Its over. No PSPhone..

Thoughts? Opinions? Reasons you hate me for taking up all this space CPing info from the live coverage?

 

[Thoth]

So something else about the NGP: Any content you buy over the Playstation Store that you can play right now on your PSP, you will play on NGP. That includes PS One games, minis, PSN exclusives and Full PSP Games. This means! The NGP is 100% backwards compatible!!!! ...except with your physical UMD's.

[NoCalMike]

A handful of PSN games are 50% off right now. I picked up the new space invaders game for $5

 

[Sabre]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PlayStation Phone, PSP, etc.

Not for me unless its outstanding. I got suckered into getting the original PSP and now its not worth me trading it in due to the homebrew aspects.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PlayStation Phone, PSP, etc.

I feel like I'm asking a dumb question here, but does PS3 have an option to play PSP games? I just notice a lot of them in the PS Store.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PlayStation Phone, PSP, etc.

Not as far as I know. I'd love to play stuff like Crisis Core and Peace Walker, but I'm not up to buying a PSP just to do so.

 

[Sabre]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PlayStation Phone, PSP, etc.

From what i can tell, its download to ps3 then stream to psp via remote play.

Incorrect, the PSP games have to be copied to the PSP memory card.

 

[vivisectvi]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PlayStation Phone, PSP, etc.

I thought there was also an option to play your PSP games on your TV, through the PS3, but using the PSP as the controller? Not sure why anyone would want to do that, though, as the resolution must be horrible.

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PlayStation Phone, PSP, etc.

There's component cables to hook up a PSP to a TV. I don't know how that'd work real well, unless you've got a small TV, or the cables are 15 feet long.

Yeah, like he said, you hook the PSP directly to the TV.

 

[vivisectvi]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PlayStation Phone, PSP, etc.

I was thinking of Remote Play, I believe. I think I got it backwards though.

Unless you have the original model PSP's that don't have TV out like me.

So I've been having a decent time with my new PS3 and have realized that as much as its not a 360, there's still some quality games on there and PS+ is actually a pretty good deal since I've gotten some free content and demos out of it. With that said, I DLed the Killzone beta and have been playing that a little bit.

My question: Should I contact the Sony Rep thats on my friend's list and see if he can score me a copy of the CE edition for what it would cost him plus a little added cash? (The Helghast edition, retail is like 130 but for him he said its something like, 65...)

I know I'm the only one on the planet who doesn't like the Kevin Butler character, but this is pretty fucking retarded on his part:

Some defense lawyers are going to have fun with that one.

If you enter the key as a url it re-directs to Cyptography for Dummies at Amazon. Clever.

 

[AntiLeaf33]

So I had a look at the PSN store and saw that Resident Evil 2 was on sale for $2.99. I had a few dollars left in my wallet so I decided to pick it up. Dated graphics aside, I never played it and heard that it is one of the better Resident Evil games out there. So I watched the opening cinematic and was thrust into the gameplay. 20 seconds later I was dead because I could not seem to walk my character in the right direction. I tried it again and was killed after a minute. I then said fuck it and went back over to Red Dead for a while. I will probably give it another shot tonight, but damn, have gaming controls ever improved for the better over the years.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PlayStation Phone, PSP, etc.

Yea, you more or less control your character as if they were a tank. Left and Right to turn, Up to move forward in whatever direction your character is facing. I remember getting the hang of it quickly way back, but I can definitely understand where some would find it difficult.

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PlayStation Phone, PSP, etc.

I don't think the quick-180 (down & run) made it into the series until RE3, either.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PlayStation Phone, PSP, etc.

Exactly. That quick 180 is a real lifesaver. I don't remember if it made it into Code Veronica.
