I second that. What's with the 'chrome' edges and it looks like it's made of cheap plastic. Hopefully this is NOT the real deal.

Oh man, it's just ugly ... why why why ... sony could have done a better job ... i know!

Well, at least apple will be happy about that ... (i don't like the iphone, but i'd prefer to buy one instead of that ugly psp go ...)

Hold on, why is this called the PSP Go? The portable go?

What does that make the non Go PSP? Sony's latest hook on a portable console is a new version that's uh, more portabler?

I was hoping for a slick new PSP with better linking to my PS3, but this is just epic fail...

Not like its the sexiest gadget ever, but how is it ugly?? Its just a big screen with 4 holes on either side. I dont see how this is so ugly. The design looks like it will be more comfortable to hold and play for longer periods of time. I like all the new features too. Hopefully you can still do video output to an HDTV and with bluetooth you can connect a DS3 and play game with a regular controller if you want.

Actually guys, I'd say that it was definitely inspired by the design of the Sony Mylo, which I thought we heard a rumor about before. Check it out, they're both incredibly similar.

I can't believe that they went with the slider approach, and somehow still managed to make it look hideous. Remember that mock up with the clean lines, and the almost apple-esque design? It's almost as if they copied that, rounded the edges, and made it look like an awful knock off of some greater product.

Good on them for ditching UMD, but also ditching regular memory stick (he said memory stick micro, correct?) seems like a dick move when the entire PSP fanbase has regular memory sticks already. Also, how would I get the games I already own over to the new model PSP, if it doesn't have a UMD slot? Am I supposed to buy an entire new library of games to play on the thing? I won't, so that begs the question of "who is this for?" with the answer seemingly being someone that has never owned a PSP before, but that really wants one. Hopefully for Sony, that market actually exists.

why doesn't the first post on this subject not mention the lack of a second analog stick? who gives a shit about how ugly it is... just because something is pretty, shiny and black, you must buy it? fuck that... function over fashion is the way to go. if this is the real psp go, i'm never going to by another sony product. they really have a hard time listening to the customer. how hard is it to slap another analog stick on there? really sony? suck it.

Yea I'd much rather have the better looking current PSP that is now on sale at most places for $120 than this dumb thing. 16GB of flash memory does sound nice but the screen is even smaller.

I said this over there but this is either the most elaborate fake ever concocted or Sony has lost their touch. How can they go from the dead sexy PSP and PS3 to this dog turd?

What do you mean rumour. I've downloaded the June Quore episode and watched the whole PSP Go video two times already.

Everything was revealed:

43% lighter than previous versions
3.8" screen
Bluetooth
No UMD
You can download games and movies from the PSN

New games:
LittleBigPlanet
Metal Gear Solid
Gran Turismo
(Plus possibly Warhawk and Jak & Daxter)

I just don't get how they go from the relatively sexy-looking current PSP to this... It looks like the only thing they improved upon was the lack of UMD.

How is lack of UMD an improvement? The thing is ugly as fuck and the fact I can't play my current games means myself and majority of the earth's population won't buy it. I love the PSP but this is just ass-backwards and a disappointment, but only time will tell if this really is a good product or not.

I know, and I was excited about a new PSP model and then this came. It's might be alright is I can mod it, but without homebrew, I won't be buying a new PSP to give up all my UMDs.

I have a pretty big stack of UMD games and a broken PSP...does that mean I'm shit out of luck if I want to "upgrade" to the PSP Go?

I guess my only choice is to purchase a PSP-3000.

although actually I just realized that is a link to a PSP 2000. Although it does mean you can homebrew on it, which the 3000 can't.

Haha, I could buy a PSP for less than a DSi... kind of sad. But I'm going to have to buy a DSi anyway since my DS is almost literally falling apart, and I do have my library of DS games, whereas with the PSP I don't have any games stored up so there's no real reason for me to get it. It still is tempting at that price, but I think I'll pass.

@Mars: PSP 3k has homebrew, just no isos/cso support as of now. People are working on it tho.

And @Naeeem: Make sure that's the older model of the PSP 2k. The newer ones are just like the PSP 3k, so they have no isos/cso support either.

If I had the $120 and I knew of a game I'd for sure like on the PSP, I'd totally go after that. Seems like a steal, though it doesn't have any games.

Also, without a PS3, it's just a very nice piece of hardware that didn't live up to its potential. :(

Well yeah it is ugly, but on the plus side it seems to be smaller and more compact than the current psp, and maybe they'll improve the looks until release.
