This is very promising. I hope the pricing will be fair. I also hope it releases world wide not long after the important markets.

Looks good, hopefully the implementation can match the concept, if so it could be a nice little feature, especially if they get it working before MS manage something similar, which I fully expect they will try to do

Depending on what PS1 and PS2 games are available, this could be a very interesting service.

I am hoping for more than what is available on PSN currently

I'm still very skeptical of this. Sony better have deals with the ISPs by then so their traffic gets prioritized. I still can't imagine that the lag would be acceptable.

I also wonder how and if it handles trophies.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Didn't Kaz made fun of the cloud to announce...a cloud service?

Anyway I'm with eFKac on this one, but it depends on how many games are available on this service. Why would I ever buy more than 1 device when I can just buy 1 and play all games in there? I honestly don't understand this. Depending on how they manage this it could potentially hurt some hardware sells.

Edit: if it's just to play old games? well in that case this doesn't matter.

it has always been sony's stategy going all back to ps1 that hardware is just a way to sell software. if hardware isn't profitable who cares if it cuts into sales if you can expand the scope of software sales.

playstation will be a more of a service than a device "next gen".

In that case I will just a buy a tablet to play PS games.

For me is ok really because I'm not that interested in Sony games, but Sony fans should be crying because this would mean Sony will technically be a 3rd party company by next gen, this of course assuming that I can play PS4, PS5 or whatever games on a tablet or PC. But I'm probably getting ahead of myself.
