I somehow caught this news in passing, tried it out and it turns out it's actually really really cool!

For those familiar with remote play, you would know it can only done from a PSP, certain Sony phones and certain Sony Vaio notebooks.

Recently (as in a few days ago), a guy (NTAuthority) managed to create a working hack to allow the program to run on any Windows 7 PC.

http://www.haxnetwork.net/2010/06/sony-vaio-remote-play-patch-this-one-works/

I downloaded the program (from [url="http://tinyurl.com/sonyvrp"]here[/URL]) and the hack (from [url="http://www.haxnetwork.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=376"]here [/URL]- need to register) and simply followed the readme. It works perfectly! I have it running via wifi on my netbook, and via ethernet on my desktop which doesn't have wifi at all, and still works despite the initial report saying you need a WLAN card for the initial pairing. Note: my PS3 is connected via ethernet to my network.

You can adjust the quality and response settings of the network from within the app, so for local networks I just cranked them as high as they would go and took some screenshots for y'all.

Clearly the resolution isn't particularly awesome but for watching videos and tv it's really very good, and even fullscreen is ok. For everything else, the text is a little blurry but still legible so you can get the job done.

I've not tested this external to my home network, but if it functions like my PSP then you should be able to connect via the internet to achieve the same goals.

Here it is on a 1920x1080 desktop (note: this image has been resized to 50%):

Watch some TV, perhaps remotely record that program you forgot about:

Or hire and download a movie remotely from work to watch later than evening:

Half the images have 'bandwidth expired' issues so hard to tell what this does. I read the link at the top though.

Whats it do anyway, a VM for PS3 on Windows 7?
So in other words play the PS3 via your Windows machine?

Dont see the point if thats what it does, since most people would have it connected to their TV/Monitor...

It basically enables Remote Play (a feature that was already available for PSP owners) on Vaio laptops, and now with a patch Win7 laptops.

It's useful for those that want to watch their PlayTV recorded material on their laptops (outside, in the bedroom, where-ever).

You're also able to access all the content available on your PS3 remotely via Internet connection. e.g. At work, wanna watch the world cup and have PlayTV installed on your PS3 (and the appropriate ports forwarded), and have Remote Play installed on your laptop? Then you can.
