What mini's are there and are they any good? Not having a PSP, I never really worried about them.
And I hope they will bring individual game save transfer later. Say play downstairs a game, move upstairs, transfer over the game save, play on that PS3, then go back down, transfer the save, play some more. As long as you are on the same LAN I think this should work eventually.

If you think the iPhone games are any good, you should pick up an iPod touch and if you don't think they're any good, the ports won't be any better

Sweetness!
Not as good as full PSP emu obviously, but I guess they were able to build PS3 playability into their licensing terms for minis more easily.
This is another maybe easier avenue for indies to get games onto PS3 too.
I hope this opens the door to full PSP support. This is a good step in the right direction.
(Also, on a side note, I think it's pretty awesome how Sony's kept bringing up new stuff right up to the very end of the year - the modnation beta, the gt5 trial demo, new - pretty substantial - firmware etc. Good going.)
edit - also note how they no longer refer to them as 'PSP' minis. Just 'minis' now. First common software platform twixt PS3 and PSP.

Most if not all Slim owners are affected by the controller bluetooth issue, so i wonder why they made this optional..??
Until this, categorizing the PSP games off into Minis and real games didn't make any sense to me. They've essentially created a section to safely skip over when I check out a store update. I understand the changed QA process, but that's internal details. You don't need to present a Minis section on the store to express a development difference. They could've let the games differentiate on price points alone.
I'm still not sure I'll grab Minis. They seem so basic, especially when you want to run them on a PS3. Even the pure puzzle games on PSN tend to have a lot of bells and whistles.

PSP GAMES Playable on PS3

Yeah, I think this does get the foot in the door for full PSP support - since that's got a big back catalog to deal with, I'm sure the licensing terms are a lot more complicated to work out (some people will want a separate sale if you want to play it on your PSP and your PS3, et cetera, and Sony will need to discourage them). If the PSP/PS3 minis thing works out well, it'll be another selling point that Sony has and a good proof of concept - though if it's possible, and this more or less shows that it is (and there's no reason to think it isn't), PSP backwards compatibility has plenty of financial incentives already.gofreak said:
Oh god what if War of the Lions played without slowdown on the PS3!
I'd see myself buying full PSP games if they were also playable on the PS3. I guess PSP minis is a good start, but they should be going all the way with PSP emulation.
I already own a PSP and I've been thinking of getting a PSP Go so, as a PS3 owner, if I had the chance to buy regular PSP games playable on both systems just like PS1 games, I wouldn't think twice, I'd be a happy PSP Go owner.

I NEED to know this! I want to play it on my TV!°°ToMmY°° said:
It was lumped under the minis category in the store but in the XMB on the 'Go', the icon is a full PSP icon, not the smaller bordered minis icon. I don't think it will be classed as a mini for the purposes of this emulation.

This is like a dream come true.
Firmware update of the decade if the list in the OP is true.

That would be nice. Why can't they add that ? With DS3 controls of course.
It's possible with homebrew (replace PS3 with PC), so surely Sony can do it too ?

I don't know about that, I think that the PS3 would be able to decompress it a whole lot faster than the PSP.Baha said:
I am kind of disappointed to see that they don't have a better solution for backing up save data onto an external data source.
They need to make a tool that will encrypt the data as one large file, link it to the PSN account, this way people can't share game saves. I really need to see this happen. The new method is nice, but it's still not "nice enough".

If they've gone and made a PSP emulator for PS3, why not allow people to play full PSP games on it?
They'll greatly improve the sales of their full games!

I think Sony's more likely to just save that stuff for PSP2. If you can transfer saves back and forth between platforms, and one of the platforms is insecure and has CWCheat... you're better off not including trophies on EITHER platform.gofreak said:
I just showed up to point out that Sony's found another potential backdoor here.
First, they couldn't get Netflix native so they used BD-Java or whatever to get around that.
Now they've supposedly got Pac-man Championship Edition coming to the PSP as a Mini. And then that'll work on the PS3 through this little update.
If it pans out that way for PSP/PS3 Pac-man CE then ... very clever!
(Background: Pac-man CE was supposedly locked up tight to prevent it from being on other consoles.)

I assume they are testing the waters.
Also, aren't most minis based on flash or something similar? I don't think it's actually a "PSP Emulator" rather, both the PSP and PS3 are capable of running minis, but minis are not the same as full fledged PSP hardware*.
*I really don't know, just assuming here.
