Rumor: PSP Go, Metal Gear PSP revealed in June issue of Qore [Update]

Update: A video from the June issue of Qore is now available on YouTube (and after the jump). In the video, Qore host Veronica Belmont discusses the new PSP Go handheld with a Sony representative who mentions the handheld (which features 16BG of internal storage and bluetooth) will not replace the current PSP-3000 -- they will coexist.

According to the Sony rep, a slew of new game announcements are going to be made for the platform at E3, including: Metal Gear Solid and Jak & Daxter, as well as a re-reveal of Gran Turismo PSP. Get those bingo cards out, kids!

Original Article: According to images grabbed by the Gaming Console Network, PS3's virtual magazine (Qore) made its latest issue available early and revealed the (long-rumored) PSP revision. As rumors and mockups theorized, the PSP Go in the images features no UMD drive and a sliding screen. It also features a single (and poorly positioned) analog stick. Adding fuel to the fire, PlayStation LifeStyle has posted an image it states is of the actual retail packaging for the soon-to-be announced handheld iteration -- and both designs match.

As we have not been able to spot the images on Qore our self, we're calling this rumor. Only a few days until we find out if the madness is true.
