Sony has updated the firmware for the PlayStation Portable, enabling it to use Remote Play - a new feature which lets PSP owners remotely access media stored on their PlayStation 3 consoles. Users can stream videos, music and pictures from their PS3s directly to the PSP, but they can't play games remotely as some may believe from reading the name. Because the data is transferred via the internet it means users can access media on their PS3 from almost anywhere where they can get online, provided that the bandwidth is adequate. To use remote play, you will need to download the 3.50 firmware update for the PSP using the auto update feature, and you will also need the 1.8 PS3 firmware released just over a week ago. The 3.50 firmware update also provides a new RSS Channel Guide, offering improved support for RSS feeds.

6 Comments on PSP update enables PS3 Remote Play
Nice work Sony. now how bout Cutting a few jobs to save cash here & there because Im still not Impressed with what the PSP has to offer users.
sure u get a nice screen & Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX on a PSP but really...the PSP department seems to be a little lacking in Ideas.
I only bought one because I use to work rediculously long hours. (day & nightshift)
PSP's have been out for a while now & I still havent seen even a blink of Final Fantasy to appear on our little screens & that wildcard rehash version is a bit of a joke......
GIVE US PSP'rs SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF! GIVE US FINAL FANTASY ON PSP!!!!!
seems to me to be another way to get the PSP and the PS3 involved together. marketing ploy.while I agree it would be nice to download stuff from your ps3 to your psp at, say a hotel or airport hot spot, it wouldnt be nice for the home gamer, not really.
I dont see too many business types owning a psp and ps3, yet alone downloading video or something they have on their ps3's to this. however, it is nice to know the functionality is there if need be.
