Whilst looking to add to my PSP Games collection i noticed that the PSP TV Adaptor by Blaze is down in price to $33, at that price its a gamble worth taking, heres the info on this product:
The PSP TV Adaptor lets you hook up your PSP to your home television (NTSC and PAL) via Composite and Stereo connectors. This adapter requires no modification of your PSP console. This new peripheral takes a completely different approach and clips on top of your PSP screen, with two screws to fit at the back of the handheld (in these two holes you can see on the top of the UMD drive). Some sort of pyramid grows from the base, with a precision lens and mirror system at the top, capturing the image and light, in a similar way a scanner or camera would. It then converts it into a video signal that is sent through video leads going from the adapter to your TV set.
Interested then head on over to SuccessHK
Update - It has worldwide free shipping too (OK im having one)

Scarface350 has released a new Mod for the Game PSP Revolution which is a Dance Dance Revolution type game for the PSP, heres the details on this Mod:
<blockquote>Well This is my second PSP revolution mod named DDR max: night/midnight fever.Now i must say the idea and the title that i made for this MOD are wierd. Many people whom i showed the screens too all wondered how did i come out with the title and the theme. It was quite wierd really. IT JUST CAME TO ME . I decided to get more into PSP revolution modding as the game needs to be varied more and decided to make another one. I was browsing through my photoshop brush equipment to get some new ideas. suddenly i ran into this brush that had some creepy looking trees along with grass flowers and other stuff... And it Just came to me... why not make a dark scary looking forest that is 480x272 dimensional and listen to dance music. at that time i also got creative with the arrows and arrow top sections. It was a strange idea indeed But surprisingly IT ACTUALLY looks great. ESPECIALLY once you see it on the psp screen.i even put some songs that i think? would kinda synch in with the setting. Try it out and see what you think.
Technichly this is an unfinished mod because this mod got me interested and i want to improve more than just the arrows and such. I am planning to re- design all of the original PSP revolution design to best fit this mod. Comments suggestions are appreciated as well as creative ideas for my next design. re designing this might take a week or two depending on the amount of free time i have... anyway... yea thats how i got the whole scary forest rave theme.
MOD INCLUDES:
- new Note special color, I call it dark matter ( call it whatever you want)
- NEW THEME
-Variety of songs
credits- denitro deving13 Gameshark, And Wraggster for his hard work maintaining DC/EMU and Bringing good news.</blockquote>

I think its time we adopted the PSP News name as our true name which means a new banner for the site to replace the PSP Emulation News banner, we are so much more than just an emulation and homebrew news site and forums, we are probably one if not the most active true source of news for PSP around, but to be that we need the help of all of you to spread the news of this site and also if you have any PSP related news and projects then let us know and we will (if they are newsworthy) promote them, we arent shy of linking to sites so send that news in 
If anyones feeling creative to do a banner/logo for the site that has PSP News as the site name and maybe in small letters undernneath The Emulation, Homebrew and Gaming Site underneath thatd be awesome

Via PSPfanboy
There's really no telling what 2006 has in store for the PSP (we're not even sure Sony knows what's going on). But here's our predictions for what's headed our way in what is shaping up to be the year of the PSP.
PSP Prediction #1: The UMD market will collapse. 2006 will see too much UMD content delivered too quickly. It will continue to be priced too high and include the bare minimum in terms of value add (we should have predicted this for 2005). The new format war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray combined with the mainstream acceptance of "digital content on demand" via the likes of iTunes and Google will leave little room for the oh-so-cute UMD. Inventories will rise, prices will plummet and new content being delivered on the format will level off to something more sustainable by the market.
PSP Prediction #2: The PSP will take on some very specific colors. The black monolith will make some room at the table for brothers and sisters of different colors. Sony will begin to steal adopt some tried-and-true iPod marketing tactics and release the PSP with new color and accessory options before the year is out. Count on at least two new colors, including a hot-rod red and a camo green, possibly marketed with or around the likes of, oh, let's say Gran Turismo 4 and Metal Gear Solid.
PSP Prediction #3: The PSP will allow you to access your PS3 from anywhere. Now, this prediction depends on the release date of the PS3. It's still Spring right? Right. Anyway, you'll be able to access content stored on your PS3's HDD (media, game saves, whatever) by accessing it via the PSP over a wifi Internet connection. Have a layover at the airport? Just whip out your PSP, access a hotspot and phone home to stream your favorite movie. Who needs memory sticks now?
PSP Prediction #4: The PSP will get a price drop and then some. Yeah, this one is a bit of a no-brainer, but we wanted to get at least 1 out of 5 right. The PSP will certainly see a price drop this year (likely sometime in the Fall, but possibly at E3). We expect it to be in the $50 dollar range, but you may also see additional pack-ins or offers that sweeten the pot. Don't be surprised to see another movie included "free" like Spiderman was during the PSP's launch. In fact, depending on how bad the UMD crash of '06 gets, you may see multiple free movie offers as Sony tries to dump and write-off the inventory of its own studio's UMDs. This scenario would be very similar to the early days of DVD where Warner Brothers produced too much product and offered 5 free DVDs with the purchase of certain partner companies' DVD players.
PSP Prediction #5: Sony will completely botch PSP advertising in 06. Ok, so we're going for a guaranteed 2 out of 5 correct predictions now. After a couple of advertising fiascoes in 2005 (the "Italy incident" and the "Graffiti conundrum") Sony will take a much more cautious approach, and, again, look at how Apple select competitors have successfully advertised their products. Expect PSP ads to go upscale and play up the "lifestyle" aspects of the device ("now with new colors that match any personality!"). This will further distance the PSP from its actual core competency: gaming. It will take Nintendo's Gameboy SP successor to wake Sony up and get them back on track with the PSP as a gaming device.
There you have it, 5 predictions for the ages (or at least 2006). Agree, disagree? Have your own predictions? Join the fun and comment below.

