Its an interesting scenario. I can imagine in "Sony's ideal world" that this would be quite powerful. But there are some practical restrictions: 1/ Bandwidth & transfer rates: You would need to not care about BW, and have access to WiFi points with significant transfer rates (good enough for streaming, etc). I can't even get this at home on a significant ADSL connection on my PC. 2/ Power on: Would everyone just leave their PS3 running when they are away from the house? for days or weeks? It could make more sense with a WiiConnect24 system? Wouldn't it just make more sense to put the media you want on a memory stick - and carry it around with you? Its not like you are going to watch movies on a bus - randomly traveling through HotSpots? And finally - there is no reason that the Wii/DS couldn't do the same - or even the 360/Zune(?). All three sets of hardware *should* be capable of a similar system... if they actually wanted to do this. The Wii might need a USB hard drive or something for the media storage. But its interesting... curious to see what Sony actually try and do with this sort of system.
