is it possible that MGS is just getting old? I mean after 4 I see no reason in playing another mgs game.

Damndest thing happened today:  I went to download a game for my PSP using my PS3 (I always use the PS3 and then copy it to my PSP so that I can have a back up of the data).  It was just a PSP Mini but, when I went to copy it, the game started playing on my PS3!  When did this start!?!

What I'm getting at is that, instead of porting a portable game to the most powerful home console on the market, Sony should just go ahead and make ALL PSP games playable on the PS3.  It would go a long way towards helping PSP game sales, PSP console sales, and strenghening the link between the PSP and the PS3.

PSP Minis, as far as I know, have always been playable on the PS3.

And yes, I agree 100% that it would be excellent if PSP games could likewise be played on the PS3.

The only caveats I see (beyond whether it's possible to do clean emulation) would be only being compatible with games bought through PSN unless SCE allowed for some sort of weird set up that allowed you to use your PSP as a UMD Drive to play games off it through the PS3, and from a more practical standpoint, the fact that SCE actually makes a profit off of each PSP hardware unit sold.

I'm not sure they'd want to canibalize sales of the PSP if enough users would rather just play PSP games on the PS3 and save themselves $170, assuming they didn't already own a PSP.

But if they did this, I'd actually double dip on some of my PSP games in the instance that only DD copies bought through the PSN Store were compatible.
