A Sony patent application (http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=20070174531&OS=20070174531&RS=20070174531) filled in September 2005 has just popped up showing a PS2-controller-PSP-dock. In a nutshell, this makes it possible to control the PSP, making this contraption the first ever dual-analog rumbling portable able to perfectly replicate PS2 game play. Wonder if this will be implemented in the new PS3 controller and PSP Slim? 'Cause I would so use this.

I think its a waste because it takes away from the portability of the PSP. I guess maybe they were thinking if you use the TV out option on the new PSP it could be worthwhile but still it just screams clunky to me.

I'd be nice if you could attach the ps3 controller to the psp, and use it to play psp games via the video out on tv. That would make the psp into one of those portable tv games. Those old school games on tv were pretty good, pac man w/ video out and the joystick, they have madden 95, nhl 96, etc.

Having the psp actually attached to the controller... who came up with that one!
