Sony Buys Gaikai Cloud Gaming Service for $380 Million

So does this make having a BC PS3 kinda useless now?


Do you really care where I sent this from?

Much more likely they use this technology to entice users to convert to their next gen console IMO.

They can use this to make consoles fully BC without including the expensive hardware to make it work. Not like they'd do it, but the ps3 could even play ps4 games with this.

It makes sense for Sony to get in on a cloud content service. They can bring the heat by providing access to all their music, movies, and three generations of games on any hardware they put out.

It will still take a while for the internet infrastructure to get where it needs to be, plus there's the issue of greedy ISP's blocking bandwidth.

How much would it be to have this option of gaming from previous generations? Could be a type of Sega Channel service for a low monthly price. Would definitely get me in their bandwagon if the games were sensible in price. Lot of backlog potential.

I interviewed at this company for the Controller position, I am thinking that might have been good that I didn't get the job. HAHA.
