Control your PS3 with your Sony laptop!

[TimeLord]

My Sony Vaio got an update today about something called "Remote Play with PS3".
Cool! I have no idea what that is, but I will look it up anyway because I have a PS3. This is what I found.

Remote Keyboard with PlayStation 3 allows users to establish a bluetooth connection between the VAIO computer and PlayStation 3 so that users can make use of the computer's keyboard and touchpad to operate PlayStation 3 system non-game and some compatible game functions. As promised here is a piece of software for you all VAIO owners (though presumable there is a patch out there in the wild that will allow this app to run on a non-VAIO computers) called Remote Play with PlayStation 3.

Remote Play with PlayStation 3 allows you to display the PlayStation 3 system on a VAIO computer and remote operate from the VAIO computer, therefore it also allows your VAIO to remotely access and playback certain content on your PS3 from virtually anywhere in the world. Once the remote play connection is established between the VAIO and the PS3, the PS3's XrossMediaBar(XMB) menu screen appears on the display of the VAIO giving the VAIO playback control of your PS3. From here you can playback your photos, music or videos stored on your PS3 with that content being streamed in real time to the screen of your VAIO. If you got any PS1 games as well as a handful of PS3 games that support Remote Play, you can always play those games on your VAIO. Lucky Europeans and Aussies who have purchased the Play TV Digital TV Tuner accessory for their PS3 this remote Play software allows you to either watch the TV recordings you have made on your PS3 or watch live TV on the display of your VAIO from anywhere in the world. It is very similar to Locationfree software if you remember that one (can be installed on your VAIO or if you have a PSP it is already preinstalled, all you have to own is the Locationfree device like LF-V30 or earlier models LF-B20).

That's the article I found. It's pretty good that technology like this is being linked up.
Even if it is only Sony to Sony at the moment.

I wasn't sure if this went in Off Topic, or Gaming news :/
