PlayStation actually does this in two ways right now, share play and online game rentals.
They both stream the video to you and the controls back to the server. Whereas share play is a P2P connection between two private PlayStation's, the rentals are connecting to Sony's servers. I've done share play and it works well even in reaction intensive games like Call of Duty. In my opinion I feel the prices for online rentals are too high, so I don't participate in that racket. They rent by the hour, day, week, etc. -- Christopher Tyler MTCRE/MTCNA/MTCTCE/MTCWE Total Highspeed Internet Services 417.851.1107 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mathew Howard" <[email protected]> To: "af" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 2, 2015 1:01:11 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] And you thought gamers were grumpy about Latency Before Yeah, Sony has been doing something similar on the Playstations for awhile now... but I've never heard of anyone actually using it.
