"Remote Play" function explored!

So we got a lot of comments asking what this "Remote Play" feature was on the PS3 as listed on its translated interface menu. Thanks to our fellow Sony-addicts over at PSPFanboy, we've got a little more to tell you. With "Remote Play", you can stream data onto your PSP from your PS3 -- both video and game content. Does this mean you can take your PSP into the bathroom and continue playing the PS3 game in a more, erm, private setting? No time to waste, right? We're not sure if you can do that yet, but it seems fairly likely, so long as the image is all that's depicted on the PSP, leaving all the processing for the bigger, badder PS3 a room away.

Will we be able to stream Blu-ray movies onto the PSP, or UMD movies onto the PS3? Don't really know. But we do know that this capability is thanks to Wi-Fi, meaning you'll have to scrounge up that extra $100 for the premium PS3. Not like you'll find any of the 20GB models anyway. So there's your answer! Remote Play is streaming data between PSP's and the PS3.
