Guys keep in mind this design was probably trying to fight with the ZUNE and the IPOD.
Not the DS.
Throw in full PSN store integration for music, movies, games and you can see what they were attempting to do. Its pretty clear what they were shooting for if you stop a moment and look at the clues.

Sony: "NEW PSP WILL HAVE A SLIDING SCREEN!"
Everyone: "Yaaah hooray, yahoo!"
Sony: "THE BUTTONS WILL BE PLACED AT THE BOTTOM VERY CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER!"
Everyone "...."

Hey looks like the same shitty d-pad I've endured for like 4 years thats great
What I do like is the fact that it's not so damn big anymore. Putting the PSP in my pocket was never a good idea.
But I dunno, I need some hands on time to see how comfortable it is. The PSP-2000 always looked comfortable, but it really hurt my hands after an hour or so.

Have to agree that that thing is ugly as sin.
And there is no way to play monster hunter well with that dpad + analog layout.

looks horrible, like built for the cheapos. psp was good looking but after i saw iphone, that is slick and adult like, i wishing sony could come out with a better looking psp, not this ugly revision.
so does it have touchscreen, if not when you slide in the flap, how to control the system?

Looks like complete shit, but honestly I'll probably wind up buying one when Monster Hunter Portable 3 and Parasite Eve come out.

soo.... this is real, then?
shit. looks like I'm having crow for lunch
Man, I really thought this was a fake cuz it looked like such a step back in design.
.. I should've learned my lesson from when that 3rd gen "fat" ipod nano got leaked a couple years ago and people thought it was fake cuz it was kinda ugly.
oh well, let's hope that hands-on impressions at E3 prove that the analog nub placement is somehow not a disaster.

Someone post pics of the hand helds they think look so much better than this. I think this a the leaked Ps3slim images shows that sony is going in more a afford ability direction. I'm sure most of the complainers here owned a DSphat so i don't really get the hate. Seems forced.
Also cramped would be a GBAsp. When that came out i just had a back light installed into my og GBA.

I don't mind the sliding feature, that's cool. And closed, it looks pretty nifty, like some kind of iPod PSP. But when the screen is slid up, the figure-8-ish shape of the console looks a bit daft to me. It sort of reminds me of the original DS design where the top and bottom of the console didn't look right when it was closed, except it's the opposite with this.
Hmm... and no slot for UMDs? Sooo does this mean instead of waiting for the new PSP, I should just buy a 3000? (My PSP got stolen, but they left most of my games... was waiting for the next PSP iteration before getting back in...)

My biggest gripe would be using this to replace an iPod / walkman type of deal.
The software for the music player in the PSP is primitive to say the least.
It makes perfect sense as a portable movie device which can download movies on the go and stream stuff from a PS3. Even the Skype functionality would be nifty.
The fact that you can play some PSP games on a (horribly small) gaming setup is a good bonus.
They absolutely positively MUST improve the software for easier music playing.
They should go to the walkman division and have them write the music player software.

I guess what I don't get is--Who is this supposed to be for? If I have a PSP 2000 and a bunch of UMD games, why on earth would I buy this other thing that does roughly the same stuff, only less? They must be planning to keep selling the 3000 for a while, since we're still seeing stuff release on UMD.
DD stuff should all work on the existing PSPs, right? The Go more or less fails in increasing portability for me because it's still a huge exposed screen, which still means I need some kind of case if I'm throwing it in a bag or in a pocket with my keys. Sucks for Sony that they more or less could not go the clamshell route without catching hell for a DS-ripoff, but I have absolutely no idea who the Go is supposed to appeal to. People who don't already have a PSP? This design is not going to win over people who had been uninterested thusfar. I don't see why existing owners would want to render their UMD collections completely obsolete without some sort of benefit.
If it were to come in at, say, $100, I could see it doing reasonably well as a cheap portable alternative--undercutting the DS would be a huge step in Sony's favor--but much higher and the appeal is lost.
