PSP Cell Phone by Christmas?

Sony Ericsson, who've already branded their W-line of phones the Walkman line, the K-line of phones the Cyber-shot line, and some random Japanese line the Bravia line, can easily brand another line (G, maybe, since P is taken) the PlayStation line. It doesn't even need games other than the mobile ones that already exist for their cellphones, which run just fine on SE's higher-end hardware.

I'd buy one if this is true. My contract ends this Christmas.
I really liked the idea behind the original Ngage but as we all know it had some pretty serious problems. A PSP cell phone would be almost a no brainer purchase to me.

If it just ran games that were already on other cellphones anyway, why bother getting the PSPhone?
Cargo Pants. Problem Solveded.
Exactly. Hell my cell phone and my DS both fit in my pocket without a problem, why do we need to combine the PSP and a cellphone?
Although it doesn't look like it combines the two... really.
I agree. It sounds like a rather bad idea.
Which is why I expect Sony to do it.
You have. I know for a fact it's been shown on this forum before. This seems to just be gizmondo digging up old news and pandering it as new.
?!?
How in the hell is that supposed to work? You have to look at the screen you know.
I can see it now, $599 US DOLLARS LAWLZZZ...
Looks like another N-Gage to me...at least as far as the US is concerned since we have such a wonderful cell phone structure.
What about those of us not fond of public ridicule?
A Purse.

Yes.

The motion sensitive controls for gaming make me a little worried, but hopefully that is just lies and what it means is that I'll have lots of fun little RPGs to play while I'm waiting around.
Hell, EVERY cell phone can play downloadable games nowadays.
Edit: And unless I'm missing something, the games it plays are the same games you can get on pretty much every other phone.
Aren't US phones somewhat hamstrung or something? Like, the games we have in over here (Zuma, Tetris, shitty cash-ins of other games) are nothing compared to the games in Japanese markets?
I forgot about that.

Why?
A lot of Koreans even watch TV on their phones.
Well, maybe this is going to start bringing that level of technology over here, if it does well enough in those regions first.

The reason why you don't see that level of technology here is because the cell phones here don't have set standards. In Korea, the TV on the phone thing started because the government made it possible for the various companies to do it.
Unfortunately, that's not the way it works for lots of reasons.
