3. I tried it once I got me PSP, but ultimately it turned out to have too many restrictions to be worth anything. You cannot just flip the switch behind the PS3, run out of the house and then Remote Play. You have to turn the PS3 on, enable the feature and then turn it off and it will go into a standby where it is still actually still turned on because you can hear the PS3’s fan running.

   Then if you cut the power to the PS3 and then plug it again you have to do it all over again or it is no dice for Remote Play. I am not in the habit of leaving my PS3 in standby because the 60GB version uses obscene amount of juice while in standby, and I imagine the fake standby necessary for Remote Play must be even more power hungry while at the same time grinding down your PS3 with wear and tear.

   At nights I have the habit of turning my PS3 off by unplugging it from the wall socket, so if I should decide to flip the wall switch to on before running out of the house in order to be able to Remote Play into the PS3 later then I am out of luck. Because I actually have to go through a rather more lengthy process of turning the PS3 on and turning the TV on then select the Remote Play option from the XMB and turn the PS3 off into a fake standby.

   This of course also makes it useless to leave the Remote Play option on while going on vacation in order to be able to Remote Play, because it is not recommendable to leave a PS3 on like that for extended periods of time.

   Correct me if I am wrong, but is it also not true that if I leave my PS3 on to, say, do some folding and leave the house then I cannot Remote Play into it even though Folding at home supports the feature because the PS3 has to be in the fake standby mode in order for Remote Play to work?

   All these things combined equals Remote Play being useless as far as I am concerned.

4. The biggest problem with Remote Play and one that never seems to be addressed is that many ISP’s reset your IP every 24 hours, at this point you can no longer connect to the PS3 unless someone at home turns it on again to re establish the current IP with PSN.

   Yes I know a lot of people say this is not an issue for them but as usual the internet mentality is if I have no problem, there is no problem.

   It would be extremely easy to fix. PS3 firmware update to include a user selectable wakeup timer to wake the ps3, connect to psn then sleep again. Done.

5. Actually what annoys me is that even with the ps3 up and running if you lose your connection it makes no attempt to reconnect.

6. And the point of locally attaching your PSP to your PS3 when your in range of the PS3 is what exactly?

   Now. Show us how it should work over the internet please - ‘cos I buggered if I can get it to work. And why does my PS3 come from standbye to power-on after 30 seconds of configuring RP - then goes in to standbye 2 minutes later?

7. i gave up on remote play over public wi-fi/internet a long time ago, waaay to laggy and jumpy even on the lowest settings to be any use.

   forget about listening to music or watching videos streamed from the ps3.

   works just fine on my 54Meg home wi-fi though

   but as BlueGene points out. what is the point if you’re at home with your trusty ps3?

   @BlueGene, you have to configure your router to stop that happening as it checks the open port the ps3 is using and turns it back on. a total pain in the arse but do-able. first thing is to remove your ps3 from a DMZ and set it to a fixed ip number. easier just to not use remote play over the internet, it’s hardly worth the trouble anyway.

9. @7. DMZ, DHCP address, static Ip address, Nat 2, Nat 1. Tried them all. It won’t play ball.

   @8. That’s the annoying thing. First time it was supported it worked. Tried a few months later after several fw updates - and nothing. I believe one of the updates was to stop the PS3 switching on after setting RP. Stopping it working was Sonys solution!
