1Up & Kotaku Confirm Next PSP Story, 1 Week Later
Two Face!
Imitation is the sincerest form of frustration flattery. Kotaku and 1Up seemed to have recently received the memo we sent out last week about the next PSP, tentatively named “PSP Go”. The funny thing is, neither site bothered to cite sources for their information, though Kotaku claims they were tipped off by “PJ and Mr. Wednesday”. Evidently Professor Plum and Colonel Mustard had the day off.
Presenting the "Butterface" PSP Go.
While we here at PlayStation LifeStyle do not own the news, we cannot help but feel that some of this information has been inspired by us. Perhaps even via the conduit of the mysterious PJ and Mr. Wednesday. But at least Kotaku admitted to some assistance; 1UP’s article on the other hand seems to have materialized out of thin air. They even went as far as to provide a piss-poor rendition of our mockup.
This has Sex Appeal.
For an encore, it seems that N4G has a new policy of allowing week old news, so long as you have the Alexa balls to back it up. But at least you, the astute readers of the internet, know what’s going on. That’s what matters. Remember, when it comes to breaking PlayStation news, you can read it here today… or next week at 1Up and Kotaku.
See ya at E3 guys.

2 guys walking down the street pontificating about hearsay is different then a site getting actual info that they can’t report the source of. We confirmed many of the things they rumored.
Now it’s news because Kotaku and 1Up say so?

2 guys walking down the street in a YouTube video which is protected from google search terms is not the same thing as a site getting actual info and confirming the rumors they provided as hearsay.

Kotaku, 1up, and my personal favorite news- er, rumor mill N4G don’t actually report information, pretty much just there to give fat, lazy bloggers somewhere to put their fan fiction and pretend that they are a vital link to an industry that doesn’t care one way or the other about them.
Every now and then, there is a nugget of gold amongst the rocks, but if they published their sources with any integrity, we would all be going to those sites instead and the bloggers would have to take additional shifts at McDonalds to cover the rent now that their parents finally want them out of their basements.

I like you sparesoul! LOL

PSLS pwns Kotaku.
Destructiod destroys all.
04/29/2009 at 7:15 PM
I have no problem with Destructoid, they are a pretty cool bunch of guys.
April 29th, 2009 at 9:28 AM
i think this deserves a PSLS first time 2 slaps and an around the world twirl..
April 29th, 2009 at 9:52 AM
N4G anyone can submit to and is overrated for a new website.
04/29/2009 at 1:04 PM
it’s not a problem with the submissions – but the temperature formula and the general n4g audience. they deny some good stories and approve some of the worst (HHG)

April 29th, 2009 at 9:56 AM
I can’t freaking spell Destructoid. lol
April 29th, 2009 at 10:49 AM
Didn’t you guys even emphasise ‘GO’ in the E3 post a little while back?
Cheeky buggers.
04/29/2009 at 7:17 PM
Yep.
April 29th, 2009 at 10:52 AM
“Didn’t you guys even emphasise ‘GO’ in the E3 post a little while back?”
Indeed we did. We knew the name of the new unit, but couldn’t say it. So we hinted.
April 29th, 2009 at 11:09 AM
I lol’d.
April 29th, 2009 at 11:33 AM
Wow! PSLS pimp slapped the other guys and sent them into the kitchen to make us all sandwiches! Great article, Richard Allen. The regulars around here already know where the hottest information is… RIGHT HERE @PSLS!
04/29/2009 at 7:18 PM
YAY!
I have fans.
April 29th, 2009 at 12:26 PM
zing!
you just made my day…my day wasn’t very eventful, but you were the highlight
04/29/2009 at 7:18 PM
BAHAHAHAHAHA! I like to know we can reach out and touch someone!
April 29th, 2009 at 12:56 PM
Good thing I was banned on NeoGAF for posting this.
Also, Rich you may want to link to the original story. Does anyone else remember when Anthony hinted with the word “GO” at the bottom that people thought meant Grandia Online? Hm… I do.

kotaku is garbage..
they just bash everything PS3 related, i come here and various other online sites for news and everyone has something positive to say about the PS3.. YET SHITAKU always has negative comments on there story from titles, remarks and nonstop anti PS3 write ups..
April 29th, 2009 at 3:18 PM
You can’t really trust those losers like you can PSLS.
April 29th, 2009 at 3:28 PM
PSLS is great!
April 29th, 2009 at 4:58 PM
People still read Kotakrap? I thought it was a censored blog that only allows their viewpoint and no others. People in the past have tried to point things out on their website (credit and mis-information) only to find themselves banned with no reason. And 1up? no thanks.
04/29/2009 at 7:20 PM
I have not been banned from 1up. Surprisingly. LOL I posted our pic of our PSP Mock 2 times with a link to our story.
April 29th, 2009 at 8:21 PM
the only reason people go to Kotaku is because they have nonstop random news on everything.. i kinda wish here was the same. i find myself hitting your site alot but the news is slow..
April 29th, 2009 at 8:25 PM
@StalkingSilence
you need more articles! i enjoy reading your to!
by the way Richard Good Story. i wonder why they wont credit you guys?
04/30/2009 at 1:35 PM
Thanks shadowjin! I’ll try to get back on the breaking news train here. You can poke around in my recent comments to find things that are story-worthy. I’m dropping hints like Hansel & Gretel dropped crumbs.
April 29th, 2009 at 8:30 PM
@Shadowjin.
It’s hard to tell, since multiple people at 1UP could’ve been involved. Whoever saw our article though probably didn’t take us seriously, and just figured they could get away with it.
April 30th, 2009 at 1:36 PM
Cinemablend Games did a good piece – http://cinemablend.com/games/1Up-And-Kotaku-Plagiarize-News-For-PSP-Go-17187.html

Nice article, Rich.
And thanks for the link, SS.
April 30th, 2009 at 3:47 PM
Can it please have bluetooth capability!!!!!! i am so sick of the psp headset wires tangling on everything when im using skype especially when battery is charging…the ps3 is why not the psp? i thought it was when i got my tooth’ but later found it wasnt…dissapointment…
it would deffintly be a plus if it was….plus it would be alot more sexier than a wired set….which sucks btw…also a icon mover option like on the ps3, i like to be organized instead of searching for saved content. Also is there a slot for removable memory stick aswell as the flash built in? 16gb isnt much when throwing you dvds/music library on it
maybe louder speakers…half the time im asking myself to rig my old speaker phones speakers inside it haha
other than that it looks and sounds sick
MY 2 cents-
