I tried that once. Pretty rad idea. Only works for single player games, really, but still a cool idea. Big step in the right direction in terms of making PC gaming affordable. The big draw of an xbox or a PS3 is always going to be that you can get good graphics, good games, etc. for less than $300. Getting any worthwhile gaming PC that can compete with console graphics is going to take $500 at least and some computer know-how. Even if you're not building it, you still need to know what you're buying and if it can run the games you want to play. Which will never win out over "spend $200 on this console and everything works and is fine and is what my friends have."

Streaming from a big server-rack corporation versus streaming from your home PC... and we're talking about full-on video games here not movies or whatever.

But then after I read "Play PC games anywhere in your home" I was like: starfishS!

But you only need a server when you are hosting for more then one person, not only that this is going to only work better since it is a LAN.

Everything that is being done with this has already been done, the only thing Nvidia is doing is sticking a stuffty controller to a phone.
