Konami's Hideo Kojima demonstrates the "Transfarring" process
Metal Gear Solid series creator Hideo Kojima demonstrated Konami's newest gaming feature, "Transfarring", that lets gamers transfer save games between consoles and handheld gaming devices to continue their gaming experience on the fly.
It's part of Kojima's vision of a future in gaming that is not segmented by multiple consoles — where the same game works on any device, like a PlayStation 3 or a PlayStation Portable (PSP) device, or on any of the newest consoles coming out like Sony's Next Generation Portable (NGP). Gamers can plug their PSP devices into their PS3 and transfer a save game seamlessly to the portable device. The "Transfarring" service, which still uses a physical cable, is likely a precursor to Sony's expected cloud-based save game storage system — which could make transferring save games between the PSP and PS3 even easier.
