Wow! But from all these new features, for us here at hackinformer, the maybe most interesting ‘new feature’ coming with this update might be the ability to Remote play from your PC & MAC.

You might say, wait that’s not new as I saw this already a couple of months back on the blog?! Well you are right and as it seems Sony learned from the RemotePlay hack created by Twisted and surprisingly listened to what the players want!
However it should definitively be mentioned that this is still a very limited version of what COULD and obviously IS possible!

But don’t get me wrong this is still great and we are happy they actually listened to what the users want since.. “This is for the Players” ,right?! 😉
