Still scratching your head at the Remote Play function on your PS3? Do you want to access files from your PS3 on your PSP very, very badly? Videos, photos, music... it's all waiting for you! Luckily, someone's spotted a video that explains the process and have forwarded it to us... and we're forwarding it to you! Overall, it doesn't seem to be all too complicated, but it just doesn't seem like common sense, either. Either way, how cool is it that you can watch the trailer of Lair on your PSP? It's pretty cool. We've got to tip our hat to this -- we're glad to finally see the Remote Play function explored. Keep in mind, though, you need the 60GB version of the PS3 to explore this option, although adding a wireless adaptor to your PS3 might work. Feel free to try it out if you'd like.
[thanks, rivithed!]

But can you access files on your PS3 via the internet, like a Location Free player ?

ZRX... i don't think they have that feature yet, but i assume it's possible. right now remote play is just for lan where your PS3 acts as an access point for you PS3

ZRX, they are adding this in a month or two via firmware update. Right now its just kind of a fun gimmick.
Once they set that up though, it's gonna be AWESOME.

I got remote play working after about 10 minutes. It was a little confusing, but I figured it out. It is kinda cool, but I guess if I'm within WiFi access of my PS3 I'll just watch the video on my PS3.

I've used Remote Play, it took a bit of time to figure it out. It would be great if it would work over the Internet, but it doesn't yet. Video quality does take a hit, that's for sure. Right now I'd say it's a bit of a gimmick. Not sure if they could pull it off but it would also be cool if using my PSP, I could remotely set my PS3 to Remote Play mode. That would help me be even lazier!
