If you walk into the bathroom, turn your faucet on, and leave, your faucet is not leaky. It was turned on. A leaky faucet is one that, despite you turning the knob off, despite you getting a drip cloth, the water still comes out.
1. Leak: Guy from Sony takes footage, steals it, releases it.
2. Accidental early release: Sony films footage with intent to release it, messes up by flagging it incorrectly on a server.
3. Intentional early release: Sony releases the footage before E3, intentionally.
This is either the second case or the third case. Given that the video refers to E3 in the future tense (announcements will be made at e3) and given that it hasn't been pulled, I'd lean towards the third, but even if you assume this is "OMG SUM1 GONA BE FIRED WHAT DUMIZ *SHAKES HED* SONY!!!!!", it's still not a leak.
GAF has been persistently fucking this up over the last week, and it's just truly pathetic.
Looking more closely at the detailed close up pic, the analog stick doesn't look that bad really.
You have to take into account how reduced in width the PSP Go is and how differently you will hold it.
Everyones complaints and ranting so far is based on as if the analog stick would be on the PSP 1000/3000 model.

So basically this is the PSP version of the DSi in terms of an upgrade from the original. Things are heating up folks!

I agree, if you've played with the crappy Mylo (which I keep damning it for being an obvious iteration of) you can see this is where that idea went, and that was the same sort of unit, it's not that expensive feeling in your hand and probably will go for around the same price.
I don't really get Sony's hardware thinking this time around, besides the launch bumps their going to get the stuff seems very uninspiring so far. I guess it's all to get to DD so they can soak profit from the 2nd hand and rental markets.

Looks weird. It's not all curved, and it's not square like DS.

+ Couldn't agree more. Sony let the cat out of the bag, IT wasn't leaked. Again, I will argue that there will be a ton of announcements and they wanted to get this one done before hand. Remember, many analysts have said that you cannot announce multiple huge announcements at one conference. You have to pick and choose. Well, this allows Sony to still have a HUGE announcement without the PSPgo being an after thought. Will there be another huge announcement? Who knows. At least now there can be.
The button placement looks horrendous... Quick someone phoshop the hand over the nub.
I just think the slide-screen is so useless. The screen is still exposed and the machine is as big as opened DS, just without the touchscreen. Why not a clamp model??
I didn't like DSi at all, but this looks way worse.

It looks much more comfortable than the current placement of the PSP's analog nub.
What I am wondering in this moment is; why even have a slide-out screen?
I mean, you can't control the XMB without the buttons, and don't tell me they chose a slide-out screen just to protect the buttons. . Of course you can move right and left with the shoulder buttons but that isn't enough.
EDIT: Wait, maybe just to make it smaller. But to me, it would make more sense if the screen had been touch, so you could control the XMB / Media without even sliding out the screen.

I don't get why they would make the whole PSP Go! thing without a touchscreen, it totally limits what kind of app can be used decently on it.

I wonder if they expect a broad market penetration of this specific PSP. The features they'd tout seem very tailoring to hardcore consumer. People here saying that parents would get kids this model, really? Digital-distribution only delivery and internal storage in the 16GB range doesn't sound kid-friendly to me.

Poor Sony with its leaks.
Thing looks like ass no matter how the thing is pictured.

It all depends on how far the thumb can reach so you don't have to shift the entire hand/whether or not you can comfortably keep the thumb directly over it.
It would have to be seen played live.

It is but one thing I actually liked was the heaviness of it. Maybe I am alone but if something is too light its easier to construe it as feeling cheaply made.

Nice that hype christmas came early, but my fingers cramped up just looking at that thing. PSP was already a fair bit less comfortable to use than the DSi IMO so exacerbating it is not a good thing.
If this was intended to be leaked, then why did Quore say coming soon and not "released"?
Also, it would have been announced on the ticker as soon as you boot up PS3, and on the PSN store home page. Sooooo... seems like a mistake to me :lol
EDIT: By the way, does the PS Blogs say anything about this "not leak"?

As a gaming machine that's one thing, but if they want to tap into the strengths of the machine as a media player, movie player... where people can download/rent movies/music off PSN using their PSP GO, then for every single time they want to access their media they'll need to slide it open. Every pause, fast forward will need a slide-open.
That sucks.
