Ant-Shimmin Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Anyone seen this in action? I saw it at my friends and one has to say, I like the way this looks and the potential it has, rumours are going around it will be able to access the PS3 from anywhere around the world by connecting to an individual I.P...
Daroh Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Wouldn't that require the PS3 to be on all the time in order to connect to it? Resulting in an extremely hefty electricity bill. Same thing could be said about Wii-DS, except Nintendo are yet to get off their lazy asses and do something about it (Pokemon excluded). I've never seen PS3-PSP link in action but the whole "Download PS1 games to your PSP" thing just seems like a way to get people to fork out hundreds of pounds just so they can play PS1 games on their PSP when in reality it could easily be done on the PSP with no PS3 needed. In other words, care to tell me what was so special about it? *Edit* Also shouldn't this be in the "Other Consoles" Topic? Since in the topic description it says "Nintendo Handhelds"
That Guy Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 It's a really cool idea, accessing your PS3 wherever you are, but at the same time, PS3 would have to be left on all the time, which would be daft. If you could switch your PS3 on remotely and then access it, it would be a more practical idea.

That's not a rumour, that's true. Sync your psp to your ps3, and you can access it (as long as it is on) from a wifi hostpot and paly movies, music, etc.
Ant-Shimmin Posted April 15, 2007 Author Posted April 15, 2007 I do not realise that was true, I was under the impression that sony we're planning to bring out an update in the near future.
McPhee Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Nice idea but going to need better network speeds over here before it will work properly. I'd seriously consider getting a PS3 for this sort of thing if i wasnt limited to 256kb/s upstream
Darkspine S Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Until Sony can think of a better useage for in-game linkup than a wing mirror, the idea is 'meh'.
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Until Sony can think of a better useage for in-game linkup than a wing mirror, the idea is 'meh'. Buy four PSP's and play Ico: Four Swords? The GC/GBA link up was rubbish, and when it comes to playing games, this will be as well. I like the idea of synching it up with your PS3 though, not that I'd ever do that. Ever.
Saminthehat Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 You can access you're PC's media through the PS3 using Orb. No doubt you can use the PSP's browser as well.
mcj metroid Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 i think the problem with this a A) nobody has a psp and B) nobody has a ps3. I know i'm exaggerating. At least a lot of people owned a gba with nintendos shite connectivity. but this seems like a nice idea if the ps3 is sucessful
