...and played on the ps3? On the playstation network there are a lot of psp games up for download for a reasonable price and i was wondering if I were to download them can i play them on the ps3 with the ps3 controller ( i read on some forum it was possible if i use the psp as a controller but i don't have a psp ><)

PSP games cannot be played on the actual ps3 console.

Only PSP type games that can be played are the PSP Minis and not all of them are yet supported.

yeah i think you can play them on PS3, i havent downloaded any yet so im not too sure.
