45ms is great. When I used OnLive and Gaikai back before Sony bought them I was constantly getting upwards of 150-200ms+.

Latency is dependant on so many variables... I am still not sure about this. Also interesting how many Sony fans have experienced Gaikai in the past... And that it was always a good experience... Not saying coincidence, no, definitely not saying this.

Considering that must be almost two years ago, such a flawless service should be out by now shouldn it?  I mean, if it was perfect two years ago whats the hold up?

Yeah, that's what I also don't get. I mean they have already existing infrastructure, why can't I try it? But as the specialist "iamdead" told us they have to build apps around it. Nothing takes more time than developing apps for an existing service and it's so complex and complicated that US get the apps first, of course. Nothing to do with server farms, peering, infrastructure. It's all there!
