E3 2005: Xbox 360 Connects with PSP

Microsoft holds hands with Sony's handheld.

May 17, 2005 - At Microsoft's Pre-E3 Press Conference, it was revealed that the Xbox 360 enables gamers to connect all sorts of peripherals to the new system. Want to steam music from your Ipod through the 360? Easy enough. How about uploading images from your digital camera? Assured. What about having your PSP make sweet, sweet connectivity with the Three-Six-Oh? Yeah, you can do that too.

While Microsoft wasn't bold enough to show this type of connectivity first-hand, the software giant showed a diagram that included Sony's PSP. The 360 can hook up with anything with a USB port, the PSP included. Finally you can swap porn between your PC, PSP and Xbox 360. The glory days are upon us!

Several people at Microsoft have told IGN in the past that while Microsoft finds it tempting to enter the handheld realm, they are content with the power of the Pocket PC. It's unlikely you'll see Xbox 360 commercials featuring the PSP, but expect the all-inclusive message of the 360 to include occasional mentions of Microsoft competitors.

Expect PSP/Xbox 360 connectivity impressions the moment we get the new monster machine in the IGN office.
