How to Hook Up the PSP to the Playstation 3
One of the best features of the PlayStation family of video-game consoles is the easily facilitated interactivity between them. The PSP can connect to the PS3 fairly easily, and once a connection has been established, the PSP can play certain PS3 games through the power of remote play--as well as unlock special bonus content, as in the Resistance series.

It's a good idea but, if you can't access 99% of Playstation 3 games remotely, then it's a complete waste of time. Right now there is only one game that can be played that way and it is Lair. Also who has Playstation One games left? It's a good idea, but if I could play my Playstation 3 games then it would be great, otherwise, it's a complete waste of time!!!!!!
