was used since the 2g batteries would have not fit in the device.
