PSP Plus awkwardly unites PSP, DualShock 3

With only one analog nub, the PSP can't seem to nail down a comfortable first or third-person shooter control scheme on its own, but a new tech called "PSP Plus" will allow users to pair the handheld with the PlayStation 3's more genre-capable SIXAXIS or DualShock 3 controllers. Sony announced PSP Plus at the Tokyo Game Show today but didn't provide much info about how it works, so we're not sure if it's the same technology that was patented last year. We do know there's a pretty outrageous catch: you'll need to connect your PSP to your PS3 to use the controller. With only one game supported (Resistance Retribution), we prefer just about any homemade hack to this solution, and if you're at home with your PS3, why not play Resistance 2 instead? It's what Kratos would do.

Somebody rolled out of bed and landed on their head... that is so retarded! If you have to connect it to your PS3 you may as well play a ps3 game...

i agree. the PSP is becoming more and more to be just a flashy accessory to have with a PS3. Which makes both even less appealing. and they way the PS3 is, it don't need that.

It would have been smarter to have the DualShock3 connect with the PSP though the usb slot.

This is absolutely pointless then.
It's not portable at all.

Sony running out of ideas?
