Sony is a visionary at work
The biggest wow factor for me, is the Remote Play between PSP and PS3. Its awesome, its not completely perfect but definitely mind blowing. I did a demo for my friend (a big time MS fan and MS is his client) showed him the streaming video of lair from PS3 to PSP, played streaming music CD and the photos. My friend was literally blown off by this stuff. All these streaming over Wi-Fi, setup in few simple steps. My hats off to Sony for their vision, the reason to love Sony and hate MS.
The streaming slightly slow due to PSP's processing capabilities I believe, but other than I see a huge opening for remote play experience. The PS3 XMB needs to be multitasking to do both Remote play in back ground and do other things in foreground, which is the main drawback for me right now but a fixable issue.
Now to think about this remote play, Sony initially annouced PSP in 2004 and mentioned about PSP to PS3 connection. This was all before Wi-Fi became a crazy. To have the product annouced in 2004, Sony would have been planning for alteast two years, so say from 2002. In 2002-2003 to have a long term view about Wi-Fi and plan for Remote play is awesome. This is a visionary at work unlike the pseudo visionary MS.
I am definitely looking forward to see how Sony takes advantage of this remote play to give an unique experience.
