3.0 manual online; confirms PS3 necessary for downloadable games!

It'd better be a messup, this will blow for the 98 percent of the PSP owner population who don't have a PS3.

Man this sucks... Not that I was gonna upgrade anyway, but how could Sony make a PS1 emu for PSP and expect us to use the PS3 to get them?

Then again, its probably all for security reasons, once on the PS3 it can be locked down and encrypted, only allowing its transference to the PSP and nothing else...

[Veskgar]

WOW! SO not only do you need to buy downloadable PS1 games again albeit cheap, you need to shell out $600.00 bucks for a PS3?

I'll wait patiently with my 1.50 PSP for a homebrew PS1 EMU solution.

I will be getting a PS3 but I will NOT be upgrading my PSP 3.00 so either way a homebrew alternative is more attractive.

Oh... Was gonna buy a PS3 anyway... :thumbup:
However this sucks for people who don't want it.
Sony should change that.

Oh cmon... This "security method" is as strong as DVD region protection. Don't they have better things to do? Everything will be cracked and deciphered anyway.

I guess, Sony themselves loves homebrew's users - they do the market anyway. Some of us have more than one PSP on hands. They just "have to" do something about it

really doesnt matter to me, i'll be getting a ps3 anyways, and if sony wants ps3 to be the only way to put psx games, fine lol

the reason why sony wants it is because of both ways, ps3 owners who do not have a psp will get one maybe, same vice versa

[Ihavenolife]

I think all of sony's bad decisions are helping noobs by forcing them to not upgrade. If this is true then they're also basically supporting homebrew emulation

[wolfpack]

im gonna buy a ps3 anyways, not because of the firmwire screwaround, i just want the new next gen games and i have my 1 psp dedicated to homebrew so im not going to worry about upgrading, and as for the ps1 games to the psp thru the ps3, ill just copy the games onto my compy afterwards that way i dont lose em. im ready to take on whatever sony has to throw at me :P

[DCergo]

I thought this was already established, PS3 initially. and direct to PSP later. I'm certain I read someone or some site discussing this.

this doesnt bother me at all you guys just arent hardcore enough to keep up with them. Why arent you guys planning on getting ps3's anyway? Are you serious? dont even begin to say the Wii is going to be better/is because it isnt. the wii has horrible online play, cant play movies or photos, videos, connect to the psp, have a wireless controller, isnt as hackable, cant install linux, windows, itunes, etc. Old school games you say? Well the ps3 will allow us to play nes, snes, sega, n64, ps1, and ps2, What does the wii offer? Nothing the ps3 doesnt and your interactive controller? ps3 has it too not as good but why do you even want that anyway? Hit the gym if you want to interact with things or get a gf and price? If you cant afford it well then i feel bad for you but dont complain about it and settle save up!
