Echochrome To Cost Twice As Much On PSP Than PS3?
Here's something disconcerting if it pans out as true: Siliconera reports that Echochrome will cost more than double for a UMD PSP ($37) version than a downloadable PSN/PS3 version ($17) when released on March 19th in Japan. While we've seen similar pricing discrepancies with downloadable vs. retail versions of Warhawk, that price difference included a headset for online chat.
The questions then become, are these two versions identical and will the game support Remote Play? And if so, just how much is it worth to have a UMD? UPDATE: Siliconera updated their post, pointing out that PSP Echochrome has twice the levels. I guess that explains the price difference.

PlayStation Tips For New Owners
With a slew of new PlayStation 3 owners joining the growing horde this holiday season, the official PlayStation blog has been posting a series of helpful tips for new PS3 and PSP users to get the best out of their shiny new toys. Yesterday's post drops some details on DLNA-compliance and connecting your PS3 to your home network in order to share movies, music, and images stored on your computer with the console, which is one of the coolest features of the system and one I actually hadn't set up until reading said article this morning *hides*. Other tips this week have included getting RSS feeds on your PSP, donating CPU cycles via Folding@home, and setting up downloads through the PlayStation Store to your PS3 remotely using the PSP. Old news for those so deep into their systems that they can remotely control their car via their handheld, but for those of you to new or too lazy to know better will find a slew of nifty ways your Sony gaming dealies are more than just gaming dealies.

Imabikisou Is The Second Remote Play Ready PS3 Game
The latest game game to take full advantage of the PSP's Remote Play feature, one that allows PlayStation 3 games to be playable on the handheld, is Imabikisou. That's the Chunsoft developed, Sega published interactive horror fiction game that 99.99% of you will never ever play. It follows the game that 99.98% of you will never play, Lair, as the second game to make the Remote Play screen jump—that we know of.
According to Impress Game Watch, the game plays just fine, minus some squished kanji that makes reading a bit more challenging.

PSP Remote Play Demo Turns Us On (OK, just our PS3's)
More fun with bad vocal translation! Here's the full PSP Remote Play demo from the stage of TGS. It's not as flashy as their Leipzig GPS and voice chat presentation, but turning on and off your PS3 from anywhere in the world is, in all honesty, probably more useful.
I've said this before, but I'm getting pumped seeing Sony finally kicking some ass.

After demonstrating the new Remote Play features on stage (turning on and off your PS3), Kaz Hirai ran through Sony's future plans of PS3/PSP integration. He was short on details, but from the looks of it we'll be able to remotely multiplay 3 PSPs on one PS3. Sweetness.

Play Lair on Your PSP
The mounting buzz on the Playstation forums are true, you can play Lair on your PSP using Remote Play. Well, you can sorta play Lair on your PSP using Remote Play. Unfortunately the PSP does not have the R2 or L2 buttons, so you can't brake, but who needs to brake anyway. Sure it makes the end bosses and many of the levels a lot easier, but honestly, not that big a deal.
If you do want to do this make sure you play through the tutorial level first because unless you can brake it won't let you continue through the training and get to the meat of the game. Check back in a bit for our video of this in action on the PSP2K.

Mainichi Issyo Gets A Little More PSP Play
In Japan, a download of Mainichi Issyo on the PS3 means not only the ability to watch news broadcasts with Toro and his pals, but also a little remote PSP play. Sure, it's only for the Japanese, and the "playing" only really involves being able to pamper Toro with food, but it's something. After last week's update for the PSP (which really only allows you to access the content downloaded on or streamed through your PS3), it's a hopeful sign that Playstation is starting to use the technology to, oh I don't know, actually play a game with.

PSP Internet Remote Play Impressions
My PlayStation Portable gets powered on about every four weeks, on average. With little time to game, even less for my second-string portable, it doesn't get much love at Casa de McWhertor. However, following the Remote Play update to the PLAYSTATION 3 firmware, I became curious about how well it worked. It was time dust off my PSP and test it out. That means giving the PSP its monthly battery charge, remembering that I still haven't finished Exit, and going through the firmware update motions. More »
