02:16 Playstation Portable soon to become Playstation Phone (0)

In a strange turn of events, well, an ambitious one at least, Sony and BT (British Communications) have just announced that the versatile little gaming-guidebook thing, the Playstation Portable, is turning into a phone.

Update

A recent news report made by BBC provides a few more details on the PSP phone project.

In the beginning the software will only allow communication between PSPs and some BT phones, however the capabilities will then be extended to PCs, fixed lines and mobiles. The service will also only be offered through a BT home internet connection or through a BT Openzone Wi-Fi hotspot.

End Update

Plans to add wireless broadband communications functions, including high quality handheld video calls, voice calls and messaging" to the Playstation Portable were announced yesterday by BT and Sony.


Review: extended battery for PlayStation Portable

In the video-game world, loyal consumers root for one company over another, as if they were sports teams instead of hardware manufacturers and software publishers.

It's currently in vogue, for instance, for Nintendo DS fans to ridicule any coverage of Sony's PlayStation Portable, on the grounds that DS sales dwarf those for the PSP. But I've spent part of this week testing a smart PSP accessory that I'd buy as a consumer, despite a relatively steep price of $100.

The item is a new extended battery for the PSP from Blue Raven Technology, promising 8 to 15 hours of extra power. The exact amount of time is influenced by what type of game is being played or what other kind of PSP functions are being used.

The selling point, however, is the design.


Difficulty: Easy Learning Curve: About a half hour

Ever since the 2004 release of Driver 3, the Driver series has made a habit of trying to mimic the unique success of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series, achieving marginal success. Last year's Driver: Parallel Lines wasn't terrible and was a big step up from the much-maligned 2004 release of Driver 3. However, it still failed to do anything as well as the series it was aping and came off as the also-ran that it was. Development duties have been passed off to Sumo Digital for Driver '76 on the PlayStation Portable, but once again the series comes up short.

Pros
Solid funk-heavy '70s soundtrackComic-inspired story sequences look good
Cons
Storyline is short, predictableLanguid police response takes the fun out of rampagesRandom load timesEmpty streetsNothing to do
