A demo is out, you're at work, turn on your psp, turn on the ps3 remotely, set up the download on the PS3 remotely, when you get home demo is ready to play.
Wanna show a friend a video/photo you have on the ps3? Do the same.
Wanna play LAIR (lol)? You can.
Just some examples of many.
Once some PS3 RPGs start having the remote play feature this is gonna be so awesome.

You are away from home and do not want to carry over 10-20 GB worth of pictures, music, and movies, but you want to watch them without having to leave the PS3 on all the time while you are away... it can be useful

To get your PSP, switch on your PS3, and stream all the videos you have in there.

A lot of the features you guys ask for are great and much needed (and would never have occurred to me), but I'm surprised that less people are pining for a crucial feature that I can't believe the PS3 lacks which they could add in two seconds: There's no excuse for the SIXAXIS not turning itself off after five minutes of inactivity. None. Since it's so easy to forget that one has left the PS3 on, about 80% of the time when I reach for a SIXAXIS, the battery is dead. The wireless Logitech PS2 controller I use with the PS3 turns itself off, and so does the wireless Les Paul in GH III. The lack of this feature in the SIXAXIS is just shameful, no two ways about it.

But that's not really a graphically impressive game that needs a lot of RAM (and it's not a typical game either).Metalmurphy said:
If I want the controller off, I just turn it off. Very painless IMO.andrewjnyc said:

The progress they're making has not been good on that front. It's not been wasted time but it's not a realistic goal either. 4mb here, 7mb there, it's like getting blood out of a stone.Metalmurphy said:

ahhhhh so now you don't have to manually set your PS3 w/ Remote Play before you leave home? Niiiice!
can you actually play PS1 games through remote play, or is it where you copy the PS1 game to your memory stick? I've been waiting on getting a new mem stick, but if I can go ahead and play PS1 games through remote play with my stock 32MB stick, WOOT!!!Firewire said:

Well for me, I have a great upload speed but what can I do with it. And especially I travel lots.
I can use the upload bandwidth for PS3 remote play on the internet. I have to get on internet in the otherplace like Starbuck or hotel wifi if aboad.
So I can rather use PS3 browsers which it is faster and fexible than PSP version. I could watch the movie from PS3 HDD, or maybe play a PSN game if future support for PSP (PSX is atm).
It works that way in several that I've worked with and seen. For context, I work in enterprise software development.borghe said:
The decimal portion still allows one to designate major and minor releases, based simply on the absolute scale of the increment. As I alluded to earlier, this is a *public* designation. For all we know, they could be using something else internally. General public isn't likely to be familiar with a major/minor versioning scheme as people like yourself, myself and hardcore gamer types around here are. A straight sequential system is more easily understandable for non developers and sticking to decimal increments avoids getting into high numbers just to effectively communicate the scale of any given update.
Just look at past FW releases for PSP/PS3, the increments associated with them and scope of changes. The scope of the changes in this update aren't significantly different from updates representing roughly the same increment. You're complaining that this isn't a worthy update for a major version increment, yet refuse to accept that they could be versioning any other way to account for that.

they need to do this for the game icon too. mine is starting to get cluttered with psn titles and demo icons
I understand you're in enterprise development. and for my context, I've been in development for 15 years on everything from enterprise wide ERP systems to stupid self-developed freeware. I can honestly say this is the first time I've ever heard of a release system using decimal notation that was not using a major/minor system.kaching said:
oh well, from that point of view it's still stupid. however none of that changes the content or value (or lack thereof in some cases) of the update, so whatever.

Furthermore, connecting your PSP to a TV with the AV-out and having your PS3 on a remote TV..sans games anyway..
The whole AV-out thing on PSP was a nice, unexpected little piece of this puzzle.
I'd like to see them make Remote Play a two-way thing next. E.g. taking pictures with a Go cam, or transferring pictures from a camera to memory stick, and then uploading them to your PS3 back home, and firing off an email to tell the folks back home to check the PS3 for new pics from your holiday, or whatever.
I can't help but feel like Sony needs to produce a PSP with 3G wireless capability to really capitalize on the Remote Play idea, or at least start attaching Remote Play to some 3G devices. All the other pieces are in place now, but there's absolutely nowhere for me at work or on the commute to work to take advantage of Remote Play with the PSP, which is when I have the most opportunity to use it.
I'm willing to bet in the near future that the Information Board will be overlayed on games.
Because what stopped Sony from linking the IB to a webpage on the browser, like the Online Manuals? Why create a small extra window when you have a ton of space when using the standard XMB? Probably because you don't have that luxury when gamin'.
I mean, look at that window. That's just begging to be laid on top of something.

Agreed. Looking at all these 3g broadband modems coming out here, I'd love to be able to connect the PSP to one of them. Mobile broadband is the future for this IMO, over WIFI (although obviously both would still be supported..particularly while mobile broadband data caps remain at a few GB - at least like it is here).

I think what people are saying is the new features not mentioned will basically be add-ons little things nothing that was EARTH shattering or Impressive like we have been asking for.
I mean the PS3 has been out for a year now and we still cant get an ingame Menu!? Nor can we invite our firends to games easily!

never thought about it that way. so if other games in the future support remote play, you can pretty much play them on any tv as long as you have a slim psp and the av cables.
imagine going on business trip and being able to play GOWIII on the tv in your hotel room.
