Sony just announced the PSP Go at E3 yesterday.
The new PSP will be a handheld slider, with a 3.8in screen, 16GB of internal memory and a whole lot smaller and lighter that the original. The catch no more UMD drive. That’s right, the Go doesn’t have a UMD drive — games will instead load in through the Memory Stick Micro slot or over PlayStation Network. Sony’s beefing up the desktop client and renaming it Media Go for easier access and syncing with Playstation Network media, but you’ll be able to get PSN content directly from the Go as well. The PSP’s music features have also been beefed up with a new auto-playlist feature called Sense Me, which sounds a lot like Pandora or iTunes Genius playlists, and there’s a new video delivery service being rolled out.

Tony Hawk’s new game “Ride” will come with a skateboard peripheral so you can do all kinds of amazing tricks. The motion controls are pretty detailed and feature an advanced mode that will allow for in-place 180s, but it doesn’t look like you’ll be lifting the board off the ground.
Grabs are performed by actually grabbing the board as it senses your hand position, and pushing is performed by running your foot along the side of the board. Obviously, ollies and flip tricks are going to be different than the real thing.
Sounds like Tony Hawk sees the controller as a “standard,” which could work with snowboarding games, surfing games, exercise games and other stuff
