PSP Go!
PS3 Slim
Gran Turismo
New Metal Gear Portable Ops (AKA the Kojima project)

All confirmed, right here.

Dear lord, this is the mother of all leaks. All we need now are the first screens of Starhawk and the first video of LBP PSP.

EDIT: Fuck, LBP PSP video in that Youtube vid. Dear lord.

btw, 2 more bits of info that I didn't see picked up:

-PSP Go is considered the "premium" product
-Releasing in Fall this year
-Push for smaller, download only games
-Gran Turismo PSP most likely launch title


the segment ends with saying they're about to play Gran Turismo against each other.

It's growing on me. Still don't like the start select placement/look. Looks awesome while closed, shame it wasn't touch screen.

Thank you Wollan for the pic:


Price determines my purchase, it looks hott.

plus, that analog nub is in the worst damn location

This is a PSP. They're not going to fuck over existing owners on controls. It's not like the controls can be sold seperately for cheap to let everyone upgrade (ala Dualshock), they're an integrated part of the product.

Those (chrome? white?) circles make it look like a $9 PC gamepad from the mid-90s. Or a shitty Korean SDcard-based handheld.

Looks horrendous, and having controls right at the bottom of the device means this would be horrid to use for more than 5 minutes.

front looks fake but the picture of the back very real.

Also, shows LBP..which is probably the likely game to be used to demo the unit. Not that it means it's REAL, but it's an observant touch if someone was faking this.

That better not be real.

While it 'looks' okay, the balance would be horrible. No way the analog is even usable.

MUCH better than the original PSP or any of the iterations since.
But the placement of the analog stick?! Why even bother putting it on there?
It gives me cramps just looking at it.
But if it's cheap and has some nice launch titles (the current PSP lib. does nothing for me, apart from Locoroco), then sure, I'll give it a GO.

I don't see that control placement being problematic. Your hand is gripping the top of the back half of the device, not the top of the screen-half (with the stretching of your thumbs that would be required in that scenario).

First impression - looks much uglier than the original PSP. Second impression - how on earth am I going to use that analog nub. Will it even be possible to hold the handheld firmly enough while having the thumb on the analog?

Other than that - if it has an OLED screen I'll buy it. Form factor is much better than the original PSP even though it's uglier.

*edit* Yeah, I guess Gofreak is right, your index fingers will be holding the top of the device anyways, so it maybe doesn't matter that analog is were it is.

Looks terrible, if real.

The outside ridges, the weird metal-finish bevels around the buttons, the screen bevel, the d-pad buttons, the analog placement.

Yikes.

I think if this was a real leak, there would be at least ONE image of someone using the unit with the touchscreen, right? Show it in use in "closed" mode

right now it's just shown as an uglier PSP with no new added functionality.

I actually don't think it looks bad. It'll probably be pretty successful.
