Phat compatible with Resistance: Retribution PSP Plus feature

There’s been some confusion over whether the PSP Phat will be able to utilize the PSP Plus in Resistance: Retribution, a feature that will allow the handheld to use the DualShock 3. Bringing light to the situation is Sony‘s Jeff Rubenstein, who confirmed that the Phat will support PSP Plus. Yay for people who chose to stick with the classic heavy.

The issue came up when the PS Blog posted the image above, which states that you can video out on the PSP Slim and 3000 while on PSP Plus mode, which led to concerns that the Phat won’t support PSP Plus. I’m not entirely sure how video out came to be associated with PSP Plus functionality since they’re two entirely different features, but it’s a valid concern whatever the case.

Bringing light to the situation is PlayStation Community Manager Jeff Rubenstein, who confirmed that the Phat will support PSP Plus for Resistance Retribution. Yay for people who chose to stick with the classic heavy.

• Sony: no plans yet for controlling PSP via DualShock 3 for future games
• Sony: Resistance: Retribution PSP-PS3 connectivity is an added feature, not a US$ 60 cheat code
