Seven years after Nintendo unveiled the GameCube to Game Boy Advance link cable, Sony today followed suit with PSP Plus, which connects select portable games to PlayStation 3, starting with Resistance: Retribution.
PS3 connect to PSP
The first game to benefit from PSP Plus is Resistance: Retribution, which launches in spring 2009. At release, owners of both Resistance: Retribution and Resistance 2 can connect their PSP to PS3 using a USB cable to unlock exclusive content and play modes.
In doing so, an alternate campaign mode is unlocked in Retribution, allowing players to use a wireless Dualshock 3 controller with rumble, and/or play the game on a nice big TV. The connectivity mode lasts until the PSP is turned off, says Sony.
The bonus feature arrives seven years after Nintendo announced GBA to GameCube connectivity in 2001, which while enjoyable for the limited number of games supporting it, failed to gain significant traction.

I think that is the most useless feature ever... WOW, I can play a portable game on my big TV... doesn't PSP allready have a video out? And it's BS if you can only unlock those extra features from the PS3. I don't understand the concept of console extras on a portable game. WTF?

The psp has great visuals that should look good on a tv set.
I don't know if you noticed the picture but the psp signal is not spread out across the tv screen. That might be a good thing so the signal doesn't look like crap. It might look good on a smaller screen, 32 or smaller as compared to the larger screens It looks like the kid is playing on a 20" hdtv.

I'm more excited about unlocking new content than actually playing the game on the tv.
