It has been confirmed in San Diego that the Sony PSP will be capable of working as a remote for the Sony Playstation 3 which is due out later this hear. It has been a rumour for a number of months but is now official.

The next version of firmware for the PSP is version 2.8 which will include support for RSS video feeds and will also include a demo of World Tour Soccer 2.

It’s good news that the PSP is still getting the needed support from Sony with the launch of the new Sony PS3.

Other news for the PSP is that it will feature a better keyboard soon as this is one of the downsides of using the device for anything else but games.

Hello All… we decided to make the PSPGameSpot.com site use the wordpress interface as the content we were adding before was more geared to news rather then a forum approach. We will bring back the forum soon for those who want to continue talking there. For now, you can read about the latest titles, hardware, homebrew etc… for the Sony PSP.

Sony Ericsson have decided it’s time to target the female marked with the HBH-PV700 bluetooth headset. The PV700 is coloured differently then your average bloetooth headset. It isnt metalic looking which someone out of a scifi movie would be wearing. It’s Apple Green and has a green LED to le you know the status of the device as well as battery level etc…

Imagine driving towards some traffic lights and you can have a count down telling you how long before the light changes Green. Or if an ambulance is on it’s way and you need to move. This might happen with this new idea from Sony. It’s basically a system currently which is designed to pass messages from car to car through an LED which appears to be switched on all the time but is inface flashing very quickly. I personally have no idea what a car to car communication could be needed for, bearing in mind the you would have to type out a message etc… and surely it’s quicker to call someone. Maybe something like a breaking system might be of benefit where it can warn the driver behind of sharp braking.

Grundig is a name I dont seem to remember since I was a child. However, it seems either I havent been in the same circles, or they took a long holiday. Either way, they have now released the FreeView recorder which looks promising. It works on the UK's freeview network which has 30 free digital channels as well as 20 radio stations and can record the TV (a bit like Sky+). It comes with a 160Gb drive and can record programs up to a week in advance. Engadget are speculating that the device might outprice Sony and Panasonic.

Rumours are circulating that the XBOX 360 will have a nice price drop this coming Christmas (niclely timed for the Sony PS3 release). The core package will be less then £200 (I assume that means £199.99) and the premium package will be around the £220 price mark. This is surely a kick in the teeth for Sony who may be selling the PS3 for more then £500+ quid. Play.com already are taking pre orders for the PS3 at £549.99 in the UK.

However the PS3 may still attact avid gamers as they will still love the PS3 console and quite possibly view the 360 as slightly older technology.

Sony are introducing a cool game when the PS3 launches later this year. The games makes use of a real deck of cards and a camera (Eye Cards). The game, named “The Eye of Judgement” makes the cards come to life as mythical characters on screen, thanks to the inbuilt camera on the PS3.

As seen above, the game makes use of the real deck of cards. I personally think this might be an excellent way forwards for some type of games although the same should be able to be acomplished on the PS2 and I wouldn’t mind seeing this game appear on there. The Eye Toy on the PS2 is such a classic device that it had to take off big style.

What used to be imagined in your mind is now displayed on the screen.

The way the ps3 card games works is by placing cards on to the 3 x 3 board in front of you. The camera reads a code from the back of the card which is then converted in to an onscreen character (see image above).

Even better news is that the game should be made in to an online game… although Sony are working on how to stop the opponent from cheating.
