Rumor: New Aibo PS3, PSP Compatible?

Click for bigger image

Stuff magazine is running a rumor item on the possibility of an upcoming Aibo, the robotic dog, working with the Playstation Portable and Playstation 3. The rumor goes that the Sony Aibo PS, as they call it, is being resuscitated by Sony's Playstation division in an attempt to "bolster the PS3's arsenal."

The Aibo PS will appear with its own avatar within Home and react in the real world as he does in the PS3's upcoming interactive environment, according to the article. The rumor article goes on to say that you will be able to download new personalities for the dog from the Playstation Network and that the dog will be fully controllable using a PSP via WiFi. The dog's head camera will send a real world vid feed to the PSP's screen as well. The Dpad will control walking movement and the four main buttons will deal with head movement, which seems odd.

The Stuff folks rate this rumor as having a 53 percent probability. Seems like a cool concept, but I wonder if there's the market for it to hit the real world. Who am I kidding? A remote control dog that can send live video from its head, sign me up for a baker's dozen.

Well Sony did make the best robotic dog ever. I'd like to see how it's improved. Just from the rumor it seems like quite a change. The AI though is really important, and how you can download new personalities through the PSN store seems pretty cool. I might be a nervous wreck though with a robotic dog connected to the internet, cameras, connection to Home. lol. If they do come out with it, I bet I will get it. I almost got the last Aibo, this time with all this stuff rumored to be is way too good to pass up.

i could imagine downloading a new "Cujo" personality for my Aibo.

EricJ · 12-09-2007, 10:04 AM

Can we program it so that it answers commands with "Affirmative....Mah-ster"?

lch · 12-09-2007, 10:41 AM

i so sad when that stringer axe the robotic department.

if the rumour is true, i will buy 1.

It could be the personality of your PS3. When you play against the PS3 and it beats you, it could turn it's little robotic head towards you and laugh. At which point it would probably get punted out of the window

I can see it now, the new age of video piracy has begun.
Here is someone sitting in a theater with their new"dog" pirating the latest and greatest.

I love it

xtop · 12-09-2007, 12:58 PM

i thought sony sold the robotic divison off

Zaphod · 12-09-2007, 01:18 PM

I just don't get the fascination of it. Just seems kind of stupid to me. Just goes to show how impersonal the world is becoming when we start wanting digital recreations of actual real life, living things. No wonder so many people can't even hold a decent conversation.

whippersnapper · 12-09-2007, 01:21 PM

The question is ... can it be made to snarl at the sight of an HD-DVD disc?

If it will lift its leg and urinate on it then that is enough for me, I'm sold!

For the AI and features.
Don't think it would affect my conversation skills since I don't use my conversation skills with a real dog lol.

You would hope not right?

I'm still waiting on "Catbo". I don't like dogs.

Sling · 12-09-2007, 03:23 PM

The new robotic dog could fetch beer from frig while watching BR movies or playing PS3 games

How boring would that be? It would just sit in a bed and lick itself all day

It should have enough intelligence to learn how to respond to commands, so if you say, "HD-DVD!" it can respond with growls and barks.

Also, I'd love to download a "Robo-Puppy" personality for it (from Futurama) just so that I can hear "Commencing two-hour yipping session" and "Robo Puppy mistreatment alert!"

blu-rayfan101 · 12-09-2007, 07:30 PM

This would be awesome because I could freak my dog at night when it is sleeping and the robo dog just comes and scares it when it wakes up.
I hope it has sound!

Thanks for making me laugh!

Can someone photoshop a pic of Aibo with a dud player in its mouth?

Clark Kent · 12-09-2007, 11:39 PM

I bet this is mostly for the Japanese market. The Japanese love stuff like this and would help it to compete against the Wii there.
