'PSP minis' Playable on PlayStation 3 Soon

Would there be any disadvantage to making all PSP games playable on PS3? I'll go one further and say that I'd much rather play all handheld games on a bigger screen, whether that involves connecting the handheld device to a console, or purchasing new games (and more importantly, being able to reacquire ones I already own at no additional cost) through a digital store.

When I was a kid, handheld games were perfect because I didn't have to deal with activities such as driving, work, and college. Ever since I hit driving age, my handheld playing time has dramatically decreased because I have to drive everywhere, and because I have things to do at the destination that prevent me from playing. When I get back home, I want to game on a bigger screen, so I usually opt to play a PC or console game because I don't have to crane my neck to stare at a handheld screen.

This doesn't prevent me from enjoying handhelds. I still have a DS Lite that gets plenty of use when a desired game is made available. But for the most part, it sits by the wayside while I game on my consoles and gaming PC. I traded in my PSP two years ago because there weren't any games available. However, I'd certainly like to experience more of its library -- just not, you know, on an actual PSP. That's how I played most of my Game Boy Advance games -- I used the Game Boy Player hardware that attached to the bottom of the Gamecube: attach the device, pop in a cartridge, and use your 'cube controller to play. It was wonderful.

Now in the case of the PSP and PS3, I see no reason why all PSP games shouldn't be fully playable on the PS3. As for the DS, the Touch Screen is an integral part of the hardware, but even that is semi-easily fixed: require the DS be connected to the Wii via a controller port or some other connector. The developer could then either split the TV screen's output into top and bottom screens with the user using the Touch Screen for its required input but looking at the TV instead of the DS, or allow the user to choose to view the Touch Screen's data on the Touch Screen. That'd require them to look back and forth between the TV and the DS, but that should be their choice, not the developer's (I personally would opt to split the TV screen between the handheld's two screens).

They need to get mgs peace walker playable on ps3.

i wish i could play psp games on my ps3. the psp has some pretty great games but i don't want to sit for hours with a portable in my hand when i'm home with my big tv sitting there unused (plus your hand cramps after using portables for awhile!)
