Looks cool and I kinda want it but at the same time I don't want to support datel.

 

[fgghjjkll]

Why not? Datel did alot of hacking-related stuff. Without them, we wouldn't advance as much as we have done. Think of AR and PSP Tool batteries.

NO!!

If you would have simply watched the video you would have seen that it is clearly plugged into the headset/headphone jacks.

Wasn't there another motion sensor for the PSP that plugged into the mic/headphone ports? I don't think it was every sold (I could be wrong), since I think someone just created one of their own.

IIRC, Team NeoFlash did one.

price is amazing but i wish more games would use it,
sony products are moving towards real time movements (motion controller too)

Too bad this isn't 1st Party, so Sony won't ever really use it.

 

[kalmis]

Yawn? I dont see how any game would be fun with such controller

except I remember they never did anything with it, relied on coders to do anything with it
at least datel is releasing game profiles to use it with

this looks really fun !! You guys with PSPs should get it if the price is normal.