2005 was good to the games industry, due mostly in part to handheld gaming (ahh, those busy lifestyles). The NPD Group reports U.S. game retail sales hit a record $10.5 billion in 2005, breaking the previous record of $10.3 billion set back in 2002. And get this; software sales for the GBA, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP increased by 42 percent over 2004. Nintendo's five-year-old GBA comprised a whopping 52% of total handheld sales.
The article continues: "Console software experienced a 12 percent decline, with hardware and accessories declining 3 percent and 8 percent respectively from 2004. Many analysts and executives blame the decline in console software and hardware sales on consumer anticipation of the Xbox 360, which remains in short supply nearly three months after the console's launch."
So are we seeing a trend here? Is portable gaming, not consoles, where the majority of revenue growth be found? Either way, high-fives all around to the little portables that could.

Forbes has recently posted an article on IBM's new revolutionary Cell processor. Cell is going to enable PS3 developers to create movie-quality games with blazing-speed graphics. Applications in other areas are also considered." From the article: "Some techies say PlayStation 3, which may debut by midyear and could end up in 100 million homes in five years, will usher in the next microchip revolution. The Sony system owes its prowess to a microprocessor called Cell, which was cooked up by chip wizards at IBM (with help from Sony and Toshiba) at a cost of $400 million over five years.

According to the latest issue of Famitsu, Taito is developing a new installment of its Bust-A-Move puzzle series for the PSP. The game is titled Ultra Puzzle Bobble Pocket, and is slated for release on March 23. Ultra Puzzle Bobble Pocket keeps the traditional rules of the series while spicing up the gameplay with 16 different puzzle modes. The player is required to connect three bubbles of the same color in order to erase them from the screen. The puzzle modes in Ultra Puzzle Bobble Pocket include Blind Puzzle, where the colors of the bubbles on the screen are hidden with symbols, and See-Saw, where the screen tilts and sways if there are too many pieces on one side. As expected, players can challenge one another by using the PSP's ad hoc connection.

Looking at the world of gamers and we are a somewhat funny bunch, the japanese love their Role Player Games while the Americans love their American Football and Baseball Games whilst for me in the UK we love games like Fifa and Championship Manager.
Whilst hardcore gamers will try any type of games some people are stuck to just 2 types of games.
So for the sake of interest and this doesnt have to be PSP Specific because some game types dont exist yet, lets have your 3 favourite types of games and where your based and see if a pattern emerges (all in the name of fun)
Ill start
UK
1) RTS Games
2) Management Sims
3) FPS/War Games

FeAReD let us know that a new Demo has been released for the PSP Firmware versions 2.5 & 2.6 also works on v2.01
Over at PSP3D they posted this:
"We at PSP 3D are happy to introduce the second homebrew application for 2.5 and 2.6 (and 2.01) firmwares. It is a ported Starfield demonstration. This Starfield demo was originally made for 2.0 firmware by Lok Tai (Andy) Fung.
This is just something fun to look at and show off to your friends, and something to keep you occupied along with Tetris as we all patiently wait for an EBOOT loader. The more homebrew apps for 2.5/2.6, the better!
To run it, just use it like you would use 2.5/2.6 Tetris.
As always, big ups to Fanjita for all his efforts in making 2.5/2.6 homebrew possible.
Enjoy. And as a side note, if you are a developer or have the source code to a 2.0 firmware game/demo, feel free to send us the source and we will try our best to make it 2.5/2.6 compatible."
Awesome news PSP3D, could this be a way to get emulators lets hope that they do one day on the latest firmware versions.
