Daft Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 More people with Qore so lots of pics now. Seems like Sony's e3 surprises are done now lol. :p Qore has everything blown out. Was meant to be for next week end of e3. Sony have more coming.
Ashley Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Hmm fugly when open but quite nice when closed. Kinda Game Gearesque...
Diageo Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Dont like the look of it, open or closed, too round...
Daft Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 Holy shit that's slim. Yeah, I just noticed that too. That is impressive.
Ryan Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) Better get rid of my PSP-2000 as soon as I can before I get bugger all for it.. Anyone have any advice? Should I sell it on eBay or wait for the new PSP Go and trade it for credit in a shop? Edited May 30, 2009 by Ryan
Ryan Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Selling gets you more. Personally i am more excited for the games. I have a PSP 2000 too. But i know i will be buying alot of PSP games now. GT Mobile for starters. Judging by eBay, would get about £100. I threw my box out so I've bought an empty one from eBay to sell on with my PSP 2000.
Ryan Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 What I was thinking, if I remember I paid..£120 for mine. If Argos sell it I can get a discount, which would mean quite a good chunk of £20-£25 off.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 I think the new PSP looks great. Day one for me.
Daft Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 I really am loving how small it is. Do we definitely know it is not touch screen?
Dante Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 I really am loving how small it is. Do we definitely know it is not touch screen? The video preview didnt mention touch screen.
dwarf Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Yeah but what's the point in the slide function other than storage? Otherwise the 'Go' can't do anything when in it's normal position. I call touch screen.
Dante Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Sites have started to pick up this news. CNET - Although Sony's E3 press conference isn't until 11 a.m. Tuesday, one of its centerpieces appears to have been prematurely exposed. A YouTube video of what appears to be the next issue of the PlayStation-focused video magazine Qore has revealed that Sony will use its event to unveil a new PSP model, the PSP Go. Sony is expected to unveil the PSP Go at its press conference Tuesday at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. As had been widely rumored, the PSP Go will have a sliding form factor like the Mylo, Sony's ill-fated Internet communicator device. The new handheld--which does not sport a second thumbstick--is shown several times in the video, which features Qore host Veronica Belmont and John Koller, director of hardware marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment America. According to Koller, the main differences between the PSP Go and the PSP 3000 are "on-board memory, the flash memory, and 16 gigs of space. There's Bluetooth on board as well, so you can use a Bluetooth headset, and you can actually tether it to your cell phone as well. But ultimately, it's the portability. Since you can bring all that content with you in a smaller form factor, you've got the most immersive games to play, and now you've got a smaller unit to do it with." Though he does not say that the device will not have a UMD drive--as is rumored--he did say that the emphasis will be on downloadable games. "Little Big Planet, Jak & Daxter, Metal Gear Solid--all those will be available. So will all the movies you can rent or buy on the PlayStation Network. So you can bring so much content over with you and fill up that 16 gig of flash memory." Koller also appears to reveal that the long-lost PSP Gran Turismo Mobile game--first shown off in 2004--will resurface at next week's expo. "There are games like Gran Turismo being announced at E3," said the executive. Host Belmont then asks, "So since it's called the PSP Go, I would image it will work with Remote Play as well." Koller responds with the following blanket statement: "Integration with the PS3 is very important, and it works just like the PSP 3000. A lot of people like to be able to take their PS3 content with them on the go." As for the PSP Go supplanting its predecessor, Koller said flatly: "It won't replace the PSP 3000. We're going to keep them both on the market." Koller did not mention a price, release date, or whether it would have a touch screen when closed. Sony Computer Entertainment America reps had not responded to requests for comment as of press time.
Daft Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 No touch screen. Its a redesign only. Next gen PSP isnt happening for a while i presume. Like dwarf said, the slide thing would just be for size and although that makes perfect sense, every time you want to change a music track or control a video on it you'd have to slide it open. I just think it'd be a bit silly. The video preview didnt mention touch screen. This is true. I really hope there is one. Not really for games, mainly for navigation and such.
m_fergy Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Like dwarf said, the slide thing would just be for size and although that makes perfect sense, every time you want to change a music track or control a video on it you'd have to slide it open. I just think it'd be a bit silly. Just use the L and R buttons on the top of the system to do that ?
Daft Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 Yeah, I know, but you know....touch screen! Basically everything has gone touch so it would just be a bit weird to me. I guess they want to keep the costs down.
Ike Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 If this is UMDless, are they making every PSP game available for download from day 1 (I assume you download them)?
m_fergy Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Yeah has to happen... Also I hope the UK get movies on the PSN
flameboy Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 If this is UMDless, are they making every PSP game available for download from day 1 (I assume you download them)? It is a big question...I have a ton of UMD's, don't want to have to keep two PSPs to play them all...although to be honest I'm not a stickler for upgrading on hardware iterations I still have my original DS and the DSi hasn't had enough for me to me to upgrade yet and doubt this really will...I can still use my normal PSP and an SD to get all the other stuff and bluetooth really isn't going to add that much is it now? What I hate is how the internet seems to be wrecking so many of E3's surprises...not known a year like this where so much has leaked.
Shino Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Like many said, closed looks nice but open looks really weird. And how do you reach that analogue?! It's basically a select button now.
dwarf Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 I thought that Shino but the whole thing is so small I don't think it's an issue.
Sheikah Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Looks fine. Its the same as the original minus buttons. Though i guess alot of people hate that. Face it, Sony boy...it's a damn turd!
Jamba Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Looks like it's gonna be painful to hold and weighted badly. I'll stick with my PSP 3k thanks.
