What games on the PSP do you think needs touch screen controls? Seriously. People act like touch screen is the most badass awesome input device! Touch input is super overrated. It's nice to have, my cellphone has it, but damn I would never put down a device because it didn't have it. It's nowhere near a necessity.

Same, one analog on the current PSP is uncomfortable enough. Two, and on that design, would just be too cramped.

Personally it looks very bad aesthetically, I was expecting more from Sony design-wise. Maybe some hands-on during E3 may change my mind.
Love all the leaks, no mention of touch-screen?

Pretty sure that's Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier.Shig said:
OK, checking the gallery now..the shots in the OP and off-screen shots aren't very flattering at all by comparison. They wash out the colour and finish pretty badly. The back of it looks grey-ish on those shots, whereas in the actual ones they're a proper black.
So I wouldn't judge it at all by those. Seeing it 'properly', and particularly in the segment where they were talking about it, it looks way way better.

That's... an unfortunate design.

Yup, it's touchscreen - they're just not mentioning it anywhere because they want to surprise everyone at E3 when someone play with a demo unit for the first time.

For media playback. it would be handy to navigate the XMB without having to slide open the device and use the buttons.
right now, the device is nonusable in closed mode. it's a missed opportunity considering this smaller redesign is aimed at new devices like the Zune HD and ipod touch.

yeah, wtf? I can download the episode of Qore right now.
I would buy a PSP-3000 if they did that. Truth talk. I already have a 1000 and 2000 too.

Looks awful. Not a big fan of the PS3slim either. Glad I won't have to spend any money on these this year.

He said that when talking about all the DLC stuff in comparison to the UMD's, which gave me the impression that he just meant premium in the sense of being ready to download lots of stuff right away. He even said that there will be some games only available through download.

Well, the Mylo was a bomb too. And this seems similar with less features but PSP game functionality.

Good point, good point. I overlooked that. I was looking at it from the gaming perspective, since I rarely use my PSP for anything non-gaming related (music, video, photos).
However, I still say that is not a make or break thing that goes into someone purchasing the device. Not buying a PSP because of no touchscreen is like saying I'm not buying a Nintendo DS because it doesn't have an analog stick or more buttons.

listen to the mad man
Putting up an official sony-produced video on an official sony-sanctioned store for play on an official sony-designed device is not a leak. It might have been accidentally released early, but it's not a leak. It might be botched PR, but it's not a leak.
In another thread, I heard someone claiming that an actual company-issued E3 press release was a "leak". Use your brain cells, people.
WKC footage is not a leak. Heavy Rain footage is not a leak. The Trico footage may have been a leak or it may have been an intentional release. This is not a leak--it may have been released early by accident, but it is not a leak.
Also, for reference, when you read some article on a blog where some no one says what he thinks, it's not a rumour. It's speculation. A rumour is when someone claims to be saying something that is factually true, but you can't verify what they're saying or vouch for their credibility. If I say "I think MS will launch a new console this year", that's speculation. If I say "Internal sources tell me that MS will launch a new console this year", that's a rumour.
It's pitiful that supposedly literate, English-speaking adults have a difficult time figuring this stuff out.

While I don't think the Lite or DSi fall into ugly territory, the DS Phat really, really did.
It also did something vitally important in that it provided a built-in way to protect the screens whenever the device was not in use. The DS family protects itself.
The PSP Go protects the controls and leaves the giant screen exposed; this is not a kid-friendly proposition unless the screen is virtually scratchproof.

I love the design, but I have small hands. Its too bad that they made the screen smaller, though :/
Adam Prime said:
I think we need to see how Sony markets it. if they push it as just a smaller PSP (as shown on that Qore video) with core games then you're right. the touchscreen stuff doesn't matter.
but... if they start to talk up all the media playback (as they did when first showing the PSP) then people will start to put two and two together and realize that it will be more cumbersome to use this than the MS and Apple offerings.

That's what I'm thinking. This is based off the new PS3 Slim logo too. Looks not nearly as sleek as before.
