Rumour - PSP 3000 Might Feature DualShock 3 Support

Wasn't it already announced that the 3k would have full analog video support?

I dont believe, dualshock3 support? that's bluetooth connectivity, I consider this false

No bluetooth would be needed. Sony could just use the mini usb port that is on both the psp and the dualshock 3. The right software configuration and a connecting wire are all that would be necessary.

When I first read this quickly I thought it was something about the new PSP having vibration function. That would be cool but would take away from battery life and possibly cause UMD skipping.

But being able to connect a DUALSHOCK 3 to the PSP, even by a USB cable would be a decent feature. THe DualShock 3 controllers have great battery life and using that could save actual PSP battery life slightly.

I think part of the PSP's growth should be finding more and more ways to interact with the PS3.

if the 3000 manages to lock out homebrew for any significant length of time,
it'll need more than better outdoor playability (from the brite screen) and a mic in, to be a credible upgrade.

Perhaps Sony will roll out new features only after the security system is proved effective.
