Sony reveals some PSP news at Comic-Con


Well, looks like the PSP isn't dead after all. IGN attended Sony's PSP event at Comic-Con and came away with some interesting tid bits about what's coming up next for the sleek little handheld. One of the bigger pieces of information to slip out is the confirmation that the PSP will act as a remote for Sony's PlayStation 3. IGN says "it will have additional functionality and interactivity with Sony's next-gen PlayStation 3, but more details weren't revealed."

Other PSP propaganda included at the event:
  • Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror and Pursuit Force are "great games" and "great reasons to own a PSP."
  • Movie Trailers of movies coming to UMD format like Napoleon Dynamite and Office Space.
  • PSP's firmware update next Thursday will offer RSS Video feed support for its web browser.
  • Thursday's firmware update will also have a demo of World Tour Soccer 2.
  • There are no plans to improve text entry on the PSP and no plans for a first-party keyboard.
  • Sony Connect is working on a way to provide downloadable movies.
Well, we guess the remote thing is kinda cool and it's interesting to note that the UMD movie format is in fact not eating worms -- despite being pulled from various store shelves. So is the PSP actually getting better or just living in a state of mediocrity?
