Even despite this whole graphical debate M$ will do everything in it's power to keep this ability quiet, sue this site, or pay them off to make them work for them.... DAMN M$!!!!! lol
Sony probably wont allow this due to the fact that people are buying pc games instead of ps3 games

who can stop them? sony enable linux on the ps3. not to mention most ps3 games i can think of are not on the ps3. and how many people will use this when it does arive? the ps3 games will still sell.

its illegal to use a program to play pc games on the ps3 if sony doesnt want them to... sony controls everything that can go on their console. and dont say well i bought the system so its mine crap.
don't be silly ... console games will always sell.. not everyone is techy suave to do streaming and such not to mention there are still alot of good games coming out to consoles only..
^^ Yeah PS3 exclusives will still drive software and hardware sales... this PC game streaming feature willl only be known to a small handful of gamers because not every1 is aware of game forums and other sources of game information
The thing is that to play these games on the ps3 you already need a computer able to handle those games. so you could just play on your computer, why bother streaming it at all. I could understand the benefit of maybe playing a game further away from your computer, but beyond that not so much. I dont think this will be that big a deal, that they would try to stop it.

I was sure that running Linux disabled the RXS. I seen it on the PS3 site, but the have since change it with the release of the 40gig. Now I can't find any info on Linux.
I read into this, and your PS3 is more of a media hub. You have to have the game on your PC and it streams onto your PS3. your PC is whats powering the game, and your PS3 is more of a reciver and controller. So you get no horse power from the PS3, so unless your PC can run it you wont be able to run it.
this looks and sounds cool, but you have to have Linux installed on your PS3, set up network. then after all that stream a game from your PC onto your PS3=lag even tho they claim none at all. And atfer all that play some PC game with a PS3 controller. I will stick with Official PS3 games.

Well you can setup a KB/M on the Ps3 so that doesn't hold you down from playing RTS games and other games where KB/M is more favorable. But I see what you mean, your PS3 is really just the receiver, but still it's cool because either way your playing it on your PS3 in a way.
either way this will be slick. My computer can still play the current games out now and coming soon but to have Gears running on the PS3 or evenH@lo 1-3 running would be very funny.
Really neat idea but I think it would be a niche market at best. If you have to have the game for PC and are just streaming it to your PS3, why not just hook your comp to a decent TV or just play on the computer?
Is there a clear benefit to doing this beyond the novelty of streaming content?

if you leave ur pc on with this thing on.. and u have ur ps3 far away.. you can play ur pc games? lol i dunno its not THAT amazing of a thing.. its just a nice feature..
Okay this is my only question. Does your PC have to be optimized to run the game since it's being streamed or can that be handled by your PS3?G-Legend
Like it was mentioned clearly before. Your PS3 is only the receiver. No horsepower of the PS3 is used at all. The whole game is run on the PC. Graphics on the PC will be identical to the one you see on your PS3.
IMO, the graphics will be definitely toned done. Some form of compression/decompression must be used to make lagless streaming possible. And at HD I think there will be loss in quality, audio as well.
so im not going to stream it because my boot camp on my macbook cant handle anything. SO what would be the point of playing a pc game on the ps3 if you can just play it on your pc? Hopefully the linux will allow the game to play directly on the ps3.Â
why would u want to, just play it on your pc lol why stream it i can see streaming from pc to ps3 being kind of cool for other things like if your building your own game for the ps3 but playing pc games on your ps3, its like putting a middle man in all of it for no reason. just hook up your ps3 controller to your pc if you want to use it to play pc games.
streaming your pc to ps3 is cool but playing pc games on it seems pretty useless in my opinion.
hmmm I would have prefered if the PS3 did more of a part in this due to my PC not being the greatest, but I am getting a better one so hopefully I can still run most new games well. I know I can play WoW that'd be sick if this is even true.
Accoring to those 2 sites, the actual game is being played on your pc, but it streams it to your ps3 and you can play the game through the ps3. Kindof like how lair is. Also means your pc hardware can depend how the game plays. Now that sucks. I was wondering if crysis could really play on the ps3...heh.
