Here's a clip of the PS3 and PSP playing well together over WiFi. If you've forgotten, Remote Play is a mode on the PS3 that lets you use a PSP handheld as both a controller and a remote screen for the Playstation over WiFi. The thing is, all you can do is browse the net, which you can already do on the PSP. And you can hit up the vids, photos, and videos on the PS3. But not access the Blu ray discs. Too bad, streaming downsized Blu ray over WiFi would be pretty fantastic.
Also, the PS3 becomes unusable in any other form while its in Remote Play mode. And...
In remote play, the PS3 becomes an access point, and the PSP needs to hook up to it Ad Hoc. At least that's how it went for us. Mainly, because the PS3 wouldn't let us set up an AP that was WEP, it wanted to go to WAP on our G network. Anyhow, its fine: the PS3 remained connected to our main internet access point while this was going on.
Also, the PSP isn't doing any sort of PS3 interface in emulation. It's actually streaming a video of the PS3 interface over WiFi. Like the LocationFree TV. In fact, its probably using the same code, since the PSP has the LocationFree client built in.

So basically you take your pictures and movies on the PS3, hindering it useless, from the huge ass TV and put them on a tiny little screen on the PSP. That's sounds way too practical.
Ouch - that all sounds pretty cumbersome - a rushed, confused implementation consistent with the rushed, confused implemntaion of most of the console's other features.
Caveat: I don't hava a PS3. I just read alot.
"the PS3 wouldn't let us set up an AP that was WEP, it wanted to go to WAP on our G network."
WPA?
So, can you play PS3 GAMES on the PSP or not? Wouldn't that be the main point of remote play?
Andy M:
No, you cannot. All you can do is access the internet on the PSP via the PS3, and play non-copyrighted media.
In otherwords, virtually no practical, or useful, functionality at this time.
And on the 20GB PS3 you can't even use remote play even if your PS3 is wired to a WiFi router that the PSP can see. The feature is not available at all.
I'm getting rather irritated with people scoffing at the remote play feature. I think it's a quite biased point of view. If Microsoft were to announce that the Zune can stream Xbox360 downloaded media content over its wi-fi feature, everyone wouldn't shut up about how cool that is. (Note: this could very likely put Zune on the map... anyone taking notes?). The Playstation brand is not ALL about gaming. Get over it. I, personally, love the multimedia computer aspect of both systems as much as the gaming. I'm sure many other people do too, as sales will indicate.
PS: I agree this feature isn't terribly practical at the time, but once they enable remoteplay over infastructure, it could be pretty cool.
Ah, so this is the mysterious "Router" functionality that the PS3 was supposed to have! The ability to let the PSP surf the web using the PS3's internet connection.
I was wondering where that feature went.
I guess you have a point Warf... but as far as downloading files from the internet, it adds the extra step of dowloading them to the PS3 and then you having to move them over to PSP (can that even happen?). It's just easier to connect straight through to WiFi with your PSP.
Am I right about this Brian?
How about this, we should be able to play PSP games on the PS3 using the PS3 controller, just hook up the PSP via USB or remote play and play the game on the TV.
Just an idea.
Can I play my psp game on the 60gb ps3 console?Firmware on both consoles had been updated.
