New PSP 3.5 Firmware Update Adds PS3 Remote Play

[thexfactor]

Sony’s PSP has received a new 3.5 firmware update. This update, along with the latest 1.8 PlayStation 3 firmware, unlocks one of the most exciting connectivity features between the two Sony devices: Remote Play.

Remote Play enables the two devices to connect to each other, one serving as a media hub and the other as a portable viewer. Users can now store their music, pictures and video content on their PlayStation 3 console, and access it remotely with their PSP wherever and whenever it is connected to an adequate Internet connection.

While users can carry gigabytes of media on their PSPs using Memory Stick Pro, connectivity with the PlayStation 3 offers access to 20 or 60 GB (or even more for those who have upgraded their consoles). The term Remote Play is a bit of a misnomer, however, as the system does not currently support any form of gaming.

I'm looking forward to the update. Remote Play is a unique experience of the PSP-PS3 combo!

I don't know if it'll work, but I'll try to go online in PSP games via internet connected to my PS3 over remote play...

^^ If it does work,then I can finally play MGSPO online.

As for the rest of the features,they are kinda useless to me except for the music.

Good feature but kinda useless here in india.Most areas don't have wifi. This would work only when wimax is deployed throughout india and psp2 has a built in wimax chip instead of the wifi.Then we can also use ps3 to stream tv via wimax to the psp.That would be cool.Able to watch your fav. tv shows no matter where you are!Ps3 would then be just like sling box.
