In an interview with MTV, Sony's marketing boss John Koller confirms plans on syncing the Playstation 3 virtual world with the Playstation Portable. Nothing official has been stated on what would be in this Playstation Portable extension of "Home", maybe it will be just messaging or customisation features, we are not to sure. But they do plan on something.

MMO addicts; it's time cut up your Ethernet cables (and turn off you Wi-Fi, you dirty blighters), because PlayStation Home is well and truly on the way - and it looks like Sony's trying to stick it on PSP as well.

In an interview with MTV John Koller, marketing boss at SCEA, confirms that the company has plans to sync PS3's virtual online world with the PSP, although it hasn't come up with anything concrete yet.

"Intuitively, if you take the PSP with you, you would want to take some of Home with you," Koller said, adding that ideas have included having an extra room of Home on the PSP.

Will you still use a virtual PSP in the PSP version though? We feel a paradox coming...

Not plans are set in stone, but it looks likely you'll be able to transfer at least some part of Home to Sony's handheld when you're on the go - even if it's just messaging and customisation features.

It makes perfect sense for Sony, but from the gamers perspective how deep do we really want Home to go?

Will gamers only be satisfied when the only escape from MMO addiction is the sweet embrace of death? We reckon bus rides and toilet breaks are there for a reason...

    This would definately cause me to bag a PSP sooner than expected. Home is quite a nice feature, and has a lot of potential.
