We've got an update fresh off Sony Computer Entertainment boss Kazuo Hirai's keynote speech. A new feature will be added to the Sony PlayStation Portable and the Sony PlayStation 3's Remote Play system which enables users to turn the PS3's power on and off via the PSP. This new feature will be brought in by future firmware updates.

This was revealed by Hirai during his opener at the world's largest public game expo a few minutes ago. Sony also revealed that it won't take long before PSPs will have the ability to form hubs as shown in the image reproduced below.

Other Remote Play functions will be added in due time (firmware updates) and Sony says this is only the beginning of a project slated for the long term. Keep it right here because more amazing TGS 2007 revelations are incoming.

Sony is at its best !!! The possibility to access remotly the PS3 via PSP is already an excellent feature, but it meant that the PS3 was on. This possibility to turn the PS3 on/off via the PSP to access its content will encourage people to use the PS3 as a media center (photo, video, music, games) on the move !



I can't wait to try this ;)

Sweet! I was hoping this would be included soon. Most of the time when I want to stream music to my psp or something it is too much of a hassle to go downstairs and switch my ps3 on. Roxored Sox.

this is great for when your on vacation or something because i would never feel comfortable leaving my ps3 on for that long (i dont feel comfortable leaving it on overnight lol).
