ESRB reveals revolutionary "beats" project for PSP
The
ESRB lists a mysterious new product for PSP, simply titled
beats.
According to our reader, Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe
trademarked the title back in January, with a truly ambitious
description. We're still looking for the original source, but we've
seen this description on
NeoGAF as well:
"Providing
access to gaming, digital music and/or video web sites; providing
wireless transmission of music, video and games, via the Internet and
via communications networks;
uploading and downloading of music, video and games, via the Internet
and via communications networks; providing on-line bulletin boards for
the transmission of messages among computer users concerning games,
music and videos; distribution of computer software relating to music,
video and games over local or global communications networks;
communication services in the form of matching users for the transfer
of music and video recordings via communication networks; information,
advisory and consultancy services relating to all the aforesaid."
Y.M. has intelligently put two and two together: Sony said they were looking into expanding the capabilties of PSP to
target the teen market. Certainly, a wireless music and video sharing service would out-do everything
Zune tried to. The evidence is pointing to a truly revolutionary service for PSP--
beats can become the PSP equivalent of PS3's
Home.
