How to Put My PS3 Controller in Remote Play

"Remote Play" is a useful function that allows the Sony PS3 (PlayStation 3) and PSP (PlayStation Portable) to link the two systems over a wireless connection. Once connected, users can access the stored information on the PS3 using the PSP. In remote play, you can use your PS3 controller to play games on the PSP. Even for those inexperienced with the connection process, linking the PS3 controller is straightforward and simple enough to complete in under 30 minutes.
