Well i hope so. If it was big it would have been in Qore. Heck it sounds like PS3 takes a back seat this e3.

 

I hope Gran Turismo 5 is at least shown somehow. :( At least GT Mobile will more than tide me over.

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?

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.

Yeah try that. No idea on cost of PSP Go but it should be around £200ish minimum. 16GB, bluetooth etc.

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.

No touch screen. Its a redesign only. Next gen PSP isnt happening for a while i presume.

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.

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.

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.

This is true. I really hope there is one. Not really for games, mainly for navigation and such.
