The PS Vita is just a few weeks away from hitting Japanese shelves. And if you’re still not convinced about whether to shell out £229 for one when it lands here in February, perhaps emerging news about the console’s stunning Remote Play capabilities might change your mind. See, word is that all PS3 games will play nice on the PS Vita, making the handheld an even tastier proposition than before.
PS3 Remote Play, the nifty net feature that lets you stream video and TV to Sony PSPs, is headed to laptops. On paper, it looks like Sony just put Sling Media and its Slingbox gear out of business, but there’s a catch: it appears only future Sony VAIO laptops will support it.
Sony Ericsson just unveiled the world’s first phone to tap into the PS3 remotely. It uses the remote play function PSP owners will be familiar with, serving up photos, videos and music from the console at home, no matter where you are. Read on for all the details.
Sony’s prepping an update to the PSP’s software, adding the ability to tweak button configurations when playing PSone games, and giving increased control of the PS3 when using Sony’s Remote Play feature. The new software will let gamers close their remote play connection, and choose whether or not to leave the PS3 running. That makes it useful for those leaving their console downloading content while they’re away. The update should be available shortly.
