PS3's Lair Playable Via Remote On PSP 84
Next Generation has confirmed with Sony a rumor working its way through fan boards: Lair is playable via remote on the PSP. That is, you can load up the game on your PlayStation 3, and then actually play it on the PSP's small-but-beautiful screen. This is functionality that Sony has been hinting at since the PS3 was announced, but up until now remote play has been restricted to music and movies stored on the console. Kotaku notes in their writeup that you need to play through the tutorial first on the console proper if you want to do this. The PSP doesn't have the buttons the game uses to brake.

Well, presumably in your Sony®-branded home, you'll have your Playstation® 3 connected up to your expensive and enormous Sony® BRAVIA® high-definition television. But what happens if some other member of your household wants to watch the television? Do you go without playing your wonderful games? No! Just get out your Sony® PSP® and continue from where you left off.
Potentially while sat on the bog, squeezing out a turd(TM).
(Personally, I think it could be pretty cool if this wireless-to-PSP thing is done to completion - turning the PS3 into some sort of Digital Entertainment Hub thingy for the home. Watch or play via television or PSP - but I know the reality will have hardly anything working, and it'll be more an interesting afterthought and gimmick than anything useful...)

Well thank goodness! It sure isn't playable with the PS3 on it's own!
