    You do know that the Stream-My-Game involves hacking your PS3 to run Linux first and foremost? Not to mention that Linux on the PS3 only has about 256mb of memory to access, which means it takes about 10 minutes just to boot up.

    And this wouldn't be a loss of exclusivity or a 'port', it's 'streaming' the visual and audio output from the PC through the PS3 to broadcast on the TV, the PS3 isn't actually doing any of the functionality, it's used as an intermediary to broadcast what would normally be displayed on a Computer screen, instead on your TV screen. From what I've read, there is no functionality with the PS3 controller even, you use a USB mouse and keyboard connected to the PS3

    And also it's a matter of, if your computer can't play the game in the first place, you can't properly stream it to the PS3 either. So basically, you have to already have a computer that can run the game just fine...and then you have to think, then why do you need to play them on the PS3 (or more accurately, use your PS3 to broadcast the game on your TV), because you've already bothered to have a Gaming PC

    Basically, have you ever heard of those set-ups where you connect your consoles directly to your PC to play them on your computer? This entire process is that, except in reverse. Instead of Console > PC intermediary > Computer Screen, it's PC > console intermediary > Television screen.

    the PS3 really doesn't need them, it's got it's own gems on the horizon.
