    Star*Dagger - not having a go at you mate but keen to hear what reasons you have for believing that an unproven new distribution system will be the future?
    From everything I see and read about it there seems to be so many hurdles that will hold it back, not just technologically but entering an extremely competitive marketplace already dominated by some industry giants with a huge user base. I'm not doubting that the industry is heading to digital distribution, I just doubt that this console from a comparatively small company can make any sort of impact at the moment.
    Devices that have set out to achieve a similar purpose have never even made it to the market (I believe that Phantom was one of them).

    I really doubt this is going to be successful.

    I think the service will be more about performance for me. I don't get impressive speeds from my local exchange, so that'll likely be the main point. The subscription price looks reasonable if you actually make use of playing games nearly every day, but it depends what the minimum requirement for broadband speed is.

    You really had me laughing for a good moment with that reply, doesn't change my opinion though that I don't expect serious gamers to trust in cloud gaming.
