I'm personally not that keen on the idea of streaming games. Mainly because my internet connection is not that good. I hope they give you the option of downloading streamable games so that you have the option of putting them on your hard drive if your internet connection is not 100% reliable.

That's all well and good as long as it's optional.

I honestly couldn't give two shits about sharing my 'achievements' (interesting choice of words there :P) with anyone on my facebook or non-existent twitter account. Youtube direct upload is something I could potentially use I suppose, but if the console shipped without it I wouldn't lose any sleep.

Current PS3 games over Gaikai, although impractical, at least is something I could probably get some mileage out of.

I hope it's not compulsary, it's a turn-off for me if it is.

youtube upload thing could be big if SONY manages to convey the value it in. All those lets players will love it.

I think Gaikai is overrated, it won't be important for the next 5 years at least (Internet speed isn't ready yet). I'd give you all a more detailed post, but I'd need to be able to search through all of my 1800 posts for that :P

I honestly don't like this cloud gaming thing. Hopefully it will be fully optional because if not then A LOT of people won't (or even can't) buy the PS4.

I'm more interested in what Gaikai will be able to do besides streaming games.

It's this or no PS3 BC at all, get over it.

"But there’s more interesting news. Wall Street Journal’s sources indicate that PS4 will interact heavily with social services, and will allow direct video upload to YouTube, straight from the console. You may even be able to "compete" with players on other hardware, though what that specifically means remains to be seen."

Killer move

I don't see that as being anything beyond a niche feature, personally...
