It looks like Sony's newest Playstation family member, the PS3, has come to the aide of its siblings, the PSP and PS2. Sony has announced the PSP's sales jumped by almost 30 percent in North America last week, during the PS3's launch.
David Karraker, SCEA communications director, said the PS3 hype created "a halo effect on other Playstation products."
I've said before this holiday season is going to be huge for the PSP's future success. If Sony can keep bringing great franchises to the PSP, get the PS1 emulator mess fixed and launch the GPS and camera peripherals soon, I think they will put themselves in a good spot for the coming year.

It's only a legal problem if some one makes a big deal over nothing about it.
Yea... the photo is a stupid marketing hype.
But... I've got to say about the girl on the left... I will like her O buttons!
How come I don't see those options on under my camera symbol?

Ok forget the tits im gay anyway. But do you see what has happend with the ps3. It has not created a halo affect. Sony has turned the PSP into a ps3 accesory. It is part of there money making scheme. PSP owners will have to own a ps3 and ps3 owners will have to own a psp. The psp is saposed to be a platform of it's own, yes a PC is a nesecity if you own a psp but it does not cotribute to psp games. just music and vids. Now sony says you have to have a ps3 to play ps1 games. WTF sony?

"Now sony says you have to have a ps3 to play ps1 games. WTF sony?"
Very annoying.
This has been said several times already, but often convieniently silenced by those with an agenda: the current situation is temporary, Sony is working on a method of obtaining PS1 games for the PSP without a PS3. This system should be ready before Christmas.
Maybe I should repeat:
THE CURRENT SITUATION IS TEMPORARY, SONY IS WORKING ON A DISTRIBUTION METHOD OF PS1 GAMES FOR THE PSP WITHOUT A PS3. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE READY BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

Yes but the reason for making the "stuff up" with the ps1-psp-ps3 games was because they wanted people to think they had to have a ps3 to get the ps1 titles. Just to sell the ps3 off better. and it has unfortunatly happened. You Know that Gold digger song? That was made for sony.

The you dont have to own a PSP if you have a PS3!
You will be able to use your PS3 perfectly well without a PSP what are you on about.
What it does do (and have been mentioned since the PSP came out) is allow your PSP to have extra features.
