    I think so..you play in a web browser it seems..

    on a side note..there is an affiliate program...with a single line of code..we could play demos of games right here at XOO website..and they pay affiliates.

    I posted more on that in our suggestions thread

    Good move from Sony but broadband infrastructure isn't the best in some places in the US according to other articles etc.
    Also the pricing is yet to be announced but i wouldn't mind paying another £40 on top of PS+ for a years work of streaming

    Poppycock! I'm sure the same can be said for America's gazillion different states, areas, cities, whatevs, perhaps minus the different providers.

    That reasoning makes no sense to me.
    I wish developers and other tech folk would stop treating Denmark like a fucking 3rd world country, just because some parts of Europe hasn't had jack shit for technological advances in the past decade.

    Bah I say!

    I hope it is reasonable priced. Performance wise I know it works as I played Mass Effect 2 (or was it 3) from a browser without any issues on a school computer a few years ago. Rather impressive technology but I already own a PS2/PS3 (which emulates PS1/some PS2) and my girlfriend owns a first edition PS3 which is completely backwards compatible.

    Don't get me wrong, it is a useful product but unless it is netflix or similar cheap then I am better off emulating on my PC or playing the game physically.
