    If you have an hour to spare, please take the time to watch this, all of it. Don't complain that it's too long.

    This both scares, intrigues and makes me feel nice.

    I think this is the future of gaming, especially console gaming, time will tell whether this is the actual future but I don't see why not. It unites all platforms, games and such into one, seamlessly.

    Just watch it.

    That's awesome, with something like that I would expect the prices of PCs to drop since you wont need anything decent to play the games, I'd settle for the TV one personally, no point in the PC one when you can have the exact same thing on a TV.

    The only downside is, it's fully dependent on your internet connection, if you don't have a good enough connection you wont be able to stream the games so easily, they'll probably eventually just let you download them to some external harddrive addon thing to solve that at some point though, bet it wont be cheap either, probably £100+ even if it does cost nothing to make.

    Well Virgin were updating to 50mb which would be alright but that's not exactly your standard internet price no doubt.

    OMG I JUST WATCHED IT!!! I am SO excited now. The only thing I'm worried about is how much of a money grabber it's going to be. I mean you'll have to pay to go online, then pay for the games obviously but he also mentioned loads of other extra stuff you can pay for, like items in games. As long as there's all the normal games that you just buy and play, it'll be good. By that I mean as long as they don't try to put extra emphasis on pay to play subscription games etc.

    This sounds good, but it'll end up being far to expensive if they're the only service that does it. no competition means they can charge whatever they want.
