This may be old news, but if it is I completely missed it the first time around. In the latest issue of PSM, a reader writes in to ask about the Playstation Portable’s LocationFree TV support and whether it can be used with the Playstation 3.

Back at E3 during the unveiling, Sony announced that the PS3 would be able to stream multimedia content to the PSP. PSM is saying that they’ve talked to developers who say that it will be done through LocationFree TV. In other words, don’t buy a $300 LocationFree TV base station if you plan on purchasing a PS3, it will be a waste of money.

This explains why Sony has been so disinterested in talking up the PSP’s TV-streaming capabilities. When I talked to the official Playstation folk, they told me to talk to the consumer electronics folk, who roundly dismissed me. I’m assuming they don’t want to officially announce the capabilities yet, but also don’t want to persuade people into buying unnecessary equipment.

If the PS3 does support Location Free TV and will stream directly to the PSP, all the more reason not to complain if the price is a bit ($100) higher than the Xbox360.

And all the more incentive to get one if its price is comparable to the 360 also!
