PSP and Remote Play

Does anyone use this feature? How does it work and how well does it work?

I just picked up a PSP-GO, brand new in the box for $187.50 off e-bay. Honestly, I still can't believe I won it. It had 27 mins left and I just waited around till 40 seconds left and put a high bid at $200.00. Look around at a few places.

You just won it or you just received it in the mail?

I just won it about 35 minutes ago. The dude selling it is from the US, some place in the Mid West. As soon as I won, I sent him an e-mail and then paid by pay-pal right after it. He just sent me an e-mail saying he received my Pay-Pal funds and he will be shipping it out tomorrow. Total with shipping was just under $200.00, which I can't complain about at all.

Someone has a "buy it now" for $187.50 (same price as I just won), brand new in the box if your looking around on E-Bay. Just type in PSP GO in the search box and it should pull up.

Let us know how it goes! I hope you got a good deal, not ripped off. That's a great deal for a Go!

Well, he listed it as new in the box...unopened, sealed, etc. I know his name, address and what city he lives in. Of course, it could all be a lie too. I've never had a problem off e-bay, yet. And the dude has a 100% rating with a bunch of stuff sold, which made me feel better about putting a bid in for it. He did respond back really fast, which usually indicates he's ok. I'm assuming it was a gift and he doesn't want it.

Ya it's probably ok, I've been ripped off on ebay before unfortunately. Always got my money back, but it's a long and annoying process (3+ months in all my cases).

Hi,

I experimented some with Remote Play the other day. It could be really good for me because I have a 500GB hard drive in my PS3 which could hold all my music (in MP3 form) and a lot of movies (in MP4 form) and then I could watch them even when I go away.

Also... I could enjoy any media on the PS3 without having to run my projector which is neat too.

I still have some problems though. My PS3 always rejects my PSP unless I have the PS3 on and navigate to the remote play thing in the XMB. This means I have to have the PS3 and the projector on and at that point I don't see the usefulness of remote play since I have the whole theater up and running and I could just use that instead.

Strangely... Videos play great over the remote play (even though they must be down converted on the fly) but music stutters. I have no idea why it wouldn't be the other way round.

Remote play could be great for me but it may just be a little less than use-able. I'll keep looking into it.
