I wish they would go more into the technology behind all of this? I am assuming only more slow-ish moving games will work? No multiplayer or quick twitch games? Or are they banking on streaming/google fiber becoming more common place before this comes out?

Could you sum up the total amount of money needed to be able to do all the things you listed?
Approximately as much as $1,200 worth of kitchen appliances! BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! If you act now, you'll also get Uncharted: Golden Abyss and The Walking Dead: Season One!

at times I wonder if he got into gaming right when the 360 launched :/

Yeah, especially if you owned a PS3. I can't think of too many great Sony first party games that weren't either made for the PS3 or released in some type of HD collection. The PS1 stuff is cool, but I don't see too many people paying a monthly subscription to play Crash.
servers were in the same building lol
LOL Gies is amazing as usual!

How much does a Vita cost?
Hopefully the subscription doesn't add too much to the cost of PS+, especially if it's only first party games.
I wonder how hyped he'd be for a Microsoft version? On a scale of 1 to Doritos...

Yeah, people need to temper their expectations. This won't be some picture perfect BC replacement, but it is a nice option and I'd rather have it available than not.

Sounds pretty bad. Unfortunate. Hoping we get more "definitive" editions of good PS3 games so I don't have to use this service.
wow what a tool

Well it would be pretty hard to sign up for the service without knowing the price....
Seriously though, I'm sure they will get into the details at E3.
Did you expected different? Even local-based streaming solution have visible compression artifacts.
The thing is that is silly to think only Sony games will be available.
Here's what Vita TLoU looks like
Hmnggggg

There's a reply on the PS Blog saying "It will initially become available in US (mainland). We will announce the services availability in other areas when we are ready to expand the service to those customers. More info soon!" which does not sound good.
Actually the impressions were largely positive. What sounds bad about it?

I still have the podcast where him and the rest of the rebel FM cast go on for about 15 minutes about the 360 being the only game system they ever need. He proceeded to shit on the entire midwest for the next 15 minutes. I unsubscribed after that, so it was the last episode I had cued.
Agreed. But even if they are, thats still a pretty darn good list.
Positive they will have third party games, though.
even on fios connections with more bandwidth than the NSA, it's still going to feel like you're swimming in molasses. it's just not a good solution for input sensitive gaming and anyone telling you otherwise is more interested in the contents of your wallet than the quality of your experience.
Basically yes, just rebranded.
Actually, this is a great point. Save your game fucking often.
Stop giving this hater any attention!
LOL Gies is amazing as usual!
This is exactly the thing.

Arguably, he's not entirely wrong that it'd be hard for Sony to push a streaming service solely with their first-party content, even across PS1/2/3 & 4.
But that's like saying Netflix only has Netflix original shows, or that HBO has nothing except HBO produced shows.
Partnerships, do you know them, Geis? Even Onlive ( who has like zero leverage compared to gaming titans like Sony ) managed to sign a good deal of 3rd-party games for their streaming content.

What part of that hands on sounded pretty bad? They sound very optimistic, especially considering the service is still 6-8 months away from launching.
Input lag and noticeable image artifacts. Input lag in particular needs to be solved or this will be useless for a lot of games.

Yeah, that's honestly not a good sign. Not a bad sign necessarily, but not a good one.
This service will have....half to 1 million user, tops. And I am counting the people try it with the free code.
Hey Sony, you know those "broadband partners" in Europe you mentioned last year?
Well?
