PSP Go revealed in June Qore, with pics and video

OK folks, it's go time. PSP Go, that is. Images of the long-rumored handheld have supposedly surfaced thanks to an early release of Qore's June issue. Not just an image, there's even a shot of the pack and mention of launch games.

According to Gaming Console Network, the PSP Go looks like this:

Okay. Kinda fugly, but that's alright. GCN also said that it will have 16GB memory (this is on-board, I think) and another memory slot, presumably for a memory stick. The price is still TBA and the release is this fall. Also, the PSP Go won't be replacing the PSP 3000. Instead they'll be both sold side by side.

Here are some shots of the PSP Go packaging from PlayStation LifeStyle:

And finally, here's a video of the Qore episode that talks about the PSP Go. Listen carefully for the launch titles. I heard LittleBigPlanet, Gran Turismo (which will supposedly be announced at E3), Jak and Daxter, and a new Metal Gear Solid. Is this the new Metal Gear that's being teased?

Goddammit E3, hurry up and answer all our questions!

Note: Had to replace the video since the first one got pulled.

Rumor: UMD-less PSP announcement next week, PS3 slim after summer

I think it looks pretty sick.......16GB onboard memory is pretty sweet too...I thought that they'd definately add a second analog though....I'm still confused... so this is not going to replace the psp3k?....does that mean all the best new games released will work on both or will the psp go ones be better or what?.

# hmm — Seoulfood 2009-05-30 07:13

Bigger than the effective confirmation of the PSP Go!, I'm more excited about this news of the next MGS being on the PSP. I looooved MGS PO.

# great,or not — devi59 2009-05-30 07:14

I like it. I have 2 psp 2ks one OFW one CFW. After seeing this, I think my son is about to get my OFW and I'm gonna get this. A co-worker said he read somewhere that stores may be Kiosks to "rip" our UMDs.

# my guess... — Miclowgunman 2009-05-30 07:18

The purpose of this is to test a smaller psp with a built in memory with no umd. The specs are probably the same, the only difference seems to be blue tooth and the 16GB. They don't want to get rid of the UMD using 3000 yet because games are still comming out on umd. So think of it as a psp 3000 with no umd and onboard memory, thats a little smaller. I wish they would have put a camera on it though. I wonder if the camera will even fit on this thing?

# Hi — martin447 2009-05-30 07:18

think of this PSP Go as a PSP model 4000.

this won't work as a PSP2, it won't get dedicated games, it is just like any other current model of the PSP, just a new desgin and features.

and i like the look of it, and it's quite a bit smaller, definately something i would consider having in my pocket.

the older PSPs were just a bit too big for the average pocket, but this looks just perfect the "PSP Go" indeed

# This is the UMD-less PSP? — NickyP 2009-05-30 07:19

Well.. wow. It looks um.. pretty interesting lol

I have a question though. If this is the UMD-less PSP, what will happen to people who trade in their PSP for this and still wanna play their UMD games?

# ewww — deadlyangel91792 2009-05-30 07:20

that thing is *****ing ugly and werent there already some retarded pics like these already??? anyway i think its fake the real one better look well "better"

# well. — GLO13AL_T3RROR 2009-05-30 07:21

NO touch screen??:( too bad.

# cool — jrsmaster411 2009-05-30 07:21

All qore annual subscribers, check your download list. Even though the June episode of Qore says coming soon you can download it, I'm download it right now

# sigh — KylBlz 2009-05-30 07:22

why sony why!? you could have made it look like THIS: http://www.techdigest.tv/psp2-concept2.jpg

but no, you had to go make it look like THAT. i REALLY hope this is an early pic of it, they need to refine it way more, too mcuh of the console is a blank face, they need to manage space better and probably change the shape so it wont look so... bulky

# ... — Chronos15 2009-05-30 07:25

Look at the post above you. ". A co-worker said he read somewhere that stores may be Kiosks to "rip" our UMDs."

And this thing is very pretty and portable. If they added a touchscreen and an accelerometer, then they beat the Ipod Touch "AND" the DSi which was never good to begin with :P. I love the bluetooth support and now I really want to buy a bluetooth headset!! If there is a touchscreen, then you'd be able to controll it while it isn't open.

They made it prettier than all the fake pics that I've seen. My only wish is that the specs are even "better" than the psp 3000 so that they could make special games for only that console.

# ... — TheLastGuitarHero 2009-05-30 07:31

Yes that picture looks like the PSP is very well crafted. The one Sony is displaying kind of looks, just a tad bit cheap. Just make it glossy like the 2000/3000. The hands in the first picture of more shinier then the PSP.

