I'm not sure about this, but there is remote start up on the PS3 through a PSP. I know you can stream stuff from the PC, but can you do remote start ups?

Wait, so do I win then? It says the computer needs to be turned on already before you can use it, i.e. no remote startup.

Yeah, it appears there is no app for that!

Just ordinary remote play then. The PS3 games that support it are played from the PSP, but run on the PS3 and streamed to the PSP.

So that would be like using your PSP screen as the display for the PS3?

That's not what I meant. What I meant is that you can control a few PS3 games through the PSP. If you're sitting across the world, you can use your PSP to boot up the PS3 and play a game that supports remote play. The game will be running on the PS3, but you're controlling it through the PSP, and the PS3 streams a video of the game being played to the PSP. It kind of makes the PS3 the same as an OnLive server.

And fuck yeah, beaten in the first post

What do I get?

And as for you, mr smart alic

 

Then the PS3 can't do everything, because it can't play Iphone games :P

some psp minis are iphone games and u can play them on ps3, so IT only does everything, even iphone games!!

Anyone who says 'PS3 games' isn't getting the point. PS3 games are just videogames, something both the PC and iPhone are quite capable of playing. Playing videogames is not something that is exclusive to the PS3.

Then try running Killzone 2 on an iPhone.

With your line of reasoning only does everything categories would include games, word processing, video streaming and playing (but not referring to specific media) and connection.

Heck even my crappy first generation Nokia mobile phone would do that through games (snake), word processing (text messages), video streaming (yeah kind of) and connections (with Bluetooth and Infrared - wonder what happened to that!).

Yes, your crappy old Nokia can do that too. The differentiator here is that the PS3 is so much newer, that it is so much better at it. But that's not really the case with the iPhone and the PC. The only "real" difference is the power you have on the PS3 vs. the iPhone, but the iPhone is still very much a viable choice for playing games.
