Digital Innovations is providing the latest solution, and this one will actually be available at retail. The GameDR Excelerator Series ScreenMax Video Transmission System will cost you $69.99, and the device reportedly resembles an oversized mouse. The device's "camera and lens system digitizes the PSP image, transmits it through a four-foot-long built-in cable that is attached to a TV or monitor on the other end, and reproduces the image in magnified form for a full-size gaming or viewing experience," reads the press release. You'll also need four AA batteries to keep this sucker running, but there's (of course) an optional accessory so you can jack into the wall. If big-screen PSP playing and watching interests you, Digital Innovation is shipping their device some time next month. I cynically expect PS3 to have an optional UMD drive (likely pricey add-in that would play PSP games), but I'm a little disappointed it isn't a stand-alone device, because PSP will likely have a nice little library of games...by the end of this year. But, cheer up... http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3146705 Liberty City Stories On PS2 Take-Two's financial report reveals bizarre news. by Patrick Klepek, 01/05/2006 51 of 61 users recommend this story. PSP owners have been celebrating the technological and creative achievements of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, but something must not be pleasing ol' Take-Two Interactive; their 2005 financial report says they're already planning on porting the portable release onto the PlayStation 2. Er, what? Apparently the PlayStation 2 version is expected in the second quarter of this year, but the financial report doesn't detail what, if any, enhancements to expect from the port, but the decision may be fueled by sluggish holiday sales. "Clearly, the holiday season did not live up to anyone's expectations," says president and CEO Paul Eibeler. There's also confirmation of another portable Grand Theft Auto sometime next year. Take-Two already confirmed the game was in development, but at least we know it's still on track. Take-Two unsurprisingly makes no mention of showing off or releasing a next-generation version of Grand Theft Auto. Considering that LCS is (at least by most biased accounts, and the occasional impartial one), is a very compromised GTA, this one should be stuffed with extras. Admittedly, it makes sense considering how many people walk in a Gamestop, with a snot-nosed brat to their sides, wanting to get the formerly non-existent "GTA Liberty City for PS2."
