IGN have posted an article and a decent shot of the newly announced PSP Go, heres their take on the breaking story:

Sony's E3 press conference might still be days away, but it would appear one of the company's biggest cats is out of the bag -- the PSP Go is real.

Yes, for some reason the latest episode of Qore is live and features host Veronica Belmont speaking in the past tense about E3 and getting a private demo of the PSP Go from SCEA Director of Hardware John Koller. Want the deets? Well, imagine a smaller PSP-3000 where you slide the top portion up to reveal the D-Pad, Select button, Start button, and traditional face buttons. The screen is going to be 3.8 inches, the unit is 44 percent lighter than the PSP-3000, there's no UMD drive, there's a Memory Stick micro slot, it's Bluetooth compatible so that you can use a headset and link it to your cell phone, and the unit packs 16 gigabytes of flash memory.



As if that news wasn't huge enough, the episode of the show features our first look at LittleBigPlanet Portable in action (the screen is in tight on Sackboy and packing a lot of color) and Koller says that there is a new Metal Gear and Gran Turismo coming to the PSP.

In terms of the family tree, Koller said that the PSP Go is not replacing the PSP-3000 but that both units will live in harmony on retail shelves -- although he did say that Sony likes 10-year lifecycles so the PSP Go should have a bit longer life than the PSP-3000. Still, Koller said the company plans to continue to support both downloadable and retail-based games. Belmont asked if there would be different games for the Go versus the traditional PSP; Koller responded that the units will have a similar catalog to begin with, but with time, he expects there to be some differences -- like maybe developers making smaller games that are shorter experiences.

Want to get your hands on the PSP Go? Koller said that the unit is expected to ship this fall. ...

The Fusa team are back with a new release, heres the details from them:

So what does FuSa do?
- It allows you to play games on ANY TV over ANY cable.
( composite, component, svideo, d-terminal )
All kinds of cables are supported!
Besides that, it allows you to play on full screen area!

All right here we are. So this is release of new build number 50.
You probably already know that it's main feature is fullspeed gameplay with fullscreen image.
Well, I will not tell you how we've made that, because I already told about it in previous news entry.
Instead I'll tell you about all new features wich B50 provides to you.


New features

New SpeedboosteR
If you used previous version of FuSa plugin you must remember that there was a menu option for it - now it's turned on as you activate plugin (pretty obviously it was removed as menu option)
The beta tests show that it's very stable now and is compatible with all games (with right settings)
On-Fly FS switcher
Allows you to switch between different FS modes without entering the menu. Just press Vol down & Triangle
Plug'n'Go!
As the name says just plug-in an go! So if you insert cable into PSP plugin will automaticaly activated and if you remove the cable it will be disactivated. If you are launching game from XMB with inserted cable, plugin also will be automaticaly activated.
Other changes:

New rewritten engine
Now plugin uses "one-way-cache"
Added cpu/gpu clock switcher to menu
Added Vram hack
Compatible with any pops
...and a lot of other minor things

Variety is reporting that WB and Apple will collaborate to release a Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince iPhone application. WB is "positioning itself as a major distributor of applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch" with apps tied to Sherlock Homes and "Terminator Salvation" among others.

No official word on a release date for the Half-Blood Prince app yet, but we'll keep you updated!

"Up until now, the portable media player and its online iTunes Store equivalent, Zune Marketplace, have only been available in the US. From early Autumn, however, a revised service, Zune Video, will be available on Xbox Live in the US, UK, France, Italy, Germany, Ireland and Spain (with more countries coming aboard later). Xbox 360 owners in these territories will be able to go online and access video content and play it via their console. A variety of access options will be available, including instant streaming, download to rent and download to own. However, no Zune portable music players will be launched outside of the US - at least not yet. This is about the online service only."

It's still fairly difficult to determine what Microsoft's strategy around an international release will be. So far they've been tight-lipped about their specific plans with regards to launching the Zune services outside of North America or Western Europe, and even the Zune HD doesn't look like it'll make it outside of the US. This seems like a poor strategy, and one I really hope they fix before the HD launches in the fall.

"Having just played with a prototype for a few minutes, I'm really impressed with the Zune HD. I've got a video, too, showing off how well the animations work. The device is tighter and more physically beautiful than the iPod Touch and it's got a better UI, the main menu's scrolling so natural through the swipe gestures."

The boys at Gizmodo got a chance to check out the Zune HD in person, and managed to not only snap a bunch of geek-lust-incuding photos, they also managed to get it on video - and their camera person understood the whole "focus" thing a bit better.
