How does David Reeves propose to bring more original content to the PSP? In an interview with GI.biz, the SCEE chief admitted that the PSP had too many uninspired ports of PS2 games, something they're willing to address. The source of their future inspiration will come online: from the PlayStation Network. "Honestly, probably we should have had more original PSP games, and there were some PS2 ports of course, but what you're going to see now is - on PSN there are a lot of good, original games, so the situation you might be seeing in the future is some of those games coming onto PSP. They might be shorter, but they would be far more original."Games like Calling All Cars, which was recently revealed to be coming to PSP, make a perfect match for handheld gamers, and Reeves understands that. By looking at the response titles receive on the PSN, he's able to see what will work, and what won't work, on PSP. "On PSN you get an instant reaction - 'Calling All Cars, great game, okay, can I have it on PSP?' Okay, why not?"
Could that mean we'll see fan-favorite Super Rub-a-Dub on PSP in the future? One can ... only hope.

Ironic that he is saying that there are too many PSP ports but then he says to start porting stuff from the PS network, seems hypocritical.

I've said this before... The PSP is in a unique position to really capitalize on an XBLA-style experience for a handheld. The PSP should have game, demo and video downloads all from one central source JUST like the 360. In this sense, it could really gain a leg up over the DS and even the Wii and PS3, neither of which have as robust an online shopping/viewing/gaming system as Microsoft's XBOX Live.
Wouldn't it be awesome to be sitting in a coffee shop, fast food joint or airport and be able to download news, weather, TV shows, quick simple and addicting games, etc.?
SONY - YOU CAN DO THIS.

As a PSP fanatic, David Reeves sounds like an idiot.

I agree 100% with pixelator. However, this will ONLY work when Sony makes it available to the millions of PSP owners who do not have PS3s. This forced, unnecessary limitation will kill the Playstation Network before it is even born.
