PSP gossip is coming faster than PSP games at present. The latest word, as reported today by gamesindustry.biz, is that PlayStation Home – the upcoming graphics-based social networking hub for PlayStation 3 gamers – will be accessible by PSP after all.

Don't hold your breath. The details, unearthed in an official Sony PDF file meant for third-party games developers, suggest merely that certain Home features are likely to be accessible via PlayStation Portable and mobile phone in some form.

It doesn't sound like much, but we were flabberghasted that Sony's Phil Harrison didn't mention PSP during his GDC Home announcement last week, so some role for PSP is better than nothing. And the mobile interaction is an unexpected bonus.

That said, it could well transpire that this document is out of date, or that there are technical details yet to be ironed out regarding hooking up PSP and PlayStation Home (we'd suggest piracy protection concerns may be one issue).

If you want to learn more about PlayStation Home, Tech Digest has just posted a summary of this newly discovered roadmap. Otherwise, go check out more PSP buzz in our recent rumour recap, or read today's confirmation from Sony's UK MD that the PSP we know and love is going to be revamped.

flabberghasted ............. funny word

it looks like at good game. but 1 that gets boaring very quick (google it 2 find images of the game)

Sorry to tell you but home isn't a game, its like a virtual chat room with many other features included, I think eventually you can play games in home though. Also I hope home is usable for the PSP because I think they could make some really great features between the two systems.

It looks like the sims exclusive to people with PS3's

well it prolly wont hav all the same features tho/or the same graphics (duh)
