The only demo seen was someone playing a Casino Royale trainer off of the PS3 on the PSP using WiFi, which works only inside your house. Eventually that will be an "anywhere" function that streams over the internet, but not now.

One feature planned is playing PSOne games you download onto your PS3 on your PSP. Using the PSP as an extra controller or extra display in games is not supported, but will come soon. However, LocationFree TV is not there and will never be there. When learning of this, Crecente punched the wall with his good hand, broke that too, and is now typing posts with two pens up his nose. – Jason Chen

I'll tell you what's going on: Sony's LocationFree TV line gets the LFB-20 wireless video-streaming base station, and the LFB-10, which is an ethernet only version. The systems both use H.264 codecs to put video across your network to a PC, Mac, PSP, and Sony's dedicated display. And now, a regular old TV. *cough*obvious*cough* What will they think of next!? Jump, and I'll tell you the secret.

They're cheaper than the last generation, at $250/$200, and the updated codec lets it jam video across a network at a mere 300kbps.

John Falcone, over at CNET, hints that Sony is working on a client for mobile devices, and maybe a PS3 client. That would put it directly in direct competition not only with Sling Media's place shifting equipment, but the Xbox 360 and Windows Media Center's setup, too. Any competitive situation that makes it easier for me to watch TV while I'm taking a poo, I'm excited about.– Brian Lam
