I wasn't aware of that. It actually does make sense in this scenario because the cell processor is such a singular piece of tech. It does seem like a very expensive way to go about it though because they still aren't cheap.

is that the page you are referring to? It's rather intersting, and a clevar way to cut down on the cost associated with it. Essentially creating a custom octo PS3 designed server motherboard. It has likely been tweaked since then as well because the quality of service with PSNow compared to it's beta is quite good, nearly flawless given the right connection, which isn't nearly as hefty as would be initially expected. Although, they still need to add more games for it to take off, but it will come especially now that it's beyond the beta. 

Well tbh - I have a feeling one thing Sony is doing to improve performance is pull the netflix in a box concept. They are installing PS Now racks at local ISP hubs to reduce latency. I'm guesing that contributed to the performance increases.

Its also why these haters piss me off. I experience ZERO input lag on my ps4... and only hit issues on the vita when my wifi flutters. This is on twitchy games too man...

I don't have a PS4 right now, but I used Onlive and had fairly good experiences with it, and that's pretty old tech now comparitively. It certainly isn't a bad think like many seem to think it is. I personally don't think it's ready for prime time yet, but give it a few more years and it very well could be. 

I'm actually quite interested in it on a Playstation TV. Any experience with it on that?
