Sony to Acquire Cloud Gaming Company Gaikai

I'm thinking if the industry keeps marching toward "online only" and "cloud based" video gaming we may yet see 1983 happen again.

Ah well if we were talking about bits then I usually get about 16-19mbits/s (according to speed test) and upload speed is just terrible at 0.49mbits/s and for some reason it's always around 0.5 whenever I try speedtest.

I do agree though that games will likely transition to cloud based services, I will accept that but personally I prefer having my own hard-copy when/if possible. I also get 150GB a month and it is a shared household so things could get interesting towards the end of the month :/

I have gamed on their system and it works fine, except for lag on distant servers, but that has always been an issue for most. FYI - I use Telstra DSL.
