PlayStation NOW
PlayStation NOW will
revolutionize HD gaming. You can play all your PlayStation games on Bravia TVs via
internet without the gaming console.
PlayStation Now is Sony’s cloud-based
streaming gaming service that solves the PS4 backwards compatibility issue bringing PS3 games to the PS Vita, select Sony Bravia TVs and
non-PlayStation devices like tablets and smart phones.
Set to launch in the US first in the summer, Sony has yet to announce when PS4 owners in the UK can expect to get access to PlayStation Now, which will be available as a rental or subscription service. But it was up and running at CES 2014, so we had a go to see what it's like.
Working in a very similar way to cloud gaming service OnLive minus the small box, PlayStation Now will stream games through the Gaikai cloud gaming platform. According to PlayStation representatives demonstrating the service it will require a 5 Mbps broadband connection at the very least to keep things running smoothly.

It's worth noting that PlayStation Now is not included as part of PlayStation Plus service so you will have to pay extra for the privilege of playing and resuming PS3 games across compatible devices.
Sony is focusing on bringing a library of PS3 games to PS-Now but has yet to say how big this catalogue will be when it launches. We’d love to think games from the original PlayStation and PlayStation 2 could be added and is something Sony is not entirely ruling out.
Sony has been hammering
home the message that its next-gen console is for the gamers and PlayStation
Now has the potential to be another great new feature to wave under the noses
of Xbox One owners. Having a good enough internet connection is going to be
vital though and we are a little disappointed that it won’t be included as part
of PlayStation Plus. If you are really missing playing your favorite PS3 games,
So PlayStation Now is going to be a great way to make it a reality.
But Playing it on a show
floor at CES 2014 is different thing so of course it is going to be a very
different prospect running it on a home broadband connection so it will be
interesting to see how it Deals with a 'normal' environment.
No need to buy a PlayStation console to play a PlayStation game! WOW.

This is really a
