I also heard that the PS4 will feature a slot where you can insert your PS3 for B/C



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

LOL

if my PS3 is called FAT... then my PS4 will be a obese pregnant with a fat child. don't know if my living room floor can handle that, it will open a big hole into my downstairs neighbor.

Sigh...maybe in 10 years when broadband internet is actually spread far enough.

Gaikai will be important for the PS5, when most people actually have internet fast enough to properly use it. Also, for the "biggest" comeback in history Sony would have to surpass the PS2, no way in hell. Let's all just wait until the console is properly announced, goddamit. All this hype without any solid information is just annoying...


You can stream HD movies with a 6mbps connnection on netflix, and you can stream games with an 8mbps connection on onlive.. there shouldn't be a problem streaming games next year onto the next playstation.. considering most people have upped to a broadband connection in the U.S at least

According to this link 119 Mil. people in the US don't have broadband at all while 19 Mil. don't even have the option to get it. According to this link the average speed is 6.7Mbps, which would not be fast enough for onlive (so I'll go ahead and say it won't be enough for Gaikai either), so you can imagine how many people below average with broadband won't have the required speed either. Add the people without broadband in and certainly ~50-60% of the US citizens currently wouldn't be able to use a streaming service like Gaikai.

Don't get me wrong, Sony will probably turn Gaikai into something incredible, but this gen won't show Gaikai's true potential.^^

From another thread like this...

I don't say that bandwidth is not important but far more important for streaming is *latency*. You will have a very bad gaming experience with a 100 mbit access via satellite.

That will actually be an advertised feature, called "making frienemies" later to be removed for the slimmer version, that only requires the cell to be inserted after you dug it out of your FAT with a crowbar.

no need for a crowbar... will just leave my PS3 on 24/7 and, in its awesomeness, TH3 C3LL will melt its surroundings and hover above  the dead PS3 with a golden ring halo around it...
soundtrack: the sound in jetpack joyride when you get 3 hearts in the slot machine and the guy come back to life.
