Very cool but surely that can't be real. It would be nice but how can you control the PSP with a Dual Shock and why only composite output.

' hi yes i am a cheap skate - i bought the psp but i dont have a ps2 so using this i can imagine i have a ps2 at home'

OR

'look at that prick over there hes playing a psp with a ps2 control pad'

Except a PS2 costs about half as much as a PSP.

Silliness.

its midday and i have a hangover dont expect cleverness from me now or at all! just screams of making something for the hell of it really

[Sega Ages]

this is a cooler PSP gadget, imo

Solar Charger

lets you live in the mountains away from civilization and electricity, and still play your PSP

[errollw]

That TV thing looks right ugly. Would be terribly out of place on my beautiful white machine

The solar charger sounds funky though. Like what they did with the GBA SP design, there

[rubberducker]

who would want to play a psp on their TV? doesn't that defeat the whole point of having one? some people are a bit odd.

What is the whole point of having one?

[Fletch]

Same theory as the GBA player for the cube really, not a bad idea.

[Spunky Monkey]

PLAY ON YOUR TV!

of course if people want to get excited about attaching a huge ugly black thing to their consoles and play very lo-res graphics on their huge home tv's - more power to them.

technically yes, but you might as well just play your PS2 since the two are not that different. Cube and GBA Player - the games are not exactly cutting edge.

Id compare this with the GB Player for the SNES, which was pointless due to the games being quite simular on console and handheld.

So the whole point of them is to use them when you're on the move? Certainly not in your house.

Nah.

[JohnC]

There is absolutey no point to this. If there are mates around and we decide to have a session of Lumines which we can all watch, I'll just insert the UMD into the PS2. Oh, wait...I'll buy the PS2 version...no, still doesn't work.

Well, maybe this can have uses after all.

[BeeJay]

I think it's a good idea. No really I do.

Oh my God!1 It will suck all the energy out of the sun!

But the SNES was a far superior machine? The GB was only 8bit compared to the 16bit of the SNES. Yes there was many good games on the GB but none that could even touch Super Mario World.

[Tailfly]

I imagine this'll be good for hooking up to screen/video capture stuff, so it'll find a market with juorno's and speed runners. Can't imagine too many going for it though as installing it voids your warranty.

think your missing the point mate.

[MDY]

I doubt many people will be bothered anyway seeing as it involves replacing the front plate on your PSP - no matter how easy they reckon it is..

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Don't see the point really. Guess it's handy if you need to get good screenshots or something.

[Sng]

think your missing the point mate.

So people who play their PSP at home would be stupid to want to be able to play it on a bigger screen? Ah ok, I get it now.

[Pistol]

If installing it voids your warranty, it's teh rubbish.

I could see the point if it was a docking station type device. Now that would be cool; especially if you had a homebrew-capable PSP! Play games on the move, then when you get home just plonk it down for a quick recharge and some Metal Slug on your telly. Who needs a modded Xbox then? Imagine if peeps got it streaming video over its wireless too!

Hell, I'd probably even consider getting one.

Emulation.

So SONY ARE THE DOOMED.

Spot on there I think. It would ideally need RGB output too.

I like the idea of big screen Ridge Racer and Lumines, with their fantastic soundtracks pumped through my sub-woofer.

[Willei]

So does this mean we can play Vampire Chronicle/Guilty Gear XX/Street Fighter Zero 3 with a decent controller? Sign me up!

[therearerules]

For watching UMD movies of course.

Mmm, low resolution.

I really don't see the point in this gadget. Sony go to the trouble of creating a handheld and people end up playing it at home on a TV.

Mark my words, Ninty will do this with GBA2. It'll play GC games and will have a TV out and built in wireless reciever for wavebird/rev controllers. You'll be able to be playing wind resi 4 on the move, walk into the front room, plug the GBA2 into the TV, pick the wavebird off the top of the TV and carry on.

Combine that with the fact that Revs download service will extend to transfering titles to the GBA2 via wireless and you'll be doing the same with link to the past.