# My opion about the new PSP — shadows_flames 2009-05-30 07:46

but come on, why does the world need a new PSP. The ones already out looks,plays,and feels great. In my opinion there wasting time and money. The idea to remove the UMD door is a odd attempt to either make you actually use the PSN or (lol) go out there and probably get a PSP 1001 or a 2001 and have a CFW (Like my self). Just imagine this. the side that scrolls out sorta gets caught on a old tiny fabric or a piece of cloth and the scroll out door pretty much gets jammed and when you pull it to hard it comes apart Then your ****ed in the rear. Personally and my honest option the PSP has a Excellent go right now. People are obsessive about the touch screens that's going on and are wanting it in Everything possible, such as a TV,PC,Video Games, hell maybe in virtual $&x . come on people touch screen is OK (the DS did it good though I have to admit) well get mad at this post if you will but my point stays.

+X+

# your... — shadows_flames 2009-05-30 07:48

right the thing is a disappointment

# Its not a new metal gear i think — Talha03 2009-05-30 07:53

IM THINKING ITS A DOWNLOADABLE MGS1 for thesp which would be great

# . — m3rox 2009-05-30 08:04

Let me guess Karl, your mother was too lazy to get an abortion?

Quit posting these fake pics!

# Exactly — eynstyne 2009-05-30 08:06

I agree with you 1001 *****ing %. There doesn't need to be a new psp. If my PSP ever got *****ed up I wouldn't buy a *****ty 3000 model or this new garbage. I would hunt down until I find an exact model and redo it all over. Call me old-school but yeah...

PSN store is stupid, UMDs should not be discontinued. Its kinda like having a record or CD collection. What've u got to show with a stupid *****ing download code? Nothing.

And another thing. ***** touchscreen. Sony would've designed it in the first place if they wanted it or thought it was a good idea.

If they keep producing ***** with EVERYTHING built into it, then there is no excitement with the PSP anymore, it has everything with no complaints no posts about the latest homebrew and how to pimp it out. Progress stops here...

You wanna know why the PSP scene is pretty slow now? Everyone's anticipating on the new devices and completely forgetting the old stuff.

Viva la PSP 1000-2000

# And... — Guest 2009-05-30 08:09

...the fake video too, I suppose?

# haha — JoseR 2009-05-30 08:26

you my friends are a failure

# Crap.... — zzk2001 2009-05-30 08:45

More Bull***** crap from sony =(

they should have just called it what it is (PSP Micro) it's just a small version of the PSP Slim with a Slide down.

Owell i am sure some rich kids or spoiled little brats will be getting this lol.

(Sony talking)

Woot i just had a Idea let's make Yet another remake of the Same thing......Genius!!!

# *****s — Asskickulater 2009-05-30 08:46

lol, do you guys know how entertaining it is to watch you guys get pissed at sony and not get what you want, then ***** at someone who had nothing to do with it XD you *****s are better then television!!

# m3rox — Xeinix 2009-05-30 08:49

You are a total a$$ hole. Get a life and stop insulting other people on the internet behind your fake name.

# nah im not buying this... — mikal_rokz 2009-05-30 09:20

im waiting for sony itslef to comment on the so called "PSP Go"

# dissiponting — speedierbug 2009-05-30 10:00

sony really needs to just make the 2nd psp already i dont see y they keep just making little upgrades to the old psp and with this i just see another psp not the psp every one was hoping for sorry but iam waiting to get a psp 2 my 2000 works just great

# umm... mix thoughts... — kyuubi82 2009-05-30 10:22

nice that's a new version is finally out.. but that thing is pretty fugly... wow... it's not even a bit attractive and we still have to wait for someone to hack it first too... haha...

but wait... did i hear gran turismo?

# ... — NarooN 2009-05-30 10:42

Sony didn't lie when they said they had a lot of ***** they would announce this year...and E3 didn't even hit yet.

# WHAT A F****** JOKE SONY — xxPI3TROxx 2009-05-30 10:46

Absolutely nothing new, what a waste of time and money. Who needs this?? My Original PSP does everything this does, and it can play UMD's.

Until they release a Portable Playstation for HARDCORE gamers, with TWO analogue sticks and four Triggers, Vibration, BIG HD Screen (like 5 inch or summin) i wont be buying.

# PSP 3000 or the PSP go — TLC_Nyk 2009-05-30 11:01

Very hard to decide... but wait

1. MS micro slot will a MS work?

2. No mention of a MIC

3. No mention of a camera

4. No mention of GPS

5. No touch...

mmm this is not the PSP I have been waiting for.

If anyone buys this ... I'm afraid you have been had.

I do not believe this is what consumers want.

This device is to test their digital download service/feature only. Like the DSi its not in my budget.

Empty calories.

