From the Sony Press Conference at E3.

"The PSP will be a major bonus for PS3 owners. You can have remote access to your PS3 from your PSP, and you can even use a Wi-Fi connection within PS3 to use your PSP as a controller for a PS3 game."

Have you seen the pictures of the standard PS3 controller?

I'd much rather use a psp than a boomerang.

Yep the standart Controller is so ugly that I wait for the first Logitech Controller :D.
Till than I use my PSP.

EDIT: Uhmm at a closer look to the Controller it seems that the Analog Sticks are the same as the Analog Stick at the PSP. Ok its good for a Portable Playstation but PS3?
EDIT2: Is the Playstation3 Font the same as the Spiderman2 font?

hey just think how you can play Final Fantasy XIII (or any other "big" game for PS3) right from work/bus/school/shopping with wife... etc. via wifi on your PSP =)

shopping for dresses will never bi the same! ;)

As much as the remote screen idea is awesome, I'm disappointed that from what I've seen for the PS3 specs, it won't have a built-in UMD reader.

I'm not referring to games, mind you. But one thing I'll tell you is that I certainly won't pay full-price for a UMD movie that will work on the PSP only. I want the option to be able to watch it at home on the TV, or on the road. I have a feeling that one factor may determine just how profitable UMD movies will be for Sony in the long run.

If there's already plans in the works for this and I missed it when searching around, I'd like to know.

Dude, UMD resolution is still only 480x272, even if they made it available on PS3. I'm not going to buy that over a DVD, ever.

mrbrown · Joined: 17 Jan 2004 Posts: 1536

Not to mention with BluRay or whatever we will have even higher resolution movies on PS3.

According to the URL below, UMD movies are 720x480. Similar to DVD.

You should take your own advice.

Displayed at 480x272 from a source of 720x480 on the UMD.

*Note* Editing your own post was lame

displayed in 480x272 resolution on PSP, but apparently stored on UMD in 720x480 format.

hmm, too slow...
it wouldn't be lame if he edited his message before we got a chance to post our replies.

a PS3 controller has 4 shoulder buttons, a PSP has 'only' two. How do they want to deal with that? Cant be used as a game controller imo...

Maybe sony would release some add on that would connect via usb and add two more shoulder buttons, and maybe a better grip on it :)

but do you want to train for years to be able to use your psp as a controler?

I don't know about you, but I find most people can handle a unicycle in less than an hour.

Regardless, I was attempting to show that your analogy was flawed. Missing two shoulder buttons is a very small thing when compared to the boomerang disaster of a controller they're planning.
