Much has been said about the UMD-less, sliding-screen PSP Go. Rumors and speculation will be put to the test next week during E3, but it seems a little bit of Sony's thunder was stolen by this week's biggest PSP-related headline: the alleged confirmation of the PSP Go in a suspiciously early release of Sony's own video mag, Qore.

Is it the real deal? It definitely seems like it. We'll find out more next week. For now, read on for the rest of the PSP Weekend Warrior.
