Hey! You got your PSP in my PS3! Sony has just announced plans to transport titles from its PlayStation Portable library to the PlayStation 3but this isn't just going to be an emulator-style port. The games in Sony's new PlayStation Portable Remaster Series are going to get the George Lucas treatment: new content, HD graphics, support for DualShock 3 controllers, and possibly stereoscopic 3D support.

But that's not even the coolest aspect of the new program for dual-PS3 and PSP owners. When you fire up a title like Monster Hunter Portable 3rdthe first game released in the Remaster series (Japan only; no international titles have been announced yet)you'll be playing the exact same game no matter which platform you're sitting in front of. By that, we mean that your specific saved game will seamlessly bounce between your PS3 console and your PSP, ensuring that you'll be able to continue your progress in a game whether you're walking down the street or planting yourself at your television.

Games in the PlayStation Portable Remaster Series will also work with Sony's Ad Hoc multiplayer service. So, in theory, someone playing a PSP title on a PS3 will still be able to link up with other gamers playing the title on their PSPs via the Internetfor those gamers, the PS3 serves as a kind of wireless access point that tricks the PSP into believing that it's connecting up with someone standing right next to you. In actuality, said opponent can be located anywhere with an Internet connection, provided he or she is also using the PS3/PSP Ad Hoc bridge.

Unfortunately, Sony hasn't spilled any details as to which other games in its PSP library might get the remaster treatment. There's also no timeline for when the service might hit the U.S. With the big E3 show but one month away, however, expect chit-chat aroun the Sony's Remaster Series to hit a feverish pace.
