Linked PSP to PS3

Whenever I start thinking Sony has run out of ideas , it surprises me with something new .. Yesterday one of my son's friend walked in with his brand new PSP. My son who is a Nintendo fan (despite having a PS3 at home ) was pretty impressed with PSP. ..

As the things settled down , we took close a look on PSP. Connected on USB, registration was flawless. It automatically created an access point on PSP for connecting to PS3 .. What amazed me was
  • I could turn my PS3 on (from standby mode) thru inernet (or directly )
  • Once PS3 was on , PSP was gone .. all I had was PS3 xbar on PSP
  • Technically I could do anything that I would otherwise do on PS3
  • Shutting down PS3 was easy and fast
Downsides
  • MotorStorm didn't play ..said PSP doesn't support it
  • I didnt have any PSP games on PS3 ..so couldn't run any game
Despite downsides ..I think its a great integration step forward .. PSP seems to have amazing networking capabilities.

Best thing , it impressed my son over Nintendo DS light .. looks like I will be able to save my PS3 :-)
