So to all of you users who have fast enough internet, how good is the integration? How well does the program execute what its intended to do? I'd love to read a thorough impression on the service.


It tests your connection before it lets you stream all you need is a 5Mbps connection. Although even with a 60Mbps speed I disconnected twice from my game in about an hour. It was slightly annoying but it took me about 2 minutes to get back in and get my save loaded. I could see disconnects being a complaint, but I'd equate it to being disconnected from an MMO (if you've played one). I'm not sure exactly what your question is regarding how well does it execute? I'm not super tech savvy so I can't get into all those details.. But you download the App onto your PS4 or PS3 or PS Vita (or any other TV or Tablet or compatiable phone) and then you can browse the games. Do a connection test. See the games you've currently been streaming. It's a pretty simple and fast lay out I had no complaints. My only complaint would be the games list is lacking.. Although I think this is still an Open Beta? For instance I was streaming NBA 2k14 but isn't 2k15 already out? What's that about? I don't play basketball games much, but being a sports fan I really wanted to play with the current teams and rosters. 

Overall it might be around a 7/10 for me right now, but that could easily move to 10/10. The potential still has me shaking my head, I never thought this kind of stuff was possible. I never thought I'd be sitting on my bed playing Bioshock Infinite on my PS Vita, no downloads, no wait times, and it's silky smooth. I'm extremely impressed with it. Which is kinda why I wanted to see if it was just me, or if others have felt the same. 

 

*oh and I thought this was super cool.. You can stream the games from your Smart TV and sit there and play with your PS4 controller! You don't even need a PS4 in the same house. Just the controller. You can also use the PS4 controller on like 5 other devices while streaming I just can't remember off the top of my head. I just remember I was really surprised at that and how cool it was.
