As weird as that sounds, it just might be what someone said while the PSP was still in development. It has been revealed in a recent copy of Famitsu magazine that certain button combinations, when inputted on a PSP, will cause your Aibo (assuming you actually bought one of the things) to perform tricks. As far as we can tell, this feature is either an unintentional side-effect, or an unannounced feature that Sony has yet to clue us in on. Though it was quite the rage in years past, the popularity of the Aibo on whole has waned significantly, although many users still swear by them. Given the fact that Aibos have been around for quite some time, it is not known as to whether or not the feature is only usable in the newer models, and the vagueness of the article only serves to make things more puzzling. Conjecture has also arisen that the feature in question could be a move by Sony to push more Aibo units out the door, though this seems highly dubious. Whether or not the feature is intentional almost seems like a moot point though, as this is the best thing that's happened to the Aibo since Dekavoice.

All in all, it's good to the see that the PSP has even more functionality than we had originally hoped. Plus, it's even better to see that old (albeit, robot) dogs can learn new tricks.
