I know! They need to build the dual shock functionality into the firmware!

That's pretty cool.
I hope they find a way to plug in a dualshock using a mini-usb cable to the PSP directly at some point, for portability. It's nice to be able to do it at home but it defeats the purpose of the PSP.

Well Resistance will be the one that has to prove it can work, and considering that Sony Bend specifically designed the game to the PSP (with that awesome new lock-on/aim mechanic) I am a bit skeptical of PSP Plus.

When it says PSP Plus, does this mean that it's hardware, with the new PSP-3000 model? Or is this software and can be patched into current titles?

My suspicion is that this is software since so far this only works with Resistance Retribution.

Software for sure.

My guess is that a firmware update will allow the PSP to stream the game video to the PS3, which will upscale it for your TV. The PS3 controller data will also be streamed back to the PSP so you can control the game.
It's sort of like Remote Play in reverse.

Well, imagining how gaming would feel like when I need to hold the PSP AND the DualShock-controller feels very strange. Additionally, I don't have a PS3 and will never have one. Because of the same reason I haven't touched my PSP in quite some time: Lack of games. It looks like the far cheaper XBox 360 STILL has the same graphics (despite the PS3 utilizing far superior hardware) and like ten times more games. Plus, you can make backups of your original games.

Wait for another year or two and you'll see there's a shocking difference not in graphics (since the PS3 is not meant to be THAT much graphically powerful) but infinitely smarter A.I., processes, and more because of the Cell. Once devs utilize the best of the Cell, Sony's investment will have paid off.

Don't forget the newer PSPs have video-out. Mine doesn't :(

Remember that an XBox 360 is nearly as cheap as a PSP and has video-out, too ;-)

If you've already got the PS3, why aren't you playing Resistance on that instead of fiddling around with the PSP?

Because you playing RR not R2?

Finally, Sony admits that the psp needs a second analog nub. Hopefully this means that a second nub will be seen on the psp2.

I think that's a given.

Brilliant, Sony, marginalize gaming on the PSP even more by having people play games using the PS3.
Sony needs to push the PSP as a stand alone gaming device, not as an accessory to the PS3 or a generic mp3/video player.
And isn't this a moot point? I'm sure Resistance PSP will eventually be ported to the PS2, like Syphon Filter was...

I agree.
I also give you bonus points for using "moot" instead of "mute". Every bloody person seems to say "mute point", and oh God does that bug me.
