Sony Aibos PS Compatible with the PLAYSTATION 3?

Stiff Magazine has a rumor running that the upcoming Sony Aibos PS, a robotic dog, is compatible with the PLAYSTATION 3 and PLAYSTATION Portable. The rumor says the dog is being resuscitated by Sony's PLAYSTATION division in attempt to "bolster the PS3's aresnal."

The Aibos PS is going to have it's own appearence in Home as well and react in the real world as he does in the Home enviorment, according to the magazine's article.

The rumor also states you will be able to download new personalities for your dog via the PLAYSTATION Network, and you can contrl the dog via the PSP's Wi-Fi. The D-Pad will control walking and the main four shape buttons for head movement.

It seems likea cool idea, but who would want a remote control dog?
