Well, I didn't expect this.

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect :)

My Internet cuts in and out like every 10 minutes so this is a real bummer for me...it's even worse when u have uberly amazing fast Internet...:(

I was looking forward to getting PS3 games on PS4 instead of buying both...:(
I am the foot. I do not like you. You smother me with socks and shoes, then step on me thousands of times a day.

We foot will rebel one day.

it will change your internet browsing speed but not youre overall internet speed, which would be a factor for streaming games in hd.

Hmm, this sounds interesting. I got my PS3 fairly recently so I'll just stick to buying the physical copies, I have much to play for PS3 still haha.

That would be an interesting move. Good on them if they can pull that off. I've worked with several different VDI solutions and none offer the real world performance that you are always promised by vendors. Game streaming would rely on super fast and super precise input signaling, not to mention streaming a 720p or 1080p video signal over the same line, meanwhile youtube buffers 720p video on a 25Mbps connection (25 down 15 up).

*Facepalm*

Yoshi, Google Chrome is a browser.. not an internet speed booster xD

But yes, it is quite fast.

Well, I didn't expect this.

Pretty much what I expected they day Sony bought Gaikai. :)

And with a 4G model of PSVita, it could also use that service.

Naw man, when I switched to Google chrome, my ISP gave my internet speeds a total boost! They upgraded my plan from 30mbit/s to 70mbit/s! o:

Lol

Your ISP isn't going to upgrade your plan for switching a browser.

Seriously stupid disinformation posted here.

If you like google chrome, go for it. It's decent. Comparable to Apple's safari since they're both based on webkit.

But Firefox is great as well.

If you're using Internet explorer... I don't know what to say. Lol
