I was just thinking the same thing myself. There's obviously a demand for this. I have no interest in bending over a tiny hand-held screen to play video games hoping my batteries hold out, and there are a lot (and I mean a LOT) of games I would buy if they worked on the PS3. The list keeps getting longer too.
I read an article about how someone wrote a hack that removed the PSP restriction from the PS3, thus allowing one to play PSP games on a HomeBrew PS3. Well, if any random schmuck can do it, why can't Sony do it for those of us who don't want to put our PS3's in a state that makes them unconnectable to the internet? What purpose does locking PSP games out serve? Actually, there are a lot of "features" the PS3 offers that seem to serve no purpose other than restriction on our own equipment. Let's take a look at a few:
- No PSP games.
- 512 song limit in music playlists.
- Limit to the amount of people allowed in a friend list (not sure exactly how many).
- You can only download a game you purchased five times (meaning you have to keep it on your hard drive whether you play it often or not).
- The Netflix icon is permanent, whether or not you have or even want Netflix installed. Completely undeletable.
- You can only put your PSN account on five machines unless you physically deactivate it on one or more existing ones
- You can't change your region (even if you changed it in real life).
And those are just a few of the restrictions that they went out of their way to add to the code for no apparent reason, and have ignored the thousands of requests over the last few years to remove. It's too hard to remove them, they say. Well, apparently it wasn't too hard to put them there in the first place, which required considerably more work.
Wow. I should have shut up a while ago. Hacking my PS3 is starting to sound like a **bleep** good idea now...
EDIT: So, I can't say word that is homophonic to a water blocking device and synonymous with darn without being bleeped? What the hell is that about?
EDIT AGAIN: So, I can say hell but I can't say **bleep**? That's interesting. That's the problem with profanity clauses. They don't tell you the church from which they're getting their list of profane words and phrases, so you can't look it up yourself. You just have to be surprised. However, I'm unaware of any religion which doesn't think using the name of hell in vain is offensive but does think using a word that originally meant to send someone there is. But, that's the crazy thing about putting ambiguous religious concepts like profanity in documents which are supposed to be clear and concise like contracts.
