That would be another reason why I love the ps3 scene.

i like cloud gaming! it makes my ****ty pc not look so bad, but in case of ps3 i am wondering how much bandwith it will take at peak times for the datacenter to handle all the people who are gaming at the same time, same with rendering... but could be a step in the right direction, but on the other hand, its pure drm or am i wrong?

Probley have another console out before that works good

[bigo93]

Yes, because I want to make it easier for $ony to steal my legally bought games just because someone else found a way to run an exploit with it!

No way in hell would I get into the cloud thing, corporations are all about making profits and screwing the consumer; I would want greater consumer rights with cloud services as everything is in the hands of the cloud host, and what happens when they suddenly claim you broke their terms? You lose everything, you wont get a refund and will be unable to access anything from your account again!

With cloud services there has to be greater security for the consumer, I dont see myself using it much as it puts us at a disadvantage if we need to complain about the service.

You're probably right, but to be perfectly fair, even if sony don't deserve a bit of fairness, in this case DRM is perfectly justified, and really not such a biggie the way I see it. Actually, let me make it clear, that is if we are speaking of a purely cloud based gaming console. If the console is going to be a hybrid cloud/physical media, then I kindly direct you to bigo93 posts, he sums up my thoughts very nicely.

P.S. I wouldn't buy it regardless, sony made it after all. Until I see pics of all current sony bosses beheaded, I won't go near anything made by them.

I believe anything cloud is bad, sure people withoiut a high end rig might like it, but you give both your privacy and your freedom away if the server goes down or the company no longer feels like hosting old games (you paid for) or whatever other reason call me parenoid but everyone has seen how companies treat their customers profit before all. I don't think it should be embraced so easely

As I know sony they can turn on cloud service, but can leave all the same high prices at the same time.

[LoverboySimer]

that will be the end of the world

Steam isn't a cloud gaming service so wouldn't fall under the same thing, steam would be selling you games for the platform you use in this case PS3 and would be seen as direct competition to PSN so they would never allow it, onlive is a different thing altogether and i feel no need to deal with cloud games, atleast if i download the games i buy i can play them if the server is down
