made at the exact same time so its for a mod to decide what to do.

 

[AAK]

Currently 3 AM in Japan

Sony Headquarters are going to wake up anytime now and see this nightmare leak again!

A lot of people are going to get fired :lol

 

[Vinci]

Is there a rule that leaked photos have to be blurry and shitty?

Geez, give the poor Chinese laborer a break. He's risking his ass giving us this much.

 

[TheRagnCajun]

Dual Analogue!
Which has traded places with the buttons and d-pad compared to every other PS controller!
For no apparent reason!

 

[ShinNL]

I wish they didn't go with a rounded sides' slide design. It looks okay when closed but I don't like the butt shapes on the side when opened. I know it probably feels more ergonomic, but still...

Also: PSP looks sexier. It was one of the things that really made you go: wow, Nintendo DS looks like a toy in comparison. This design looks a lot less flashy.

Hopefully the end-product does look better.

PS. Yes I care about the games, but design is also important. No reason not wanting to have both, right?

Twice the ram of 360? Jesus.

With that in mind, the processor and graphics card will be almost or beyond the 360 specs I am guessing.

We are looking at a $299-$399 launch.

 

[ultron87]

Dual thumbsticks = win.

So at this point we really just need Gizmodo to pick one up that was 'left in a bar' and the PSP2 will hit the entire "Worst kept technology secret ever" cycle.

 

[Strike]

Hmmm. Not so sure about the ergonomic design. It's a good start though.

 

[Lard]

I don't care how it looks - if it's download only, I ain't buying it.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

IT"S SASQUATCH , CATCH IT, HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRY

Messin' with Sasquatch are we...

 

[Tailzo]

PSP2 certainly has a lot of rumours attached to it. I keep seeing new psp2 threads all the time.

 

[Spiegel]

Devkit?

This is the devkit of the original psp (on the right).

It looks nothing like the real handheld

 

[Erebus]

Looks like a PSP-3000/PSP Go hybrid.

 

[wolfmat]

What's the point of a rear trackpad?

Penis control.

what about battery life?

 

[gofreak]

Anyone wanna try and work out screensize, based on the buttons or something? Assuming they're the same size as current PSP buttons...

 

[Skilletor]

Ahaha. The Go influence is pretty noticeable. Suck it, haters!

I don't think the complaints surrounding the Go had anything to do with its look.

 

[Vinci]

what about battery life?

Pfft.

 

[Backfoggen]

The machine is rumoured to be extremely powerful, with approximately twice as much RAM as a 360.

More RAM makes it go faster, yo.

 

[Byakuya769]

Hmm, could the back touch screen be a way of having some touch functionality while in a "core-gaming" mode? And the screen is touch when the controls aren't slid out?

 

[Shadow780]

Why are every single leakage photos look shitty and grainy.

Don't go there! That's the conclusion Kotaku came to and left GAF shouting at each other for weeks on end about. There is no necessary correlation between RAM and cpu/gpu power.

This could have been pulled right from 2004 :lol

No touch screen or 3D. I was half expecting Sony to go with that to directly compete with the 3DS's main focus points.

 

[gofreak]

Shoulder buttons look like they have more travel.

 

[jiggles]

Hmm, could the back touch screen be a way of having some touch functionality while in a "core-gaming" mode?

It'll probably just be the L2/R2 buttons when used in those situations.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Are you the real Alvin Greene? If so, can I get an autographed headshot?

 

[Graphics Horse]

Shoulder buttons look like they have more travel.

Do you see two sets or is it just me? Two rectangles nearer the centre of the back.

Edit: nevermind I AM looking at the edge of the 4 in the watermark. :lol

 

[Fantastical]

The indention around the buttons,d-pad, and sticks look like something out of the late 90's / early 2000's to me. I'm a little skeptical.

 

[Mr_Brit]

No R2 and L2 make PS2 emulation unlikely.

 

[Rollo Lawson]

the analog nub placement doesnt look comfortable. other than that ill reserve judgment for now

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I was under the impression that it would be single stick + rear touch pad. Twin sticks is an odd but welcome surprise...though I wonder why they wouldn't go with a touch screen. 3D isn't completely out of the question, I suppose.

 

[deleted]

I have no idea how I should hold that thing without getting cramps constantly. The sticks and stuff looks way to much on the edge of the thing.

The back-trackpad however I can dig. Sound like a good idea to use a touchscreen like thing where you don't have to block the screen with your hand.

 

[Mr_Brit]

Guys they've switched to Xbox style concave analog sticks!

Great news that they've included two analog sticks and made them concave as it should make them infinitely easier to grip compared to the original.

 

[gofreak]

It'll probably just be the L2/R2 buttons when used in those situations.

The touchpad would be for both scenarios. But in closed configuration it would obviously be a little more 'positionally 1:1' with the screen, a little less abstract.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Hmm, could the back touch screen be a way of having some touch functionality while in a "core-gaming" mode? And the screen is touch when the controls aren't slid out?

Of course. And when you're in touch screen only mode, your hands will still be resting on the back. So they can use the touch pad for some defacto buttons. Seems like a very versatile design.

 

[RedNumberFive]

What's the point of a rear trackpad?

I'd like to know this as well. I just don't get it.

 

[Wazzim]

Will buy.

 

[B.K.]

That didn't stop PS1 emulation on the PSP.

 

[WickedLaharl]

i could possibly be convinced that this is a mockup but not a devkit.

 

[rezuth]

1GB of RAM? I highly doubt it, I'm setting the limit at 256MB right now.

 

[Oozinator]

What's the point of a rear trackpad?

For erect-penis touch gameplay

 

[Byakuya769]

You don't think the screen itself will be touch, then? That's a valid assumption, but I hope that it isn't true; it just seems very backwards.

Of course. And when you're in touch screen only mode, your hands will still be resting on the back. So they can use the touch pad for some defacto buttons. Seems like a very versatile design.

I like that.

 

[yencid]

I'd like to know this as well. I just don't get it.

Navigation for when its not slid open?

 

[depward]

There. Those who are up in arms about how the PSP needs two sticks can now finally rejoice. I don't see a need for it but whatevs.

 

[Mr_Brit]

That didn't stop PS1 emulation on the PSP.

A lot more PS2 games use L2 and R2 than PS1 games where only a few games used them and only for a few actions thoughout the game.

its great you've arrived at this conclusion with hardly any information.

 

[dragonflys545]

Wooo 2 sticks!

 

[Sealda]

two thumb sticks! 3D games here i come!

 

[offshore]

vg247 just updated the story saying this model is old and Sony switched to a non sliding unit.

We’ve been told by a source that these images are from the last kit. There’s a newer one, which is a single, non-sliding block. Remember those last Kotaku rumours of the unit over heating? Sony switched back to the current PSP form in order to cool it down.

 

[slaughterking]

It looks like the first pic was taken with a flash. Why would it have such a terrible picture quality?
