Going through the system update the other day, Sony told us that the new firmware added Trophy-sorting features, as well as preparation for 3D gaming. Add this to the list of what Sony does to your PS3 under the radar – it seems they’ve added remote play support for future VAIO PCs, among others.

There seems to be a new BD Audio Output listed under Video Settings. Support for Direct and Bitstream have apparently been added. But the bigger crunch of what has been found so far is the addition of remote play support for PCs. According to PlayStation.com:

You can now select [PC] as an option under [Remote Play Settings] > [Register Device]. When you select this option, you will be able to use the remote play feature to operate your PS3 system from future models of the VAIO PC. Details of this feature will be announced on the official VAIO website at vaio.eu/playstation in May 2010.

It’s pretty much understandable why they wouldn’t announce this addition on the firmware update – the new feature is to be announced at a later date after all. We should get more info on what we can do with it once it’s announced.
