digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Sony_s_PSP_Go_leaks_out_before_E3_PICS'; Lookup there, folks. That's the future of Sony's hopes and dreams in thehandheld gaming sector. With just hours to go before the company'sofficial E3 2009 press event, it looks like the pieces are all coming together. First a UMD-less game release, then a highly credible molegiving the PSP Go a name, and now -- live action shots. The images herewere sourced from an obviously slipped June 2009 Qore video, and asidefrom giving us a look at the slider-based system (which, let's behonest, looks a ton like the questionably successful mylo),we're also told that it'll tout 16GB of internal memory, built-inBluetooth and an undisclosed memory slot. If all goes well, it'll shipthis Fall for a price to be determined, and it's actually not slated to replace the PSP-3000,as both of 'em will attempt to live on store shelves harmoniously... atleast for awhile. Oh, and don't worry -- we'll be on hand in LA tobring you all the impressions we can muster early next week.

Update 2: Official press shots have emerged. [Via Engadget Spanish]

Update 3: A few more official specifications are flowing from the full Qore video (pardon the sync issues). Here's the dirt:

• 3.8-inch display (resolution is undisclosed)
• 43 percent lighter than the PSP-3000
• 16GB of Flash storage
• Bluetooth built-in; supports handset tethering and BT headsets
• No UMD drive (this was expected... probably for integration with Playstation Store. I wonder if the PS3 will "hold all your games", eh? -Auri)
• Memory Stick Micro slot
• New Gran Turismo, Little Big Planet and new Metal Gear Solid (!) on the way
• Full PlayStation Network support (movie and TV rentals / purchases)
• Integration with PlayStation 3 (works the same as the PSP-3000 does)
• Sony views each of its products as "10-year lifecycle products," so the PSP "needs to live on."
