An update to the PlayStation Portable (PSP) allows gamers to play PSOne
titles purchased at
Sony's online
store.
Firmware update 3.80 allows the PSP to stream games from PSOne discs played
on a PlayStation 3 using the Remote Play function.
Both machines need to have access to a Wi-Fi network for the process to work.
Players will have to reassign some of the buttons on the handheld games
console, as it does not have as many as the Sony PSOne controller.
The PlayStation 3 also received its latest firmware update, taking it up to
version 2.10. PS3 owners can now play DiVx and WMV files, as well as Blu-ray 1.1
discs.
An added Voice Changer feature also lets players modulate the tone of their
voice using five preset levels.
Sales of Sony's PSP more than doubled last week in Japan, according to data
from market analyst
Media
Create.
The PSP sold 184,610 units in the week ending 16 December, easily beating the
91,481 units the previous week.
However, it still trailed behind Nintendo's DS, which saw weekly sales of
222,144 units in Japan.
