Could 'beats.' change the way you play PSP?


The ESRB has created a listing for a Sony Computer Entertainment Europe product called beats. for the PSP that, if one unconfirmed report holds true, could mean a quantum leap forward for the device's feature set.

Though the ratings board doesn't offer info other that the "E" rating of beats. one NeoGAF poster claimed over a month ago that he gathered details about the title with a little trademark investigation (the source of which is not revealed in the post). The feature set he turned up seems to be almost unfathomably ambitious, including "providing access to gaming, digital music and/or video web sites; providing wireless transmission of music, video and games, via the Internet and via communications networks; uploading and downloading of music, video and games, via the Internet."

It's difficult to cut through the jargon, but this sounds like it could be an extension of Game 3.0 to the PSP platform, allowing users to share different media or even games through the handheld. It could also be one of the company's efforts to help bring in the teen market. But with such a maddeningly vague description (and even less helpful title) this seems like more of a cause for speculation than celebration.
