Sony’s survey reveals future PS3-PSP connectivity plans

Over at online forums site PS3Forums, user sqrtlsqd7 claims that a recent PlayStation Underground survey is hinting at a possible new connectivity between Sony‘s PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. Among the many questions found on the said survey, the following are the most interesting ones:

• Use the device to complete side missions for console games (unlockables, etc.)
• Transfer media (music/pictures/videos) wirelessly from the console to the device (broadcast television, new levels for games)
• Use the device while playing the console game as an additional weapon/utility to help the gameplay (2nd player option, radar for incoming enemies, etc.)
• Record gameplay console video

Those old enough to remember know that a similar move was done by Nintendo with the GameCube (GC) and GameBoy Advance (GBA) consoles – especially with the Fire Emblem franchise – so these things are really possible.

It should also be remembered that a member of the homebrew community recently unearthed a hidden code in FW 3.50 referring to a video and audio output functionality to the PSP. Until such time that Sony gives an official statement, we’re taking this one with a grain of salt.
