So does that mean you have to be close to the PS3 for it to work? Or are they talking about downloading it (via bluetooth or something) from the ps3 to psp?

ok let me explain this so its easier for you guys 2 understand. The ps3 can download psx games into it hdd or into the psp ms duo. with the new update you can play all the psx titles in your ps3 hdd anywhere with a wifi connection. the netwrk is free, the only thing you have to pay for is the games you download. Streaming the games via wifi is absolutely free.

if I remember well, a normal Memory Stick has a 15 Mbps data transfer rate... not far from the 11 Mbps PSP´s wi-fi...
other MS models have better rates...

Ya! I look forward to re-buying all those ps1 games again, just to play them on the PSP.
And they wonder why people are firmware modding their PSP's.
Just another way to scam the mindless.

So the PS3 finally has a purpose.. to play PSOne games using the PSP.
Sony will probably go back into making PSone games so they can sell more hardware ;)

only trouble is you can only play half of the PSone titles because the PSP has a badly designed control layout.

does this render firmware mods and pandora's battery, etc. useless? by that i mean, do you only need to download image files from discs on a computer to your psp if you dont have a ps3, or is this some remote play, b.s; useless for anyone w/o a ps3?