# i like [warning big block of txt] — pspsampsp 2009-05-30 12:16

i haven't actually been able to watch that video i can watch other youtube videos so i think one of there servers must be down but i like the look of it and i'm guessing it would be smaller with that new screen so it will fit in my pocket and i will be able to carry it around easier plus i don't play most of my old umd games so i don't mind that i wont be able to use them with this psp as i just download new games from the PS store now anyway so i reckon this will be awesome. and if Sony did add a second analog stick they could have made it do the ^xo[] (like that dual analog mod) but i don't mind that they didn't as im fine without it anyway. I am not a serious gamer or anything though so my opinion is different than most peoples , i use my psp for about an hour tops a day and that includes listening to music for half of English period.

# maybe not so big — pspsampsp 2009-05-30 12:17

that wasn't as much text as i thought lol woops

# Why are you so supprised? — blabbermouth 2009-05-30 12:56

Nintendo hasnt even released a DS2 yet. The fact that Nintendo released the DS before the PSP, most likely will mean that Sony won't release a new gen PSP till the DS2 comes out.

# daaannggg... — AllyOmega 2009-05-30 13:05

how do you expect to carry that around in your pockets?

overall that would just be too big, and sony would lose alot of customers. hence, your dream machine will never come true. sorry.

# ahem... — skeez 2009-05-30 14:29

no UMD....

got it now?

# I agree... — Drunk Vegan 2009-05-30 15:41

About everything except for the fact that "this is not what consumers want."

Consumers are generally useless idiots. That's why they can get away with the bare minimum like this and still sell a *****ton of units.

# sorry... — ov3rkill 2009-05-30 16:34

but the design sucks. it totally failed me.

but hey, if it's cheaper and umd-less therefore less battery consumption plus it has all the function the psp has. then it's probably good news. i guess it's digital download ftw!... for now.

# Bull***** — bandahomie55 2009-05-30 16:50

This design sucks. They should of made it with better graphics or touch screen or something better than a piece of ***** sliding screen. I dont give a ***** if its UMD less or not cause i dont need UMDs

# should be like this — phongthan999 2009-05-30 17:04

This is a much better design.

http://www.techdigest.tv/assets_c/2009/02/psp2-concept2-80280.html

# from what i make of it... — trigger 2009-05-30 17:12

it's not a psp2 or a psp4000. it's a psp go!. different SKU.

naming conventions aside, this confirmation teaches me two things.

1) John Koller is nothing but a big fat liar for always always denying all those rumors in the past. "there is no new psp in the works" "we have no plans of..." "there will be no new hardware announcements..." etc etc etc. John Koller you suck. but we love you anyway.

and 2) all those people who slammed qj for posting rumors about a psp2 months ago, where are you now? huh huh huh? kinduv an i told you so moment huh? hahaha! what ungrateful little trolls.

# 16 gig ram — cadillac2929 2009-05-30 17:14

Don't forget that those 16 gigs of ram will only be usable for official playstation downloads. That is unless someone is able to hack it. Sony did not put in that kind of memory just so you can load it with iso/cso's .

# i like it! — Jusor 2009-05-30 17:40

love it, although screen is smaller than the previous ones.

# Uh huh. — NickyP 2009-05-30 17:58

". A co-worker said he read somewhere that stores may be Kiosks to "rip" our UMDs."?

Yeah, no. That's strictly hear-say there, Chronos15. That's like saying "my uncle's coworker's father-in-law works for Nintendo, and he says they're going to make a Wii 2".

They said it all right, but unless there's proof it doesn't mean anything. And thats what I don't see right now: proof.

# ... — TheLastGuitarHero 2009-05-30 22:05

Yes that is total bull*****. That is why I like the PSP, for the screen. PSP 1/2/3000 are 4.3 inches, and this one is 3.8. Get the ***** out of here, and it subtracts a lot of cool features, so again, get the ***** out of here. I'm not buying this.

# zzZZzZz... — GraySoul 2009-05-30 22:23

the screen is smaller than previous PSP. =(

I read from another site: 3.8" for this and 4.3' for the older ones. lol..

# Tahts awsoem1 — MagilsugaM 2009-05-30 23:45

I love it I want it now!!!!!!!!!!!! !

If we can use something like chickhen to run homebrew it will be awesome!

# well. — ElfyEikkal 2009-05-31 02:25

after looking at this. i can probably safely say. i still love my PSP-2000. =). sides. i don't really watch anything on the go. its either me playing my Fifa 2009 or DJMAX on the go. all the time.

# 16 gig ram?? — martin447 2009-05-31 02:31

if it had 16 Gigabyte of ram, the PSP would be the computer/console with the most ram on the market!!

it has 16GB memory on it's internal Flash drive (Hard disk drive)... it doesn't have 16GB ram... if it keeps the same amount of ram since the update of ram from PSP model 2000, it has 64 Megabyte ram...

# ehhmmm. — martin447 2009-05-31 02:33

the first time i saw that it was awesome, but it really is ugly as hell, i prefer Sonys' version.

also, if they made the PSP square, it would look old-ish and boring, whereas its current shape makes it look more futuristic...

