E3 2009 A Higher-Resolution Shot Of The New PSP Go
It's been a long afternoon, feels like weeks since we broke the news of the new PSP design
But we've had confirmation and here it is in higher resolution. Honestly, we like the look of the top-half of the system, but hate the placement of the "Start" and "Select" buttons. The analogue stick's placement looks like it could make...

E3 2009 French Gaming Magazine Suggests Gran Turismo 5 Will Be At E3
A slightly dodgy translation from French Magazine PSM3 seems to hint at the possibility of a Gran Turismo 5 appearance at the show
