One of the PSP's coolest features is also one of its least used: The ability for games "Cross-Talk" to both a PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, to unlock bonus content between a console game and its portable spin-off, to allow you to bring your console save on the go with the handheld port, or even to play online with the console version of the same game. It was so sparsely used, though, that many people don't even know that a ton of modern PlayStation features such as Remote Play and cross-saves originated thanks to the PSP. What better way to shed light on it than with a dumb video?
In total, only ~35 PS2 games ever utilized the feature, and 13 PS3 titles...though the PS3 has a few asterisks that can extend that number well into the hundreds. Up to now, there's never been a single comprehensive source digging into every single PSP game that could connect to a console counterpart.

Additional notes on PSP-PS3 connectivity:
1. Every PS1 game on PSN featured PSP-to-PS3 cross-save.
2. Every PS Minis release was available on both, and downloading them on PS3 allowed you to download the PSP version there, to transfer via USB to your handheld. Similarly, you could purchase PSP games on the PS3 store, and transfer them to your PSP directly. (This transfer feature no longer works, following a 2022 PSN security update that killed it.)
3. 30 games/apps were designed specifically for PS3 Remote Play using your PSP, as well as every PS1 game - regardless of if they were digital purchases or physical discs you already owned. These games/apps are:
