Since Sony's XYZ is priced around 160,000 ~ 210,000 Yen, SCEI's PSP navigation system priced around 70,000 ~ 100,000 Yen would destroy its business, like how SCEI's PSX2 destroyed Sony's DVD player business by being 10,000 Yen cheaper than Sony's cheapest DVD plater model. Not to mention the fact that PSP has anti-aliasing, while XYZ doesn't...
Exactly, this is a Sony product. And Kutaragi already announced a rival GPS navigation system on PSP. So you have a good idea of what SCEI's system will look like.

I think Deadmeat is on to something here.
Imagine persistant online world of GTA in GPS space where you don't use controller but move yourelf instead to go around
And furthermore, other people with their PSPs are virtual character on PSP also, with jobs that can be just like their real jobs. And interaction is as real as it gets too, if you beat them up and turn of their PSP they 'die'. Of course you can do "other" stuff to them too...
The ultimate blend of virtual and real comes together. No longer will we know what is real or virtual at all... did I just slap that hooker around for real while that cop was watching me or was it just her PSP that fell out of her hand?
Ok so I am suffering serious sleep deprivation

Bit of a b&gger if the "place to be" in VR corresponds to a RoadRunner-like cliff in RLFafalada said:I think Deadmeat is on to something here.

Or a large body of water...
Interesting idea, but of marginal feasibility, just like the business model of many IT ventures.
A personal, handheld, gps-driven, 3D visual-based, with WLAN/hotspot-updated-up-to-the-minute information would be awesome. Anyone tried to find a address in urban or suburban Tokyo? I did, even the local postman was not able to help me ... that app above, would be worth killing for in situations like that
PS: Yes, I maded it on my own, after a 2 hour search and 3-4 convenience store clerk interviews

BTW on to Deadmeat. I have to ask here....is he a human?? I mean he never shows any emotions...his righting pattern is same always...and some
of his posts make no-sense at all...and his nomencleture(PSX1,PSX2,PSX3 etc)....seems impossible to be that a human could constantly post like this for so long. He is possibly an AI program (like Colonel in MGS2 ), who is designed to search internet for anything related to Playstation, CELL, PSP etc and post all negetive on B3D console forum.Now what do you think about this theory of mine?
