Saw this doing the rounds,
Sony will be bringing classic PlayStation Portable titles to PlayStation 3 as part of a new PSP Remaster lineup. The company announced the series today along with its first major release.

PSP Remaster offers PSP titles remastered for play on the PS3. The games are spruced up with full HD visuals, compatibility with Dual Shock 3, PS3 exclusive content, 3D support, and other features.

The PSP and PS3 versions of the game also share save data. Sony says that this could allow you to play a game on the PSP while on the go, then continue playing when you return home.

The PS3 versions are also compatible with Sony's Ad Hoc Party for PlayStation Portable service for network play. This free PS3 app normally allows local play PSP titles to use the PS3 as a proxy for true online play.

The series will kick off first in Japan through sales of Blu-ray Disc titles, Sony said. The wording of Sony's statement suggests that the series will also be released internationally and will also see some games offered in download form. The press release did not explicitly mention these areas, though.

For the series' first title, Sony has a biggie. As detailed earlier today, Capcom will release a PS3 version of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd under the name Monster Hunter Portable HD. The 4.5 million selling PSP title will feature 3D support, HD visuals and shared save files with the PSP, and will see release this summer.
This goes inline with the rumour of the PSP GOW games coming to PS3, so what are wanting to see? Peace walker, Patapon games, VC 2 and 3? I wonder if these will also be ported to the NGP as the MH game was going to have a special NGP version.
 
The big news od trhis was that Monster Hunter will come to the PS3. Its a massive game in Japan and that is sure to mean big sales.
 
Getting ready to hand over the top psp games to the NGP it seems

Will pick up a couple as monste hunter has always interestdd me but i had sold on my psp by then
 
Pretty much killed the PSP but oh well. I have already bought the God of War games so doubt i'll bother for just a HD upgrade (I know they say they're adding some content too but I doubt it'll be much) so just hoping they put up something decent that I don't own already. If they put up all the valkyria chronicles games that could be interesting but otherwise I doubt I'd be too interested.
 
Also suggestions going around that these will be available to play in some way on the NGP too. Sort of them building a list of classic hits for the NGP that gives them a boost to the library once its launched.
