i agree with that 100% (mw2 used to be my fave game til care package glitch came) but there will always be glitchers in games taking advantage of in game bugs whether its cloud based or physical.
the only difference is that cloud based means that the whole game will be removed for everyone while these bugs are ironed out whereas with physical media, the game remains available until patches are released, even if that means via tunelling or local multiplayer.

Also buying this CLOUD GAMING SERVICE could be SONYS way of bring back PS1/PS2/PSP backwards compatiblity to all PS3 models/Vita and any future playstations hardware.

Surely that would be a welcomed feature.

Here's some interesting uses for Cloud Gaming that SONY might do.

I barely hit 3.5megabits on a good day with our crappy del service.

Canada is very behind highspeed norms though. I can't even stream dvd quality content without chunking along.

Canada is a very large country.
I use eastlink. They offer 20, 30 , 100, and 200 MB service.
I'm on 20 MB and it is fast enough for my needs.
To play a HD Game like Uncharted 3. 100 MB would be needed for non problematic play.
I do not see cloud Gaming catching on mainstream for a very long time.

So it starts downloadable PS2 games coming to Japan. Anyone care to post this as news on front page.

That's not backwards compatibility, BC means you can take your own disc and insert it into your console and play it, unless ofcourse it has some detection of the disc and starts a new copy of the game in the cloud, so using your disc only as a check, but even then it still isn't BC.. I want native BC...

Handhelds are the future anyways.

BC is when you play old games from old hardware on a new system. So in theory Sony could set up a cloud of PS3's(capable of emulation) or some sort of PC running emulation software, rendering in cloud then allow streaming of ther PS1/PS2/PSP back catalog to any other device.
