Well, we all know that PlayStation Qore Episode 13 was leaked prior to E3 revealing the PSP Go and many had downloaded the episode that Saturday morning including myself. So is Sony ready to re-release that Episode for all to see? Not quite. It appears that they will be revising the content of Qore to bring us “the most up-to-date information”. Seeing that the news wires are being put to use due to E3, I am curious how they can get us up-to-date with the info.

Qore Reveals PSP Go!, MGS, & GT

Who says Qore doesn’t have it’s benefits but being a leak before E3, I don’t think happened on accident. As a release engineer, I NEVER preloaded anything to production if it wasn’t ready to go. At most the content will be sitting in a pending status the night before or day of a prod release. So either this was intentional or someone really screwed up!
Specs
- 3.8″ screen (smaller than current models which are 4.3″)
- 43% lighter
- 16gb onboard flash
- micro memory stick expansion slot
- Bluetooth support
- no UMD drive
Games
- Gran Turismo (finally?)
- Jak and Daxter
- LBP
- Metal Gear Solid title
After watching the Qore episode, I do like it and the design is growing on me but my inital impressions is that this isn’t a true Sony product. Not the Sony I know. I love the standard memory and the expansion slot. In the episode Koller mentions that we want our media on the Go, hence the name. I have to ask, why limit the product to wifi? It would have been nice to know it uses or can use a cellular data connection so that you can really get your content on the go. I am rarely in a wifi accessible area and this would be more than welcome!
Having a smaller screen also bothers me. Maybe it is because they are trying to make this more user friendly meaning a sacrifice in size. This is telling by the amount of weight they are saving compared to the current models. I also cant help but want a touch screen. Not for gaming, but I would love to just keep it closed and navigate the XMB, PS Store, access the music controls, movie controls and everything else without having to open it. Maybe I should just wait until E3 to find out the details?
