I’m disappointed in this news. I was hoping this would be part of the march firmware update for Europe and the rest of the world. Being able to connect a external hard drive, digital camera, memory stick, etc. to the PS3 and having access to those files anywhere in the world via a wifi spot is a great feature. As it is right now, it’s just local remote play, and that’s kind of useless.
I wonder how it will work when remote play goes global. Do you need to have the PS3 powered on? Or can you just have it on stand by? I like the fact that you can also access your buddy list on the XMB and use the PS3′s web browser as well.

Why is this being delayed the only use I have for it at the moment is I use the ps3 to listen to mp3′s when I’m in the bath global access would be so much better.

I imagine the testing on this is where the majority of time will/is going. People aren’t going to be too happy if it isn’t pretty well flawless..
Confirming it’s actually coming is good news to me..and it only garnered 3% on your poll
Streaming music over the PSP is great for us..one of the kids can be listening to music while the T.V.the PS3 is connected to is being used for other stuff. .
I’d like them to spend their time opening it up and allow it to be used as PDA etc..maybe the PSP 2.

I agree. I don’t find much use for it know but i like to go on it sometimes. Its just really cool to see your PS3 screen on your PSP. I cant wait for the Global Remote Play. I’m looking forward to showing slideshows (with music in the background) for my family at their houses. Wifi rocks. Also, i cant wait to see how games are going to use the remote play. Maby global remote play games, wow!
