You guys really need to learn how to market the PSP and PS3 connectivity. Honestly I have never seen any commercial showing the true capabilities of remote play. I think that would be a HUGE selling point for both systems. I have showed everything you can do with the PSP and PS3 to friends who have a PS3 and they went out and bought a PSP because they had no idea what both were capable of. I think the best thing you could do is bundle a PS3 and PSP together for the same price as a PS3 now. Instead of dropping the price of the PS3 just make it the ultimate gamers bundle with both systems. I honestly would buy it, even though I have a PS3 and PSP 2001, and give it to my girlfriend. Another thing, why haven't you put SKYPE on the PS3? Do you know how sweet it would be to call my PS3 from work on my PSP and talk to my girlfriend and son. Do video chats from the toilet at work! Come on this should have been implemented as soon as the PSP had SKYPE. Does anyone else agree or does it sound like a dumb idea.

I agree with everything you said. Remote Play is an awesome feature yet I never hear anyone talk about it. Sony should really do a PS3 + PSP bundle, maybe they will at E3.

maybe they should hire me for their marketing. haha. honestly i sell everyone on the PS3 and PSP. all you have to do is show people 100% of what they are both capable of and they sell themselves. Sony needs better advertising!! Thats the bottom line!

^That's very true, Sony's advertising this gen has been depressingly weak :( They've done ads for the PS3 and ads for the PSP but I don't think they have ever actually advertised both machines together. I can't imagine why.

I dont care if I get anything for it, but I would love to work for Sony, I just want them to think about it. It would help them out in the sales dept. The Skype idea would really help me out because I dont have a cell phone, and dont plan on getting one, so all I would have to do is go to a WiFi hotspot and call my PS3. Think about it............. AWESOME idea!!!!!!!!

i think they trust too much in the fan base of previews systems, look at what the sensei kutaragi said, if he really said that :?

but thats no problem with me, im enjoying a lot and dont care about system wars and selling stuff cos I DONT HAVE ACTION SHARES of any company involved.-

Im not for console wars but I think the PS3 could be doing ALOT better if Sony had better marketing. Im fully content in my console, but if they have the rights to use Skype why wouldnt they put it on the PS3 but on the PSP? Am I missing some legal BS or is Sony just not thinking with their whole brain?

I think thats what they need to get away from, they shouldnt raise the price of the PS3 at all. I think they should be selling the bundle before the new PSP comes out. An 80gig PS3 and and PSP slim and bright with 1gig memory stick for $399. That would sell like free KFC from Oprah!! Then the new PSP comes out and BOOM huge sales numbers!!

Yes, I suggested to make it possible to use Skype on the PS3 a while back in a thread complaining about the lack of voice chat with friends. It seems to be so obvious and I doubt that it's too hard to realize. It would be an instant win.

Hey, this is a pretty sweet idea! I sold my PSP just before I found out about the Remote Play feature. If I had known about it I would have kept it for at least long enough to explore the feature. Darn it, Sony, get the word out!

The PSP has skype on it? Jeez you were right, Sony hasn't marketed them well together. I know just from the PS Store that you can buy games and download them right onto your PSP, which I think it pretty cool, since that saves you from carrying game around everywhere you go.

Not a bad idea at all though. The thing is a great idea, but I don't think they could do it for the same price. Even still, if they sold the bundle for $450, that would still be a really good deal.

I disagree.

Sony failed so far because their marketing was strictly based on hardware.

GAMERS DON'T CARE ABOUT HARDWARE!!!

They care about GAMES. At the end of the day that's what it matters.

Sony's most successful ad is already 12 years old. That Final Fantasy VII advertisement is what pushed Sony to the top (Square too)

It was effective because the ad was about a GAME. Something they can play with. Hardware is just an idea that shows possibility. Games are what you actually get.

Get an exclusive game, hype it up like hell, and advertise it so a granny in retirement home that's in middle of nowhere would know about the game. That's what Sony needs to do.

FFXIII would've been perfect for that, but unfortuately they failed to keep it exclusive (Perfect because it appeals to both male and female gamers, and both casual and hardcore gamers. Also has that big franchise name that appeals to most.)

Maybe FF vs XIII? But I doubt it has the weight as FFXIII.

You can buy PSP games off the PS3 store and store them on your HDD untill you want to play them on your PSP. Then its just a quick transfer. Its great if you dont have a big memory stick.
