Play Your PS3 With Your PSP From The Toilet

Over at IGN — who are sometimes our arch-nemeses but to whom we turn very often in the blackest hours of slow news days like today — have posted up a translated summary of some PS3 details that graced Famitsu, in particular about the prospect of using the PSP to play a PS3 game on the can:
Kawanishi revealed to Famitsu that Sony's plans go beyond just media viewing, though. In the future, Sony hopes to allow players to play PS3 games remotely via the PSP. While Kawanishi didn't get into specifics, we imagine the PSP being used just to display game footage sent to it by the PS3 and send back controller data input by the player.
But we particularly like this aside by the IGN Staff:
First up, a caveat to PSP connectivity. The Famitsu article warns that you'll be able to use the PSP as a remote media player only if you purchase the 60 Gig PS3 model, which has Wi-Fi built in. It's unclear if the same functionality can be achieved by connecting your 20 Gig model to a USB Wi-Fi socket or by hooking it up directly to a wireless router. We'll be sure and run some tests once (if?) we get a system at launch.
We love it. Not even the largest gaming site on the Net has any clue if they can get themselves a PS3 at launch
