Another great thing about PS4 imo. As far as the US goes, we're going to get a robust streaming service that features BC.

Yes, and pigs can fly, after all.

Look, we are NOT talking about streaming a video. We are talking about EXECUTING A PS3 GAME at the other end. In order to do that, you have to have something on the other end that EXECUTES CELL CODE like a PS3. Whichever way you chose to implement it, by 1:1 or by emulation )good luck with that), it will cost a f*ton of money for the provider, and someone has to pay for that.

If playing a AAA game through a streaming service is the equivalent of pigs flying, you better get that umbrella, because there's going to be ALOT of pig shit. It's already been done and Sony is going to do it as well.

The best news about this is demos. No more having to download 3 GB demos. You can just instantly start a demo up and go. That's huge.
