Sony and the PS Cloud

"With the current success of Valve's service of Steam and the announcement last week of OnLive, Sony has taken the necessary steps in acquiring the name for something they might try in the future.

Should Sony go full force into the Cloud-style of gaming?"

To say the least, shouldn't we first figure out exactly what sonys intentions are with "PS Cloud"???
I haven't read ANYWHERE that Sony actually gave us any news on Cloud. Dead straight to the point not hint hint news anyway..
How do we even know that PS "Cloud" Isn't something to do with the PSP??? I logged on 2 weeks ago and read my first article on Cloud... this is the first time since then and i have not found any evidence on Sony saying anything.. just someone snooping around and found a Patent.

My Idea is hopefully it is something for PSP that allows the PSP user to connect to PlayStation Home!
That would be neat, anyway, this is all just my opinion anyway..

Since we saw OnLive at GDC the idea of Cloud Gaming is real F'n cool but it's also surrounded by ton's of questionmarks.

I'm fine with Sony going forward with it as long as they don't rush the development cycle and launch it at full capacity. I'd rather have my hands on it in 10 years running perfectly smooth than 5 years with ton's of issues.

We'll see

like it hapenned many times in the past, PS Cloud may never see the day of light. It's not unusual for big corporations like Sony or Micorsoft to patent some cool tech and to never use it. I hope it's cool and that we get to use it, but until someone at Sony says anything about it, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Ohh xbox

Ok pwnsause, Your Wrong

The PS3 could be classed as already using cloud computing. You know, with remote play.

The PS3 is the cloud, the PSP connects to it - the PS3 does all the work (running the games, software etc).

hear we go
one day we will see not xbox vs playstation anymore

it will be Playstation C vs Onlive

xbox out of the picture lol Great

unless they do there own

Sony will continue to support blu ray also
and on demand service

By the way
Ps3 can run a os
so i think onlive will be able to stream to ps3

does anyone see the smiling clown with the poofy hair on the sides of his head? Is this a hidden message?

Thanks.

[ironmonkey]

maybe even streamplay ps3 games from your ps3 like killzone2? dunno

[snaz27]

but to be honest i dont like the idea of cloud gaming as i want and like a physical collection of games... i want to ba able to dust the old games off at some point and go over them again at my leisure... the only reason i would even consider this approach is if they made it really cheap like maybe a monthly fee and thats it... like 15 or 20 a month then ok id use it... but we all know that wont be the case they will want to squeeze every penny out of us like some companys are doing with the dlc.
