Why would you need to download then game each time you want to play a friends game? It keeps saves, surely it can also keep the game downloaded.

Nice idea, can't see it having any sort of impact though. Something people will talk about way way more than they actually use.

i don't think we need to download the game, i think it is using PlayStationNow feature...

i.e. it use streaming feature to view your friend playing, taking over his game will use the same streaming command you have input on your control and sent back to his game...

this feature might need the same PlayStationNow requirement which is both user's internet speed at least must be 5mbps, and it will have a little input lag same as playing PlayStationNow games...

I'm talking about the discussion regarding streaming versus downloading. The response to downloading was that you'd have to download the game each time you used the feature. I would think you could download once then be done, if you want to keep the data on the console. Similar to how Sony said they'd auto download games for you based on what you played and bought.
