Connect the PS3 to Your Phone, Starting Next Year

Seems that Sony's not only trying to compete with Xbox Live and Nintendo's similar services, but also with Apple's iTunes. The news of the day is that the PS3 will be able to hook up to your cellphone and you surely know that this is just another reason for those PSP Phone rumors to resurface. The Remote Play functionality featured on the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3 will probably be expanded in order to allow the next-gen gaming device to connect to many other gadgets.

Linking a PS3 to a mobile phone means hardcore media streaming and maybe a chance to take screenshots and capture videos from the games you play, plus some neat content management of your saves and files. This new feature should be launched by April 2008, probably with the aid of a brand new firmware. It will be interesting to see if the connectivity option is only available for Sony's phones, or the ability to hook up iPhones to our beloved consoles.

Thats a real cool feature

PSP TV connectivity has increased PSP sales worldwide. I am waiting to see what it does to the PS3 with projections saying that PS3 would already do much better in 2008.

2007 is also a good year for PS3 with sales projected to reach 9m in terms of worldwide sales

>>>INNOVATION<< < where Sony will always be King.

InMyOpinion5972d ago

season0075972d ago

that's very cold
a joke or not, a mock or not, i can hardly find anyone appreciate...or being amused by it, unless a hardcore (+ dumbass) fanboy

predator5972d ago

i was trying to hook up my sony ericsson to the ps3 on the weekend, no wonder it didnt work although i would of thought it would

mighty_douche5972d ago

yeah, ive tried it with several phones, sony's, nokia, LG's etc all with no success.

thinking about it though, im sure that connecting over bluetooth isnt far away.

TANOD5972d ago

I have a SONY ERICSSON W series phone

i sold mu IPOD and got that one....why waste money on useless MP3 player when i can get an MP3 player+ a phone

nanometric5972d ago (Edited 5972d ago )

Good thing that I bought my Sony Ericsson K550i two days ago on saturday, all i need now is a PS3 :D

P.S. Damn and I already have felt in love with it, I guess thats what happens when your only mobile phone before for 3yrs has been a Siemens C65 :D

WilliamRLBaker5972d ago

Ps3=sonys attempt at taking on over 10 different entertainment sectors and losing at all of them.

MAke games...Thats fine...But video player, music service video service?

its been done before and better then you've done and are capable of, The Walkman anal Bead mp3 player is a failing product for a reason...

aiphanes5972d ago

Did you see the HOME video where they were running the xmb on a cell phone? They said it would work on any cell phone that was using java...which is most cell phones...the xmb that runs on the phone would allow you to remote to the PS3 and do what you can with a PSP to PS3 right now...but the music store inside of the PSN store will be up by then...if microsoft is going to do it with xbox live why can't Sony do it with the PSN? Sony has the music and videos...and they now have the games especially in 2008....what games does the xbox 360 have comming in 2008 that can go up against the PS3 lineup..except for Gears of War 2...which has not even started development yet...

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg8h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv728h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast10h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood9h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK7h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

gold_drake5h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.
