Basically, from what I understand, the game is on a server somewhere, you connect to that server, and play the game through your PC.

You get a pretty high end game, and the impression of playing it on your PC.

 

I guess its fairly simple - all that is sent is your input, and you receive a video of what you just did, they just need a nice machine to do the number crunching bits and send back data pronto.

 

Anyway - do you think the big 3 are worried?

tbh I'm surprised they haven't done this themselves, from the point of view of piracy this is pretty fail safe, as in people would have to physically hack in to the server to steal games.

 

on the downside.. if my internet connection dies I'm angry. If I was using this system and the net died on me I would be that much angrier, and bored.

 

also I kinda like the box cases... Pricing isn't mentioned either.. do they charge per go, per month, per game you play?

 

anyway, what do you guys think?
