Caught on video, Sony’s upcoming PSP Go is half the weight but twice as fun. The clip is from the June 2009 episode of Qore.
Yet to be officially announced by Sony, the PSP Go is smaller and lighter than previous iterations of the PlayStation Portable. Has 3.8″ display screen and 16GB of internal flash drive memory.

kailan po ito lalabas… sir yuga
Sony keeps on changing the hardware of their gaming consoles. From “original psp” to “slim and light” to “psp 3000″ and now this “psp go” and yet they are unsuccessful. Nintendo still dominates the portable console war with a huge huge chunk!! It is because the nintendo focuses on games rather than the hardware(although they have upgraded their DS consoles). Compare the games of PSP to DS. DS has multiple of titles to choose from erstwhile PSP has handful.what does this means? Consumers want more games!!!WAKE UP SONY before Nintendo eats up all your share….
gusto ko yn kylan kya yn ilalabas?…
psp’s getting more exciting from time to time
Its umd less =D
Still waiting for Sony to make PSP “touch” capable.
how i wish that Christmas is near…
i already added this on my Christmas gadget list
Its a slider, much like cellphones this one would probably have a shorter lifespan than any of its predecessors, IMHO it looks weird and cheap XD
1 drawback with the PSP Go would be the slider, which is pretty much prone to problems with the flex cable.
I’ve had both the 1000 and 2000 series, and I must say, the form factor of the PSP Go isn’t slick like the 1000-3000 series. Like most comments I’ve been reading in other blogs, it would have been better if they slapped on 2 analog sticks rather than 1.
One good thing though which was a good move for us portable-junkies is the removal of the UMD slot. Downloadable media is way better IMO.
In terms of games, I’m not pretty sure what’s so new about the PSP Go. I do hope there’s something considerably different for gamers to pick up the PSP Go. And I do hope game developers make more games for the PSP, as I sold off my PSP months ago after a pretty long dry spell of new games in the market.
Oh it’s a slider. This will certainly bring problems especially with the flexi cable involved
@jose
thats what i thought of too. it’s a bummer that its a slider.
i read that psp go is not going to replace the psp 3000 as sony sticks to the 10-year lifespan of its products. having 0-consumer demand is another thing though.
ciao!
@man
Developers were ignoring the PSP because of the poor sales of GAMES because of rampant piracy. The PSP 3000 helped rebuild Sony’s rep with the devs. Failure? Hardly. Look at the Apple app store and you’ll know why the PSP Go will be a hit.
@chiemartin
I’d love a 2nd analog nub too but it’s going to be useless with the current game library because they aren’t coded to support a 2nd nub.
Also, game devs are already back on the PSP train. Just take a look at the E3 line up
it’s ugly :-&
yeah.ugliest gadget ever.
piece of shitt! they keep on upgrading but the graphics still similar to PS2. and the games are very limited. i will just stick to my PS3 ish.
no thanx will just wait for psp2 when ever that will be built
Slider PSP?.. critical for kiddos.
how much does it cost?
wish sony would release more games than releasing “new” versions of PSP…
biggest mistake of sony is they are upgrading their PSP from time to time with only small improvements..
seriously, if Go is just lighter,3.8 has 16gb of internal memory with no usb port and IF there’s no graphics improvement, current psp owners wont buy it and they will fail again…
@babyface
no graphics improvement? lol. The smaller screen will be sharper than that of the brite. Also most, current PSP owners won’t even bother for the PSP Go if it’s not cfw-able, which you can bet isn’t.
It’s the same form factor as the Sony MyLO.
Problem with this form factor is the slide. Although the original PSP form has a movable UMD door but who uses UMDs now? hehehe
Nintendo DS are targeted for casual gamers and kids while PSP are more for the mature and hard core gamers that’s why there’s more NDS titles than PSP titles.
this is slick! cool! piracy is a problem and you cannot install custom firmware here…
*hoping* that maybe the leaked photos of the slider-type handheld are just to mislead competition hehe
I’m finding a problem on reaching the L1 and R1 buttons on top..with the slider on the way.
And no usb port? it could take a long time to install games with just the bluetooth.
geez!
don’t like it
don’t like it
if you would to go around to some stalls in the malls, marami kang makikita na mga generic na mp3,mp4 or digicam. may mga tatak na sony. yung slider design ng psp go eh parang yung mga generic gadgets na mabibili sa mga muslim…(no offense to our brothers)
PSP is getting better and better. This is nice!

I got my PSP Slim and Lite on releaseday and I’m so glad I got it, will never get a DS.
this would be the ugliest handheld by sony. I’m sticking to my slim and lite.
cool how much does it cost
i heard that psp go will cost 15k php…
hmm sounds good.. with 16gb memory + MS Micro.. wifi + bluetooth.. PS3 integration?
but the control design suck!!
but theres a bluetooth controller!
Cheers for the great info m8
Love this, great blog, thanks.
As far as I’ve heard (from IGN and Gamespy), they’re not really changing the processing unit of the PSP when PSPgo comes out. It’s like just having a facelift for good-old PSP 2000. I still own a PSP 1000 and it still kicks ass (well except for the downward drift of the analog stick probably from abuse.. ha!). Just a get a PSP 2000 or 3000, they’ll do fine.
Internal 16g mem? Anyone can get 16gig MS from Greenhills nowadays.
Slide-type? Marupok yan (it’ll easily break off).
