Enterprising hackers, who have cracked open the PS3's v3.55 firmware, now have a pretty neat feature running on Sony's new handheld: the ability to remotely play games like Battlefield 3 on a PlayStation Vita.

While remote play itself is nothing new, having been enabled between the PS3 and PSP (and already some Vita games), it's far from a widespread feature. And is definitely not supported on games like Battlefield 3, Arkham Asylum or Red Dead Redemption.
