| Euphoria14 said: All your other issues may end up being taken care of if SONY makes full use of their Gaikai purchase. At that time they could easily create a higher monthly payment service that would allow for streaming of all games across the Playstation catalogue. I would guess in $20/month range and would likely exclude newly released titles. Only adding them after 3-6 month of release in your territory. |
Streaming games will take a long LONG time to be viable to everyone. Half of the USA doesn't have fast enough internet connections to stream 1080p at 60fps. I would NEVER pay for a service that I can't get the quality I want. I also like my collection or physicle games more than my digital licenses.
When everyone has affordable fiber internet in their homes I can see streaming games take over, but that is at least a generation away. And by generation I mean a human generations not a console generation.
Right now you have to live in a major city and within close distance to a server farm and have very fast broadband to stream games at the quality expected from a retail game.
