In the wee hours of the morning, Sony Computer Entertainment announced a program which could make several of its popular properties even more profitable: A "PSP Remaster (http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/110522_e.html)" series, which will port select PSP titles to Blu-ray on PS3. The first entry in the series, which has only been confirmed for the Japanese market, is Capcom's bone-collecting action-RPGMonster Hunter Portable 3rd (http://www.joystiq.com/game/monster-hunter-portable-3rd-hd), which will be infused with a booster shot of "more gorgeous and vibrant" visuals.
The series' press release (http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/110522_e.html) announcement says these PSP ports will be completely compatible with their portable counterparts, allowing players to transfer save data between the two versions, or play with nearby friends using ad-hoc mode on the PS3. The press release also mentions that some games might feature "new add-on content or stereoscopic 3D support" -- however, no other games or North American launch details have been announced. We've got our fingers crossed for some timely E3 elucidation (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/e3-2011).
