Sorry if old.

This is pretty cool. You won't be able to play PSP with the 2nd analog but this might help bridge some PSN downloadable games to the PSP. Stuff like Super Stardust HD as an example.

This sounds pretty cool and since the Sixxaxis functions off its own battery, it doesn't need to worry about more power consumption.

Hmm, well at least it would fix the controls. Looks a bit odd though and you wouldn't be taking it in you pocket anywhere. Though I would suspect that more and more Sony is making the PSP a play-at-home handheld. What with the being able to plug the new one into a TV and all.

I expect that both Nintendo and Sony are going to be using thier handhelds to help push sales. Which is going to be able to bring in a number of game play options that M$ will not have. Unless you can use the Zoom for something.

Zune?

Actually, this might work for playing any game on the PS3 portably. Remote play allows you to wirelessly see anything on the PS3, might as well transfer control input from the Sixxaxis. It could well be your mini screen for portable play anywhere.

... No, you can remote in to a PS3 from anywhere that has WiFi... I have done it with my PSP so I KNOW it works.

I believe I recall another platform that had an alternate control system and a peripheral that you plugged in to play other games. Oh right, the Genesis. And we all know how that turned out: killing itself by trying to extend its very lifespan.

If you actually played like that, you would need QUITE the internet connection...

Honestly, try and realize the quantity of data streaming there would have to be...

Thats just the silliest thing I have read in a while. Maybe, maybe, but not likely, it could work for PS Network games. Definately for nothing else.