# stop whining! — martin447 2009-05-31 02:39

if it had a second analog stick, it would become the PSP2, which means that the first few PSPs wouldn't be able to play the new games, since the support for the 2nd analog stick... they won't add a 2nd analog stick untill they reach the actual PSP2... when do people get this?

however, it could be doen like with the nintendo DSi, where it has a camera, and the previous version don't which means new games will support this, but it isn't a needed feature, thus they make it compatible with odler versions... but again, with the PSP, a 2nd analog stick would change they way of playing the games completely... it will have to be named "PSP2" before you get your god-forsaken second analog stick... i know i suck at explaining, but it's really quite logical... hope a few more people reads it this time, so we can get rid of that request!

... it's like asking sony to make the PSP just as good as the PS3... which would result in games, made for THAT, not compatible with the first version of the PSP... see it yet??

# again... — martin447 2009-05-31 02:41

stop whining!

they won't add a 2nd analog stick aslong as they are on the PSP1, they may do so when they get to PSP2, and that's just how it is... stop whining, shut up, go play some games!

# Everyone needs to stop *****ing — moondog8985 2009-05-31 03:38

i think the new psp looks good, i dont think it needs a second analog, its a new model of the psp, not a psp2

i swear, i bet if someone everyone on qj was mailed a 100 dollar bill, we would see tons of people posting comments about how theirs was wrinkled.

# LOL — pinoy_92 2009-05-31 03:55

16 GB OF RAM!!!

HAHAHAHA!

i would buy this if it were....

hahahahaha!

# RAM Overload — deiradinn 2009-05-31 05:33

*****, you'd have to dupe my PC 8 times to get that RAM, lawl!

The PSP Go is more for mobile phone users and attracts to people like that. The PSP Go and PSP 3000 will be sold with different aspects in mind, so keep that in mind.

# ... — TheLastGuitarHero 2009-05-31 06:39

Everyone needs to stop *****ing because you like it? The truth is that this model is a downgrade. I especially cant stand the smaller screen. Also send me a hundred dollars, I promise I won't complain.

# stupid whiners — lexbian 2009-05-31 14:15

ok for all you people crying "what do i do with all my old UMDs if this doesnt have UMD slot on it... HERES WHAT YOU DO... (if you have cfw that is)

1)take your old PSP with umd slot and insert UMD

2)in VSH menu set usb device to UMD drive, NOT memory stick

3)reboot PSP

4)attach psp to computer via USB cable

5) drag the ISO9660 image OFF of the "diskdrive" your PC reads the PSP as, and rename it.

now youve made an ISO of your legally owned UMD game and can copy it to your UMDless PPSgo. And, you did it without downloading any special software. just dont forget to open your vshmenu back up and set the usb device back to memory stick or you wont be able to play your games.

NOW QUIT WHINING ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR OLD UMDS!

# Trigger — Stealth! 2009-05-31 14:43

Sony lies. Period. The PS3 60GB price cut in July they said wasn't coming? Happened. Dualshock 3 being rumor and not coming? Happened.

I thought this was common knowledge, I just find the design to suck in all honesty. They should've just used the same look style as the current one.

# - — mr.x256 2009-06-01 02:20

Maybe its PSPGO-1000?

Either way, HOLY CRAP!!! GRAN TURISMO ON PSP!!!!!

# GRRRRRRRR! — mr.x256 2009-06-01 02:29

What the hell don't you douche bags understand? This is not the new generation of PSP, therefore Sony cannot give it a second analog stick or touch screen, a second analog stick would give PSPGo! users an unfair advantage playing online.

Two analog sticks would be likely in PSP2 not PSPGo!

If Sony decide that PSP2 will have backwards compatibility, it would most likely disable the use of the secondary stick for legacy games.

Use your brains morons! My apologies to those who actually understand, I know your also feed up with all those stupid comments.

# - — mr.x256 2009-06-01 02:34

I feel the appearance is not really a let down but the name "PSPGo!" Isn't that the sort of thing you yell when you load a game and its taking forever to start and your left looking at that PSP sceen ?

# - — mr.x256 2009-06-01 02:50

Oh God! Did you really bring up mods?

# Bluetooth — mr.x256 2009-06-01 02:57

Do we know if the Bluetooth is just for earphones or will it be able to transfer files?

# 16 GB of RAM? No. — Luigi Panache 2009-06-01 08:14

I think you misunderstood what they were saying. The PSP Go! comes with 16 GB of internal memory, like a hard drive. Not RAM, or else it would be really freaking expensive. It probably only has 64 MB of RAM.

# - — mr.x256 2009-06-01 20:25

Of course they can do it, but it would be stupid to do until PSP2. It would be a smart idea for PSP2 but not on the existing generation.

# psp go mod — mocherz 2009-06-01 22:16

I can see modders preparing to cram all this bullshiet into a psp phat.
