Sony's been hyping up PlayStation 3's connectivity with the PSP. Game Watch took this picture of the PS3's XMB, revealing a happy PSP icon in the Network menu called "Remote Play". As previously stated, you'll be able to stream data onto your PSP from your PS3, such as video and game content. For example, if you want to throw one of the most expensive console multiplayer games ever, you could wirelessly connect four PSPs to your PSP and start playing (that's $1400 of hardware, baby! Of course, this is just speculation, and will most likely never happen). PSP-Vault also goes into some speculation, hoping for the ability to stream Blu-Ray movies to the PSP, and UMD movies to the PS3. The possibilties are endless, and we hope that Sony takes advantage of that huge potential.
PSP fans better start saving up: and they better save up a lot. The $500 PS3 does not feature wi-fi capabilties, so for PSP-PS3 connectivity to be fully realized, you'll have to go all the way.

So is "Remote Play" truly a Location Free player (i.e. can it stream over the internet) ?

it should be noted that the 500 version has its hdmi back, and that we have seen pictures earlier with psp connected to ps3s with the usb cable.

and what does remote play do? i didn't see to many inputs on the back of the ps3 so i wouln't call it a full spectrum location free player. im thinking either lets you play games, control the ps3, or watch movies.

the $500 version does have an ethernet port though so if its hooked up somehow to an access point it should still work + sony is going to release a wifi addon for the $500 version later on so getting the $600 version isnt the only option

Has the PS3 been confirmed to work as a Wifi hub?
I mean, it makes more sense that the PSPs connect to the same router that the PS3 will.

As mentioned, an Ethernet port would let you connect to the internet but how would you connect external PVR's, cable, VCR's, etc. to the PS3 ? External add-on via USB ?

getting the 500 and upgrading is fine as long as sony does not pull a m$ and charge $100 for it killing the value. now that hdmi is back all aspects of the 500 should be upradeable.
