With the release of the PS Vita not too long ago, Sony has really ramped up the power and capabilities of its portable gaming console, formerly its much-loved one.
PSP
a few years ago.
Naturally, all this extra power and functionality allows for more than just playing quality console games. In fact, one of the most impressive (and simply amazing) features you can take advantage of on your PS Vita if you also have a PS3 is remote media and game play on your PS Vita.
Let’s take a look at how to connect your PS3 to your PS Vita and everything you can and can’t do with this compact feature.
Note: Do you have a PSP or PS3? Check out some of the great articles we have on them. Like how to transfer PSone saves between the two or how to optimize your PS3 for the best Bluray experience.
Register/Pair your PS Vita with your PS3
To pair PS Vita with PS3, you need to register it first. This is a one-time only thing, so if you haven’t already, follow the instructions below. If not, just ignore them.
If you haven’t subscribed to PS Vita on your PS3
Step 1: From the XMB on your PS3, go to Setting menu. There, select Remote play settings from the available options and then select Device registration.
Step 2: Choose PSVita . system from the options shown and then introduce the verification code on your PS Vita.
If your PS Vita is already registered:
Step 1: On XMB on your PS3, go to Network and choose Remote play.
Step 2: On your PS Vita, tap the corresponding icon to get started Remote play. Then choose how you want to connect (I recommend connecting via Private network, much better quality), and you’ll be good to go. You’ll see your PS3 screen right on your PS Vita.
Hot Tip: You can also remotely turn on your PS3 using your PS Vita by selecting Remote start options from the settings mentioned above. That way you won’t even need to be near your PS3 to access it.
Content ready to play remotely
See what content is available to you on PS Vita via Remote Play and what you can and can’t do with it.
Game
Some games are available to play remotely on the PS Vita. However, most of them are classic PSN and PSone games. Only five retail PS3 games are available to play remotely. That is:
- God of War Collection
- Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection
- PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
- Robots; Notes
- Tokyo jungle
We’ll update the list as more PS3 games start to offer this feature. For a full list of other (non-physical) titles, check here.
To start playing any of these via remote play, simply insert the disc into your PS3 (unless you own the digital versions) and start the game from your PS Vita. You even have the option to customize the controls and image quality.
Video
When it comes to video, you can use Remote Play on your PS Vita to play videos stored on the media server, as well as flash media and videos stored on your PS3.
Naturally, Blu-ray movies and any other type of protected content are not supported by Remote Play.
image
Contrary to what happens with video files, you can view most image file types on your PS Vita via Remote Play, including all major formats like PNG, JPG, etc.
Alternatively, you can also view images from remote media servers, which is pretty cool.
Music
Just like photos, music that can be played via Remote Play from your PS3 on your PS Vita is virtually unrestricted as long as it’s not DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected. Plus, if you have songs or playlists that have been ported to your PS3, they’re perfectly playable via Remote Play on your Vita.
Hot Tip: When playing remotely on PS Vita, you can go to PS3 settings and choose that as Audio output optional, that way you can enjoy PS Vita games and media with the sound coming out of your home audio system.
Others
Like with the various vehicles mentioned above, other important options from your PS3 are available through Remote Play on PS Vita. Some of these include PS3 settings, browsers, some video applications, Friend menus and more.
And there you have it! If you have a PS3 and PS Vita, you can do a lot of cool things with them using Remote Play. And all of them without wasting any precious space on your PS Vita memory card.
