What? You don't have a PSP for real gaming?]]>Aug 17th 2010 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/
You're joking, right?!? I have an iP4 and no PSP (I don't really game) but that was hilarious!!!

$9.99 SUCKAAAAA!!!!]]>Aug 17th 2010 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/Aug 17th 2010 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/DanH fail.]]>Aug 17th 2010 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/I liked how the game is called" lame Castle" on the phone too]]>Aug 17th 2010 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/
Also, I think we should replace the term 'core games' with 'big boy games.']]>Aug 17th 2010 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/Aug 17th 2010 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/Aug 17th 2010 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/Aug 17th 2010 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/Aug 17th 2010 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/
NOW! That's not to say that the development for these phone games are simply casual. Why just the other day we saw that highly detailed 60 FPS game for the iPhone. It's saying that right now, a DS or a PSP still holds the mantle for handheld gaming.]]>Aug 17th 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/
It seemed like a no-can-lose situation, but those are some big drawbacks. I could imagine them doing Sony-Ericson phone with playstation branding, but it won't be a sequel to the PSP creating fragmentation. Well... it is definitely complicated quite a few things to consider.]]>Aug 17th 2010 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/
There is no comparison. It isn't just the iPhone either. Android, WP7, etc, etc will all fall significantly short of the PSP/DSi for the simple reason there aren't physical keys (at least that usable for gaming).

I'm thinking about the crappiest PSP game I own. It still trounces the best iPod Touch game I have. No comparison. Until add ons that provide for physical buttons are mass marketed, phone gaming will never be better than a simple time waster while waiting to get your hair cut.]]>Aug 17th 2010 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/Aug 17th 2010 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/

Tbh, the fact that they have to denigrate and misrepresent the iPhone like this shows that Sony (and likely Nintendo as well) are pooping their pants.]]>Aug 17th 2010 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/Aug 17th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/Then came Windows Phone 7 which has the best of both world.]]>Aug 17th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/Aug 17th 2010 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/
He's schooling the lame "hip" adult with the bike, manbag, layers or clothing thinking he's cool with his iPhone accessory. Now a kid is clowning him and now doesn't feel so hip with his simple gaming iphone.

I like it. ]]>Aug 17th 2010 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/sony-takes-aim-at-iphone-gaming-in-new-psp-ad/
Can someone please explain how a PSP with a much lower resolution display than the iPhone 4 (480 x 272 pixels vs. the iPhone 4's 960 x 640 pixels... less than 1/4 the resolution) and much slower CPU (333MHz vs. the iPhone 4's 1GHz CPU... only 1/3 the speed), makes the PSP a better gaming machine?

In addition, the PSP has a dimmer display, is less pocket-friendly, has no built-in storage, has a much lower battery life, and is basically just a game player and can't offer the many other functions of the iPhone 4.

Oh, and have you forgotten about the ability to do bluetooth gamepads? Right now the only thing holding back 'big boy games' is the missing hardware for heavy gaming. Should that creep into a smartphone, it's more than reasonable to think it would take off.

Things i would create for the phone to work with the PS3 are the following:

-Account management
-Bluetooth Remote
-Some PSP Games (once phone mature and have more processing power)
-Playstation store purchases such as movies, games, etc
