I would love for the PSP to have a text RSS reader. I use the mobile version of google reader now. What I really want though is an RSS reader on the PS3 so I can download video podcast to it and then if they are in a format that the PSP can handle the PS3 re-encodes it so that I can have the video on the go.

Well on the PSP, I'm still disappointed that it doesn't have RSS video streaming.
For the PS3, that's just pathetic that it's not on their yet.
Gurbinder @ Oct 1st 2008 10:43PM
Wtf the ps3 has around 500mb ram and they dont have one? Sheesh i thought psp was pathetic. Oh well i shouldn't complain knowing that i bought my psp with the functions it came with, asking for more is too much.

MORBO IS QUITE IMPRESSED!
Morbo- (PSN: ummfada) @ Sep 30th 2008 8:55PM
too bad I bought an iPod touch 2g (32GB) which renders my PSP useless...
MuToiD_MaN @ Sep 30th 2008 11:16PM
LOL!! "RENDERS"
Hashbrown Hunter @ Oct 1st 2008 6:50AM
Yes, because the iPod Touch is:

"Screen Captures"
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (if the rumor is true)
Doug @ Sep 30th 2008 9:57PM
I agree fully. I would love to capture that really kick ass moment in my games.
rv @ Oct 1st 2008 11:57AM
Hey, guess what! You can already screencapture, today, if you download a plugin.
Gurbinder @ Oct 1st 2008 10:46PM
@ rv :Not everyone has cfw you know. Thats like discrimination.
Scizzryo @ Sep 30th 2008 9:02PM
Too bad my screen cracked..
Hashbrown Hunter @ Oct 1st 2008 6:51AM
You can get a refurbished one from Sony for $90. I did that after my PSPhat's screen broke and my refurbished one is almost like new (just a few scratches here and there)
&rew @ Sep 30th 2008 9:18PM
Does anyone know if there is any hacks compatable with the current firmware?
Ayrkain @ Oct 1st 2008 1:11AM
Firmware version is generally irrelevant at the moment. Go check out PSP Updates or Maxconsole if you want to know more.
duckhunt8 @ Sep 30th 2008 9:27PM
Sounds enticing. Glad I'm buying a PSP-3000 in the coming months :D
Phillip Black @ Sep 30th 2008 9:41PM
APP STORE!!!
Hashbrown Hunter @ Oct 1st 2008 11:11AM
WE WISH!!!
Chin-Poh @ Sep 30th 2008 10:06PM
I would love a lovechild between the IPhone/Ipod Touch and PSP or just an IPhone/Ipod Touch that can play PSp games. : )
Joe @ Sep 30th 2008 10:14PM
I hope this is true I really want to go on PSN with my PSP.
brian @ Sep 30th 2008 10:42PM
i only use my psp to watch porn now anyways.
DiRT @ Oct 1st 2008 11:39AM
Does the Loaded video podcast with Natali Del Conte count? It's a cute chick and sexy tech...
Clinton RRoD sept.3 @ Sep 30th 2008 10:46PM
u can already capture shots if u got custom firmware. nitepr?
ikiryou @ Oct 4th 2008 10:39AM
I'd like to be able to play any of my currently local-multiplayer-only PSP games w/o having to go through Xlink Kai. Guess I'll have to settle for the screen capture thingy [if that actually pans out].
Dan Davis @ Oct 1st 2008 1:43AM
How's about some SlingPlayer love for my PSP?
Hashbrown Hunter @ Oct 1st 2008 6:57AM
Nah Sony already has the LocationFree Player support.
John @ Oct 1st 2008 7:37AM
I wish I could get my PSP to work with the net features. I think having my PS3 behind 2 routers is killing me. I can't use remote play, which would be totally awesome if it worked. :(
pspdawg @ Oct 1st 2008 12:32PM
Wait does the PS3 have screen capture yet?
Gurbinder @ Oct 1st 2008 10:49PM
It should since it is way more powerful than the psp. CFW has screencapture i dont understand why ps3 does not. Probably does.
Brad @ Oct 1st 2008 1:14PM
Really? People still own these things?
